Yup.
Big Bad Animals of Traveller and Furry Friends
I like it. A lot of the mags had animals in them... does the wikia have an animal list with sources?

I have the 2008 pdf from the Far Future Enterprises website with all the blank hexes and a very few worlds detailed. The full UWPs of all worlds in Foreven on travellermap, are they just someone's interpretation of the PDF material and perhaps not canon or official? Has the policy for the Foreven Sector and its worlds changed? I ask because of, as they say, IMTU, I rewrite all my custom data to conform to OTU when something licensed/approved for Traveller and the OTU comes out. Then I translate to the other game systems I track worlds on...If they are official, I have a lot of work to do...
In the SEC file, this is given as the source of the data:
# Author: GypsyComet, Dylan Lee and BeRKA
# Publisher: [Referee's Preserve]
# Source: The Zhodani Base
# Ref: http://www.zho.berka.com/data/foreven/
As far as I understood it, the Foreven sector was something Far Future Enterprises made to allow for referee's to build their own campaign in without the documented information in the Traveller adventures and rules that cover the Spinward Marches. It gives you some free range, but still has the elements of canon in it. Here is the page to the FFE info on the region from their site.

As you can see, the Zhodani have a strong presence and the Imperials are making inroads. I think it is far enough outside the ordinary and more talked about standard OTU that you can do a lot with it, but I still (personally) consider it canon since it is attached to the Imperium and part of the official history.
MTU dates back to when it started as a subsector way back in '77 before anything was out about the OTU other than hints in the LBBs. Like how the psionics are persecuted - I couldn't figure why unless it was because people were just afraid of them for some Village of The Damned reason so that was the rational I adopted IMTU. Years later the info on the Zhodani made it more clear but I stuck to my reasons since neither the Zho, nor anyone else in the OTU, exists IMTU.
So I dunno if I'll actually name worlds in the Foreven in this animal supplement or not, they might be places in the Marches since there isn't any reason for them not to be. The two adventures I'm including would likewise be fine in the Marches (since I'll save the Chamax thing for a book on its own), and that would make them more appealing to more players that way. I just have to look over the charts and see where.
