What is the best source of info on sectors?

Looking for info on sectors in the imperium. This would include planetary info and sector maps in a printer friendly format.

It has been a long time since I've played and need to locate a good place to start a campaign.

Just got T20 3 weeks ago and I am itching to get something going...

Please include any links you think might be helpful.

Thanks

Hmmm...I'm in much the same boat. Try going out to Google and using TRAVELLER SECTOR MAP as a search argument, and you may be buried in sector map resources. Note that these are, in varying quantity and quality, maps of sectors, with world names and UWPs but not much detail within.

You could check out the Traveller Store section of this website and pull out the "Journal of the Traveller's Aid Society" reprints, some of which detail worlds to a much finer degree, and will have information about alien races and encounter ideas, as well as some broadly-outlined adventures, to boot!

As a third resource, there are the Adventure series reprints. Some of these are planet-based, and have information about their particular worlds.

Here are some choices for you, of varying quantity/quality/detail:
AB's Atlas of Charted Space

Anthony's Maps Site

Fringe Sector Clickable Map

Interactive Atlas of the Imperium

Sectors at RPGHost

Supplement P03: The Space Atlas

SpinwardMarches.com

Imperial Space Index

In terms of setting for a campaign, one of the obvious ones is the Gateway domain, being developed by QuikLink and soon to be released (or you could get the MegaTraveller "Lords of Thunder" campaign setting and use that).

The Spinward Marches is the MOST developed sector in all of known space, and that makes it easy for a referee to run games there, although you may have to throw away a lot of what has been developed (and/or stop your players researching it in their own time).

Otherwise, I am trying to develop the Julian Protectorate as a possible campaign setting.

Good luck!
 
Thanks will check links. Have looked at a few.

Downloaded "The Linkworlds Cluster" From Travellerrpg and it looks like a good start.
 
Another good source of sector data, of variable quality and canonicity, is to grab a copy of Jim Vassilakos's GALACTIC program - I don't remember the URI offhand, but there is a link to it at Freelance Traveller.

I'm starting my group on the Linkworlds adventure. I'm dropping it into the Spinward Marches, since I already have a lot of info on that sector (I found a copy of GT:BTC on the shelf at a local hobby store a couple months ago). Seems like with a little bit of shuffling, you can drop it in just about anywhere. If the characters (and player interest) last long enough, I plan to continue with "Knightfall" and "Long Way Home", all based in the Marches.

Sorry, I haven't seen those sectors updated. I figure they either got wiped out by the Virus or managed to hold it off. That might be hard though as the Mendan Main reaches pretty much right into the Vilan sector all the way to the Trenchans (it covers 9 sectors), which must make it easier for Virus ships to attack.

I thought maybe that someone else has done it. I guess not, as I have searched over the net and have found plenty of CT data, but no TNE data.

The way I see it so far is this:

The JP survives, mostly. They were hit hard by Virus, but didn't have too much prior damage from the Final War as they were hardly involved in the major fighting. The Asimikigir Confederation was one of the governing bodies that recovered first. They went on an extensive campaign, funded by the Menderes Corporation, to re-contact neighboring systems. Over the 50 years of re-negotiations and fending off Virus fleets, as well as TED's with ships, the Julian Protectorate was refounded, with member states contributing to the defense of the Protectorate from these new threats caused by the "Thrice-Cursed Impies."

The borders have changed, somewhat, as the JP is smaller, but the confederations' economies are growing steadily and new worlds are coming in practically daily. Vargr-dominant confeds changed the most, but, Virus or no Virus, that is to be expected anyway. There are soem problems bubbling.....

1. The Virus: Although disappearing, it's still out there. It reels its ugly head every so often. The remaining strains are particularly nasty (they needed to be to last this long).

2. The Gashiikan Empire: Like a rash in an unmentionable place, they're baaak! taking advantage of the chaos by exterminating as many Vargr worlds as possible. The corward borders are flooding with refugees.

3. The K'kree: This so called Virus is nothing more than a carnivorist's plot to exterminate them all. DEATH TO ALL FLESH-RENDERERS!!!

Ahhh, interesting times, of course.

I am working on the charts now, starting with the Amdukan Sector. I don't know when I will get them finished. They will be in Galactic 2.4 format when done.

What do you think???

Sounds great! Especially the K'kree over-reaction (although they would be hard hit if/when their maintenance bots start getting Virus?).

I'm not really up on TNE, especially it's eventual outcomes. I'd certainly like to see Virus wiped out, or at least relegated to backwaters. It will make recent Third Imperium era artifacts very dodgy, as they would be susceptible to the Virus, but might offer some nice high-tech.
(As an aside, did the Virus end up encouraging tech R&D and therefore a general raising of tech levels?)

The Gashikan's have to stay around, they are the coreward equivalent of the Solomani, except probably nastier (think Iraq/North Korea?).

I'd imagine that lots of worlds would like Star Legion protection, so the JP would definitely be in expansionist mode. The main problem will be worlds that have gone all-Vargr or all-Human and wiped out the other race, and perhaps worlds taken over by the Hhkar?
 
A lot of K'Kree tech however their reliance on robots, was not of imperial computer architecture. Or TL. At TL-10 or less virus has a hard time taking control/ manifesting itself outside of shutting system down. So, the K'Kree could reasonably be back to TL-11 again in no time flat-as the majority of their owrlds were habitable (among the affected races, they have the best choice of worlds for overall race survival).

A vengeful K'Kree, yes, quite plausible. Run with it!
 
Like lots of people (im sure) Im also playing with the sector info
.

Im using Jimv's gal24c as a base (it has -some- xboat route info which seems missing from most other sources).

Ive got some 'fixes' to the data and Im wondering where I should send them. Jimv seems to have a lot of web pages
and no fixed address :-(.

Anyway for those interested, im using python to munge the data
.
