Trojan Reach sector stats

[Maitrejeanthierry]

Sorry about the possible cross-post...

I'm about to start a Navy campaign in the Reaches, I'm looking for an excel system listing, ideally using the stats as depicted in Mongoose:Aslan Sourcebook, but MT stats or even CT would be fine too.
Can someone help me?
Many thanks in advance.

I don't know about excel, but...

are probably what I would use.

... shares the same source data as the Mongoose books (the T5 data cleanup).

Save that as a .txt file, optionally open in notepad and delete the header lines and re-save, then open in Excel. When opening, tell Excel it is "fixed width" data rather than delimited, and it will give you UI to select the columns for fields. Make sure none of the fields are imported as numbers (this mostly affects the PBG field).

(I'll add a new API soonish that will give you the data in tab-delimited format.)

Thanks, I'll try this.

The 1982 Ian Livingstone book about RPGs, "Dicing With Dragons", says two volumes of Trojan Reach sector details were published by Games Workshop. I haven't been able to find out much more about them, but GW was an official licensee at the time. Presumably the volumes alsobtied in with Adventure 4 (Leviathan). Is there any info about this version of the sector available?

First I've heard of it. I suspect "published" may be too strong a term. As one data point I just checked WD#35, dated November 1982. Neither the GW nor the Esvedium ads mention anything unfamiliar.

Is it possible that "two volumes of Trojan Reach sector details" really means "two subsectors worth of detail"? Because that corresponds to a portion of the work that GW did for GDW and appeared in Adventure 4: Leviathan. Given that it wasn't even known as "Trojan Reach" at the time (just "Outrim Void") I'm guessing there may be some distortion of the specifics over time.

Would this be the "Aboard the Leviathan" by Marc Miller published in Games Workshops White Dwarf magazine?

I read that in Space Gamer. Did it end up in both?

Verbatim, the book says:

"The Trojan Reach Vol I (BS/GW/A)
Subsector and world statistics for the sector immediately rimward of the Spinward Marches.

" The Trojan Reach Vol II (BS/GW/A)
Detailed information for the referee concerning background history and politics of the sector."

Then follows a brief description for the IISS Ship Files as a third supplement (this one did make it to print, of course). The "BS" identifies it as a " background supplement" and the "A" signifies it is "approved" (for use with Traveller) i.e. licensed.

I haven't seen the "aboard the Leviathan" article, but if it's in WD then I could do, as I have the first 100 issues. Which one would it be in, though?
