Stellar Distribution

A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Babs Subsector, right:

• The color corresponds to the visible color of the star, which links to its spectral classification.
• The size as shown indicates both the physical size of the object and its relative brightness.

Note that the stars as depicted are representative. Any star, no matter what its size, is a mere speck within the hex it occupies.

• Ordinary main sequence stars can barely be seen from even a hex away.
• Huge, intensely luminous giant stars can be seen from across the subsector and far beyond.

Rift Regions

The subsector lies on the edge of the vast empty expanse of the Idella Rift.

• The Rift dominates the coreward parts of the subsector.
• It covers parts of four sectors.

The highest tech level commonly encountered out this Far Along (spinward of the Third Imperium) is TL–12, though a few worlds may be more advanced.

• This level of technology allows the routine use of up to Jump-3 drives.
• Areas that cannot be crossed by Jump-3-capable vessels are denoted as rifts.

Borealis Group

The Borealis Group can be seen as a bright, dense, noticeable grouping of stars in the skies to spinward.

• It is a huge cluster of stars centered on the supergiant Theta Borealis.
• It is a distinctive astrographic feature that can be observed from all across Charted Space.
