The Crucis Margin sector

[PadawanJack]

Greetings gentlebeings,

I'm going to be starting a new Classic Traveller campaign, but I didn't want it to be within the confines of the Third Imperium itself. After some time poking around on the web I think I'm going to set it in the Crucis Margin sector, however, I'm a little confused...

Whose data on the Crucis Margin sector is correct, Judge's Guild or the HIWG? As a rule whose data do y'all use?

Thanks, I'm looking forward to your responces.

Neither is offical canon. The Judges Guild material was decanonized, and the HIWG was never official. I suspect most people don't wander that far out from the Imperium.

My suggestion, pick one and stick with it.

Well, heck, if that's the case, why don't I just make up my own data... Unless the T20 team is going to produce canon information...

Hunter, any 'official' word on the Crucis Margin sector?

Have you noticed that the new CotI webzine-site has a map of Crucis Margin up? I assume this is the new 'official' version, whether or not it matches the HIWG version (possibly) or JG (almost certainly not). Note that the map itself isn't much (sub-Atlas of the Imperium), but clicking on the world icons gives world names and descriptive UWP info. Presumably this will be expanded in future QLI sourcebooks, etc.

Doh!

Sweet, canon stats. All I need now is some blank subsector forms.

Thanks for your assistance Mr. Foster!

The Gateway Domain Source Book will detail a "canon" Crucis Margin, derived from the Atlas.

Releasse? 2-3 months at a rough estimate.

Or on a more devious Referee note, pick both. Keep the one you like for yourself, and give the other to the players. When you come across a difference, call it star charting discrepancies. Could even lead to the characters getting money for reporting the difference to the authorities. He he he, the Referee wheels are turning...
