Stellar Distribution
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Yanos 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.

Driving this interstellar trade are three Agricultural (Ag) worlds, one Non-Agricultural (Na) world, one Pre-Agricultural (Pa) world, one Pre-Industrial (Pi) world, three Rich (Ri) worlds, and one Industrial (In) world. The governments in Yanos maintain three Naval bases, and three Military bases. The average technology level is 6 (with most between 3 and 9). The highest technology level is 12 at Alta Minato (Canopus 1203).
Yanos, subsector B of Canopus contains 42 stars and 307 identified planets; 14 monostellar systems, 14 binary systems, no trinary systems, and no systems with four or more stars. 25 of the 28 systems (89%) have native gas giants. There are one Asteroid (As) belt, one Desert (De) world, one Garden (Ga) world, one Ice-capped (Ic) world, two Poor (Po) worlds, five Vacuum (Va) worlds, and one Water (Wa) or Ocean (Oc) world.
