The following astrographic and commercial data has been determined regarding Odzgoegh Subsector:
- The subsector is a low stellar density region.
- The brightest star is the red bright giant primary of the Zaksenrraers system.

- No trade routes cross the region.
Stellar Distribution[edit]
A basic map showing the distribution and size of stars within Odzgoegh 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]
Two rift areas lie within the subsector: the Kfirzin Reach and the Ngathksirz Void.
- The Reach lies within the coreward-trailing corner of the subsector.
- The Void lies along the trailing 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, despite modern high performance starships easily being able to cross them.
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Note that some Second Survey data, though only 40 years old, is likely to be out of date.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.
