Lisqitama Subsector is Subsector H of Theron Sector.
- It lies within Charted Space.
- It is a wild and remote wilderness.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
Lisqitama Subsector is an undeveloped backwater region that has almost no settlement and sees few visitors.
- The resources of the subsector are for the most part untapped.
Astrographic Features & Trade Routes: 1105[edit]
The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Lisqitama Subsector:
- The subsector is a lower stellar density region.
- The brightest star is the blue-white subgiant primary of the Lisqitama system.
- There are multiple rift regions 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 Lisqitama 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]
Three major rift areas lie within the subsector: the Archers Drift, the Joseph Reach and the Idella Rift proper.
- The Archers Drift, a named part of the Hunter Divide, dominates much of the center of the subsector.
- The Joseph Reach lies to rimward.
- The Drift is a named part of the Hunter Divide, a major region of the Idella Rift.
- The Joseph Reach is considered a part of the Divide.
- The Idella Rift projects into the coreward edge of the subsector.

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[edit]
The Borealis Group can be seen as a bright, dense, noticeable grouping of stars in the skies to spinward.
- It is a huge cluster of stars centered on the supergiant Theta Borealis.
- It is a distinctive astrographic feature that can be observed from all across Charted Space.
World Listing: 1105[edit]
Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds lying within Lisqitama 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.
