K'Kree space for Travellermap.com

Bar'kakr Sector! Even for placeholder data, that's one impressive update rate.

Looking great, I have gone back through some notes I took ages ago, and ...

This is great progress, Nuughe might cause a change to Nooq - are the Inheritors and their Sphereworld canon, or do we wipe them from the map?

Somewhere in Bar'kakr is Ktuuxtlligh (?) - Subsector K? (CT Aliens 2. has it on the map)

Also from the GURPS Aliens 2, there should be a world at Gnaa Xarr'rr (Gzirr!k 1916), where the K'kree/Hiver Treaty was signed - This is missing from the Gzirr!k on Travellermap, which I generated, so feel free to add it. I can't see any further information about it.

GURPS Aliens 2 also mentions "New Beginning", a Human world in annexed by K'kree Kaa G!'kul Sector (no further details)

I am not sure. The sphereworld is not human-habitable, so it wouldn't violate Marc's maxim about them (no inhabitable sphereworlds in Charted Space). However, there is another reason they may not be canonical, and that is the potential copyright issue caused by David L. Pulver adding several alien races (including the Inheritors) to both Traveller and Spacemaster.

I think the same is true for Lithkind, which after a discussion with Joshua B, we didn't put into my Hiver sectors, and added place holders just in case.

And now you know one of the big reasons why the first wave of maps do not include world names or social details. As neglected as it has been, K'kree space still has a bunch of these references hiding across the published works.

And now you know one of the big reasons why the first wave of maps do not include world names or social details. As neglected as it has been, K'kree space still has a bunch of these references hiding across the published works.

There are also named systems in the Hiver CT book as well.

After a long break related to many factors, work on K'kree space has resumed, and two of the three sectors that were still blank in 2016 are now farther along. Ruupiin has basic UWPs in place that are K'kree compliant, and X'kug is fully dotted. Getting X'kug to UWP status is next, and close to done. Then I'll probably move to Gur and Kilong, then Raakaan for a second pass.

The K'kree worlds (in the Two Thousand Worlds) of Luretiir'girr are updated as well.

Something else that might want to be taken into account. The Third Imperium Fanzine include a map of Charted Space in issue 10 that shows several small polities to Trailing of the Two Thousand Worlds. Here is the list from Coreward to Rimward.

Xaagr

1 Polity (About a subsector in size.)

Eekrookrigz

2 Polities (Both smaller than a subsector.)

Uuk

1 Polity (Smaller than a subsector, possibly a detached portion of the Two Thousand Worlds.)

Mighabok

2 Polities (One about a subsector in size, the other smaller than a subsector.)

Here is a direct link to the magazine in question.

The smaller ethnographic map seems to agree with the idea that at least some of those are occupied by K'kree. I've already planted a couple much smaller exile states along that border, but I'll keep that map handy for when I revisit the trailing edge.

Glad to have been of help. I look forward to whatever you come up with...

Kilong continues to drag along, but is mostly named. I mistakenly stripped the ports from my original file, so that's the next step for Kilong.
