Description[edit]
Official Data. (Chart sourced from Traveller Map).
Updated Data. (Chart sourced from Traveller Map).
The subsector is named for a local pocket empire, the Akigura Union. The other power here is the Salinaikin Concordance, extending from the Far Frontiers Sector to trailing.
Subsector Summary: 1116[edit]
Astrographic Features & Trade Routes[edit]
No information yet available.
Stellar Distribution[edit]
On Imperial star charts, the primary stars of many systems within the subsector are incorrectly identified as white dwarf stellar remnants.
This consistent error appears to date back to the time of the Imperial First Survey.
- Some authorities claim that it was a deliberate large scale effort to discourage interest in the region.
Ongoing study by the IISS has revealed the error, but this occurred after the publication of the Imperial Second Survey.
- Verified data confirming the exact nature of each star would command premium prices.
Official Data
A basic map showing the officially accepted distribution and size of stars within Akigura Subsector, right, top:
- 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.
Updated Data
A basic map showing a more modern understanding of the distribution and size of stars within the subsector, right, bottom:
- 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.
Borealis Group[edit]
The Borealis Group can be seen as a bright, dense, noticeable grouping of stars in the skies to Spinward-rimward.
- 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.
The Borealis Group contains significant amounts of gas and dust that reflects and refracts the light of the stars, giving it an ethereal glow.
World Listing[edit]
Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds lying within Akigura subsector is available.
- The primary source material for all data is Traveller Map. However, note that some of this data is incorrect or out of date.
- World articles may have slightly different data: some elements of the data contained within articles has been updated.
- Data is occasionally updated as new information becomes available.
AAB library archives contain expanded data about the following systems:
16 Worlds in the Akigura Subsector
Verified updated data is constantly sought.
- Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
