Fundibul Subsector is Subsector P of Astron Sector.
- It lies within Charted Space.
- It is a lawless, undeveloped frontier.
Description / Specifications[edit]
Fundibal Subsector is a unpopulated and undeveloped wilderness. Some worlds within the region have never had an intelligent being visit them.
- The resources of the subsector remain entirely untapped.
Astrographic Features & Trade Routes: 1105[edit]
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Fundibul Subsector:
- The subsector is a relatively low stellar density region.
- The brightest star within the subsector is the orange giant primary of Cheb system.
- There is one rift region within the subsector.
- No trade routes are noted as crossing the region.
Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Fundibul 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.
Three Sisters[edit]
Fundibul Subsector is dominated by three huge orange giant stars: these are the primaries of the Cheb, Plith, and Hostrok systems respectively.
- The three stars have come to be the symbol of Astron Sector.
- They are colloquially known as the Three Sisters.
- The three stars lie at the rimward edge of the Astron Voids.
- The white subgiant primary of the Wastrel system, lying to rimward of the sisters, is sometimes referred to as Grandmother.
Borealis Group[edit]
The Three Sisters and Grandmother are part of the Borealis Group, a gigantic, broadly spherical cluster of stars that primarily lies within Theta Borealis Sector.
- The cluster is centered on the supergiant star Theta Borealis.
- It is a distinctive, extremely bright feature that can be easily observed from all across Charted Space.
- Fundibul Subsector lies to coreward-trailing of the clusters core. Its stars form part of a long outlying trail of giant stars.

Rift Regions[edit]
A single rift region lies within the subsector: the Great Astron Void.
- Its lies along the spinward-coreward edge of the subsector: it is a named region of the Astron Voids.
- The Voids are considered to be part of The Gulfs, an extended region of the Idella Rift.

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.
World Listing: 1105[edit]
Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds lying within Fundibul 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.
- Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.
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.
- Verified updated data is constantly sought.
