I've read a lot of comments about errors in Spinward Marches Campaign... what changes from 1105 to 1117 are missing from Spinward Marches Campaign?
 
Well, I really should have put "Imperial Encyclopedia" instead of Spinward Marches Campaign. Especially since the SMC allegiances are messed up.

So, start over, with Imperial Encyclopedia. What 1105 to 1117 events are missing from the data in IE?

Border and alligence changes I would guess.
updates for post war Naval postings and perhaps some added commentary on Imperial ground units
Relief effort data on ravaged worlds(IIR: Emerald and Efate)

Perhaps economic considerations due to the altered frieght shipping now that large amounts of cargo might be routed to zones recovering from the war.

it dosn;t mention the whole fifth frontier war!

Mongoose traveller's spinward marches omits the entire fifth frontier war. so now you can have fun running your players through it......

I did not see them as "omitting" it so much as they have gone back to before it and will re-present it in coming products.
MInd you, I could be completely wrong and they could go another way entirely.

But if I am correct in recalling, MGT is currently in 1105 and the FFW really did not begin in ernest until Zho forces moved into the Ruie System enroute the siege of the Regina system in 1107.

Whatever the units that were spotted in the Ruie System around 179-1107[*] were, they weren't a full battle fleet (despite being reported as such), and they weren't on their way to Regina. They weren't big enough to rate a mention in the writeup of the war in The Spinward Marches Campaign, and Regina was never besieged by the Zhodani[**].

[*] Report reached Regina on 186-1107, so the report must have left the Ruie System somewhere around 179-1107.

[**] The only canonical evidence of Zhodani at Regina was a TNS newsbrief about a press conference that was interrupted by a Zhodani bombardment, and that could have been a misunderstanding or a bad joke on the part of the reporter.​
