When I received a Barony for assisting the Emperor with a classified project (otherwise known as wishing Marc Miller a happy birthday, which as we all know is very well deserved), I could not resist taking up residence on my home planet of Cyan (even though I have family on Falkenberg here in the Trojan Reaches, their planet does not yet acknowledge the rule of the Imperium). I shall write a report on the planet Baron Cyan 2102 Pax Rulin/Trojan Reaches, C4689B9-B W Hi 510 3I, as soon as I am able.

If you have a subscription to JTAS Online, you should take a look at my writeup of the Outrim Frontier in the Year 400 (http://jtas.sjgames.com/login/article.cgi?953). There's some information about Cyan's early history that may interest you.
In case you don't have a subscription, I'll extract the relevant information for you here:
Cyan's UWP in 400:
Cyan 2102 D468877-6 Ri A 610 Na
Library data about Cyan (anno 400, natch):
Cyan (Trojan Reach 2102, D468877-6): Independent world in Subsector C of the Trojan Reach. Cyan is the homeworld of two minor non-human races, the Seli and the Dirgi. The two races live in a symbiotic relationship that has not yet been studied in any detail. The relationship appears to be that of equal partners, with the Seli providing great strength and endurance and the Dirgi providing delicate motor skills and multiple limbs. Seli-and-Dirgi pairs make great foot soldiers, the Seli carrying large, powerful weapons and the Dirgi operating them with impressive skill.
Cyan was forced to join the Sindalian Empire in -1732. The empire deliberately kept its technology too low to build space- and starships. When the empire fell, life on Cyan went on pretty much as before until recontacted by traders from Bellion around 100, except that the Humans marooned there turned into second-class citizens.
During the recent Bellion-Perrior conflicts, the nations of Cyan traded indiscriminately with both sides and were invaded several times by expeditionary forces from both sides, generating considerable resentment towards Humans, which makes Cyan a dangerous place for Humans to visit.
Additional information about Cyan (from a campaign suggestion):
Cyan has its share of banana states, but humans are second-class citizens, so human adventurers will be operating under a handicap there.
Hope you'll find that useful,
Cheers,
Hans
Sure it is. In 1105. But in 400 most of Glisten wasn't Imperial yet (only a small cluster of worlds centered on New Rome), much less Pax Rulin. In fact, back then Glisten was called District 214[*] and Pax Rulin was called Subsector C of the Trojan Reach. Cyan becomes Imperial some time between 400 and 500 (I think).

[*] According to my article. It's not canon. (Yet
)You know what...
Hans, I'm sorry to decide to disregard your assistance, but I've decided that Cyan is pretty much your world, so I'm switching my landgrab to Kiikigulii/Sakhag/Antares.

If anyone has any references for Antares sector I'd be appreciative, but don't expect too much attention to it :devil: .
Would a moderator please edit the title to read "Landgrab Kiikigulii/Antares," please (keep in mind the taking out the comma - it's only in the quotes for the following of grammar rules)?

Any sources which document the settlement and history of Antares Sector.
What, 0501's your barony? Maybe we can have a trade war!:devil:
I guess you could say so. I kind of "discovered" it. It's kind of a low-tech dustball, tho. It has a scout base, but a D starport, so given its location I may make it a Longbow station.
As to the sector itself, I did some research into this as well, as I have an embryonic setting developing around Gaakish. There isn't a whole hell of a lot - a few articles in Challenge Rebellion era, and some throwaway lines in the Milieu 0 sourcebooks of T4.

Now, according to the Zhodani Base maps, 0501 Antares is an empty hex.
But which Challenge articles? I'd like to see them, or know what they are so I can look for them.

Not according to Atlas of the Imperium.
It looks like there is stuff in 69 & 71. There may be more, but I don't have 68 or 74...

Ah, clever of you, citing a reference which I do not have!
These are Megatraveller magazines, right?
My (incomplete and unreleased) Traveller canon web site could be handy in finding out what is out there for the sector.
