Ftyeeta Subsector is Subsector L of Iphigenaia Sector.
- It lies within Charted Space.
- It lies on the coreward boundary of the Great Rift.
- It was formerly known as Far Reach Subsector.
Description (Specifications)
Ftyeeta Subsector is an unpopulated wilderness that rarely sees visitors.
- The resources of the subsector are completely untapped.
Astrographic Features & Trade Routes: 1105
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Ftyeeta Subsector:
- The subsector is a low stellar density region lying adjacent to a rift density region.
- The brightest star is the red giant primary of the Sarekis system.
- No trade routes are noted as crossing the region.
Stellar Distribution
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Ftyeeta Subsector.
- 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.
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map).
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
Two rift regions lie within the Subsector: the Great Rift and the False Rift.
- The Great Rift occupies the rimward half of the subsector.
- It extends to rimward for around 60 parsecs.
- Its rimward edge forms a natural boundary to the Aslan Hierate.
The False Rift lies along the coreward edge of the subsector.
- As a rule a rift must cover ten or more contiguous hexes and have a depth of at least three hexes to qualify as a distinct astrographic feature.
- The False Rift, as the name implies, covers only eight hexes, technically disqualifying it from inclusion.
- The rift has traditionally been included in astrogation charts: this work seeks to continue that long tradition.

(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)
Locally at least, a rift is an astrographic concept based on Jump Drive performance.
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.
