Trasfalca Subsector is Subsector M of Theta Borealis Sector.
- It lies within Charted Space.
- On older surveys it may be referred to as the Trasfalca Quadrant.
Description (Specifications)
Jauhaux Subsector is a settled region on the frontier of Balkanized Space.
- Some worlds have been settled for millennia.
- The resources of the subsector are being exploited.
Astrographic Features & Trade Routes
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined:
- Most of the subsector is a standard stellar density region.
- It lies on the coreward edge of the Great Rift.
- The brightest star is the unstable red bright giant Zeta Borealis.
- It lies on the Korsumug Main.
Stellar Distribution
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Trasfalga 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
One rift area lies within the subsector: the coreward edge of the Great Rift.

(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 subsector forms part of the Borealis Group, a gigantic, broadly spherical cluster of stars centered on Theta Borealis Sector.
- It is a distinctive, extremely bright feature that can be easily observed from all across Charted Space.
- It is more than 40 parsecs in diameter.
- It contains an unusually high number of giant stars.
- It is the density of giant stars within the region, rather than their individual brightness, that makes the feature so prominent.
The night-time skies of all of the worlds across the region are studded with a panoply of colorful, intensely bright stars.
- Some are so bright that they can be clearly seen from planetary surfaces during daylight hours.
- The brightest is Theta Borealis, an unstable, violent, blue-white bright supergiant with a luminosity of around 73,000 sols.
- Other extremely bright stars within the cluster include Sigma Borealis, Tau Borealis, Epsilon Borealis, Mu Borealis, and Kappa Borealis.
- While the cluster contains many extremely luminous giant stars, Theta B is exponentially brighter than any of the others.
Chains of giant stars trail out from the cluster into many of the surrounding sectors.
- Trasfalca Subsector lies to spinward-rimward of the clusters core, forming part of a long outlying trail of giant stars.

Subsector Summary: 1105
Trasfalca, subsector M of Theta Borealis, contains 20 worlds with an estimated combined population of 129 billion, a per capita income of Cr4,717, and a total economy of BCr608,556. These worlds originate an interstellar trade of BCr174 through 19 starports (6 Class A, 4 Class B, 8 Class C, 1 Class D) employing 21,135 people. Driving this interstellar trade are one Agricultural (Ag) world, one Non-Agricultural (Na) world, one Pre-Agricultural (Pa) world, two Pre-Industrial (Pi) worlds, one Rich (Ri) world, and two Industrial (In) worlds. The governments in Trasfalca maintain one Naval base. The average technology level is 9 (with most between 7 and 11). The highest technology level is 13 at Shief (Theta Borealis 0435) and Aster (Theta Borealis 0538).
Trasfalca, subsector M of Theta Borealis, contains 33 stars and 184 identified planets; 12 monostellar systems, five binary systems, two trinary systems, and one system with four or more stars. 11 of the 20 systems (55%) have native gas giants. There are no Asteroid (As) belts, four Desert (De) worlds, two Garden (Ga) worlds, two Ice-capped (Ic) worlds, four Poor (Po) worlds, two Vacuum (Va) worlds, and one Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) world.
Trasfalca has an estimated population of 129 billion distributed across five High population (Hi) worlds, no Moderate population (Ph) worlds, seven Non-industrial (Ni) worlds, five Low population (Lo) worlds, and no Barren (Ba) worlds. The highest population worlds are Obaroth (Theta Borealis 0434) and Quper (Theta Borealis 0537). The population consists primarily of 1 sophont group.
