The Moddell sector included nearly two hundred uninhabited systems, from anonymous red dwarfs to the young blue giants at the heart of the Monsua Nebula. In addition, the sector theoretically extended for nearly a hundred parsecs into Wild Space toward Firrerre and Bakura, territory that included thousands upon thousands of systems.[1]
Hyperspace travel in the little-trafficked Zuma regions was painfully slow and sometimes unsaved but matters were worse in the Moddell: the sector was prattled by hyperspace eddies and sinkholes, and spacers grouse that graveling there is like tiptoeing across an unmapped minefield. Most of the sector's traffic was found on the Houche Run between Annaj (the sector capital) and Vasha; those worlds, along with Vex, Qina, and Kuna's Tooth, made up the Inner Moddell systems. Traffic droped off considerably in the Outer Moddell beyond those systems.[1]
The Moddell sector and the Zuma Region were considered part of the Unknown Regions until the Old Republic's final centuries, and admitted as a freestanding subsector around 50 BBY.[1] The Empire eventually made the Zuma a regional sector and the Moddell sector one of its subsectors.[2]
A few entrepreneurs tried to attract tourists to the Moddell sector, but little came of their efforts; the only industry to gain a foothold in the Moddell since then has been illicit trade in the narcotic Rokna blue.[1]
