Aldebaran Revisited

[ShawnDriscoll]

Do you download everything or just Official + InReview + UnReviewed OTU? And are you reading allegiances from sector metadata or from the systems directly? Can you give me an example of a 2-char Zh?

Thanks!

I copy/paste raw data from each sector as I go, or as needed. The Stiatlchepr sector is one that hasn't been breathed over yet by the sector survey.

Yes, I see - and that sector is OTU, for placement, but not Official. Do you know if it is the intention that all Official OTU will have four character Allegiances?

That is pretty cool and I'll drop him a line. I suspect his system locations don't match the canonical DGP dotmap, which was "forbidden canon" for a while. But if he's interested, I would be glad to fold in add much as I can. I really scoured the GURPS sources for any trace of his version.

Might be some way to stitch them together.

Yes. As sectors are brought into the T5SS review process the polities get reviewed and assigned new codes (if necessary). It should be the case that all InReview/Official sectors have only 4 character codes. T5SS codes are tracked on the list.

The subsector names I came up with:

• A - Euxene
• B - Aldebaran
• C - Wovoka
• D - Firdausi
• E - Star Bridge
• F - Sephi Hydra
• G - Quesada
• H - Kursa
• I - The Barrens
• J - Epsilon Tauri
• K - Elnath
• L - République
• M - Taurea
• N - Theta Aurigae
• O - Narmada
• P – Hesperia

I just noticed that Jo Grant has names for twelve of the subsectors on his CORE site:

And BeRKA has all of them named:
