Akhorgh Subsector is Subsector B of Fa Dzaets Sector.
- It lies within Charted Space.
- It is part of the Vargr Extents.
Description / Specifications[edit]
Akhorgh Subsector is a region that has seen millennia of settlement by Vargr.
- The resources of the subsector are being exploited.
Astrographic Features & Trade Routes[edit]
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Akhorgh Subsector:
- The subsector is a standard stellar density region.
- The brightest star is the turbulent red bright giant primary of the Tosku system.
Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Akhorgh 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[edit]
One rift area lies within the subsector: the Akhorgh Gap.
- The Gap lies along the rimward edge of the subsector.

Locally at least, a rift is an astrographic concept based on Jump Drive performance.
The boundaries of rifts were established centuries ago, when the highest commonly encountered tech level was TL–12.
- This level of technology allowed the routine use of up to Jump-3 drives.
- Areas that couldn't be crossed by Jump-3-capable vessels were denoted as rifts.
This traditional definition of rift regions remains in use today: while modern high performance starships can easily cross them, most commercial vessels continue to utilize Jump-3 or less drives. Because of this most traffic is concentrated within higher stellar density regions, and as such the classic definition and boundaries of rift regions remains relevant.
World Listing[edit]
AAB library archives contain expanded data about the following systems:
- The primary source material for all data is Traveller Map.
- Other sources may contain contradictory or incorrect information.
Note that some Second Survey data, though only 40 years old, is likely to be out of date.
- Data is occasionally updated as new information becomes available.
- Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.
- Verified updated data is constantly sought.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Akhorgh Subsector has been settled and controlled by the Vargr for millennia. Due to its relative proximity to Lair, the Vargr homeworld, exploration and settlement within the region began within a century of the Vargr discovering jump technology.
The entire subsector was under the dominion of the Empire of Varroerth, the largest and oldest polity within the Vargr Extents. The Akhorgh Seperate broke away from the Empire, becoming a separate but fractious polity.
