Editing Subsector

The [[Subsector]] is a mapping unit in [[Astrography]], an area within a [[Sector]]. 
* Sixteen subsectors form a [[sector]].
* The average density of much of [[Charted Space]] is about 30 to 40 worlds per subsector.
* It is a kind of [[Metric]] mostly used in political astrography.{{Unpublished cite|author= Maksim-Smelchak }}

== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==
The subsector is used by most [[spacefarer]]s and is one of the astrographic measures of naval defense. 

=== Strategic Subsector Defense ===
Many defensive fleets are allocated at the subsector level. Such a [[fleet]] is known as [[Subsector Navy]]. It is considered a basic military formation. They are typically controlled by a [[Subsector Duke]], [[Subsector Duchess]], or [[Saarpuhii]]. Under the system of [[Feudal Confederation]], control of such armed forces is shared by the central government ([[Third Imperium]]) and the local government ([[Subsector Duke]]). Bonds of honor and fealty are the binding factor. Such bonds sometimes fail or break. {{Unpublished cite|author= Maksim-Smelchak }}

=== Subsector Arrangement ===
Subsectors are commonly arranged in the following patterns by [[IISS]] regulation:

=== Subsector Numerical Sequencing ===
Subsectors are noted within a [[Sector]] by their position using the first sixteen letters of the alphabet (A-P).
* A specific numerical sequence is associated with each subsector.

''NOTES:''
* In addition, they are named and may be called by a variety of synonyms for subsector, including province, cluster, or district. 
* {{Imperial}} convention is to assign numbers to [[district]]s (for example, [[District 268 Subsector|District 268]]) which are under Imperial protection pending integration into the Imperium.{{Unpublished cite|author= Maksim-Smelchak }}

== History & Background ([[Dossier]]) ==
The subsector is the most active unit of interstellar commerce and government. Outside of a subsector, the limitations of governance and communications technology significantly limit all but the most high level societal interactions. In a very applied sense, the subsector is the basic community of [[Charted Space]]. The vast majority of [[gentlesophont]]s live their entire lives in just a single subsector.{{Unpublished cite|author= Maksim-Smelchak }}
