Stellar Distribution
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Noriega 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.
Rift Regions
One rift area lies within the subsector: the Theda-Spin.
- It occupies the trailing part of the subsector.
- It is considered part of a larger void known as the Theda Gap.
- It is part of The Gulfs, a complex of smaller rifts and voids that form part of the Idella Rift.
- The subsector lies on the edge of the Great Rift. It is considered to be the region where the Idella Rift and the Great Rift meet.

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.
