Aldebaran Subsector, subsector B of Aldebaran Sector, is controlled by the Solomani Confederation and contains the Confederation's capital, Home (Aldebaran 1009).
Description (Specifications)
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding the subsector:
Astrographic Features
The subsector is a generally unremarkable area lying within the Solomani Confederation.
- It is a relatively low stellar density region.
- The brightest star is the orange giant primary of the Aldebaran system.
Stellar Distribution
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Aldebaran 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.
Economic Astrography
Corporations
Corporations and organizations active within the subsector include:
- Panstellar, a major transport and logistics corporation.
- Solar Shipping, a major transport and logistics corporation.
- Transstar, a Solomani megacorporation specializing in transport and logistics.
Trade Routes
Three trade routes, the Aquitaine Cluster, the Dahir Cluster, and the Yalu Cluster lie within the region. High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move along them, carrying huge amounts of goods and commodities between their member worlds.
Less profitable higher jump rating merchant vessels conduct trade and commerce among the region's outlying worlds.
Aquitaine Cluster
The Aquitaine Cluster has eight member systems. It principally lies within Capella Subsector of the Solomani Rim.

Dahir Cluster
The Dahir Cluster has seven member systems.

Yalu Cluster
The Yalu Cluster has six member systems.

Security & Defense
The worlds of the region are patrolled by the Solomani Navy. It defends Confederation territory, protects Confederation interests, suppresses piracy, and ensures interstellar trade and commerce.
- Confederation vessels may demand customs inspections.
- Some systems are defended by local naval forces.
The Solomani Navy operates couriers and packet ships to carry communications and mail within the Confederation. Some of the routes they make use of predate the founding of the Solomani Autonomous Region in the early 8th Century, while others have more modern origins, being established following the Solomani Rim War and Solomani independence.
- Multiple communications routes cross the subsector.
World Listing
Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds lying within Aldebaran Subsector is available.
- The primary source material for all data is Traveller Map.
- Other sources may differ: some elements of the data may be contradictory or incorrect.
- Data is occasionally updated as new information becomes available.
AAB library archives contain expanded data about the following systems:
Note that some Second Survey data, though only 40 years old, may already be out of date.
- Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.
