Theta Aurigae Subsector is subsector N of Aldebaran Sector.

Description (Specifications)

The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Theta Aurigae Subsector:

Astrographic Features

The subsector is a generally unremarkable area lying on the rimward border of the Solomani Confederation.

  • It is a relatively low stellar density region.
  • The brightest star is the red bright giant primary of the Margate system.

Stellar Distribution

A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Theta Aurigae 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.

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.

The Solomani Confederation claims the coreward rim of Theta Aurigae, but almost the entire subsector population is concentrated on non-aligned worlds outside their official border.

Solomani expansion here ran into a number of problems, reflected in the names applied to many local systems. Sour, Desolate, Forlorn and others collectively tell a story. The fact that one of the two Confederation systems in the subsector is a prison camp while the other has only 600 people despite an A-class port and a garden world is also illustrative of the general disregard for this subsector.

Theta Aurigae itself, while a notable star, is -- perhaps fittingly -- not a system of much interest.

Subsector Summary: 1105

Theta Aurigae, subsector N of Aldebaran, contains 15 worlds with an estimated combined population of 11 billion, a per capita income of Cr3,443, and a total economy of BCr37,931. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr20 through 12 starports (4 Class A, 3 Class B, 4 Class C, 1 Class D) employing 5,100 people. Driving this interstellar trade are no Agricultural (Ag) worlds, no Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, no Pre-Agricultural (Pa) worlds, no Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, two Rich (Ri) worlds, and one Industrial (In) world. The governments in Theta Aurigae maintain one Naval base and one Military base. The average technology level is 6 (with most between 3 and 10). The highest technology level is 11 at Bowerbank (Aldebaran 0939).

Theta Aurigae, subsector N of Aldebaran, contains 26 stars and 148 identified planets; five monostellar systems, nine binary systems, one trinary system, and no systems with four or more stars. 12 of the 15 systems (80%) have native gas giants. There are one Asteroid (As) belt, no Desert (De) worlds, two Garden (Ga) worlds, no Ice-capped (Ic) worlds, four Poor (Po) worlds, two Vacuum (Va) worlds, and no Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) worlds.

Theta Aurigae has an estimated population of 11 billion distributed across two High population (Hi) worlds, no Moderate population (Ph) worlds, five Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, four Low population (Lo) worlds, and three Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population world is Indravati (Aldebaran 1233). The population consists primarily of 1 sophont group.

Non-Aligned

There are 11 Non-Aligned worlds in Theta Aurigae with an estimated combined population of 11 billion.

Solomani Confederation

The Solomani Confederation has jurisdiction over two worlds in the subsector with an estimated combined population of less than 1 million, a per capita income of Cr0, and a total economy of BCr0. Driving this economy are no Agricultural (Ag) worlds, no Non-Agricultural (Na) worlds, no Pre-Agricultural (Pa) worlds, no Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, no Rich (Ri) worlds, and no Industrial (In) worlds.

Non-Aligned, unclaimed

There are two Non-Aligned unclaimed worlds in Theta Aurigae with an estimated combined population of less than 1 million.
