Nanfeng Subsector is Subsector J of Canopus Sector.
- It lies within the Solomani Confederation.
Description (Specifications)
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Nanfeng Subsector:
Astrographic Features
The subsector is a generally unremarkable area lying within the Solomani Confederation.
- It is an average stellar density region.
- The brightest star is the blue-white main sequence primary of the Nanfeng system.
Astrographic Features & Trade Routes
The following astrographic features and trade routes can be found within this area:
Stellar Distribution
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Nanfeng 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
The subsector technically contains two rift regions:
- The Gulf of Nanfeng.
- The Nyssa Expanse lies along the subsector's coreward edge.
(Chart sourced from Traveller Map)
Locally at least, a rift is an astrographic and commercial concept based on Jump Drive performance.
- Most commercial vessels typically use Jump Drives capable of Jump-3 or less.
- Areas that cannot be crossed by Jump-3-capable vessels are denoted as rifts.
- Rifts represent a considerable obstacle to interstellar trade and commerce.

- Lamarck Minerals, a corporation with a relatively small core area of operations in the Solomani Rim, but with growing interests in resource extraction and processing throughout the Solomani Sphere.
- Layaefui, an Aslan corporation that specializes in exploration, scouting, and surveying.
- Orion Metallurgy Corporation (OMC), engaged in resource exploration, extraction, and processing throughout the spinward and rimward parts of the Confederation.
- Panstellar, a major transport and logistics corporation.
- Probable Technologies, a scientific research organization involved with both academia and heavy industry, as well as the Confederation military.
- Solomani Maschinenbau (SolMan) AG, a corporation with interests in heavy engineering and starship manufacture throughout the spinward half of the Confederation.
- Solomani Shipping, a major transport and logistics corporation.
