Good idea.
There's an easy explanation for that
The UPP's are only updated every time the IISS conducts a comprehensive survey, which, according to The Imperial Fringe Introductory Adventure, occurs every twenty years. That adventure was dated as 1100, so the next one isn't due to start until 1120 and takes about 4 years to complete.
(This could even help explain Regina's sudden TL change, the PC's typo
)

Small problem with that - the jump limit is a sphere around the massive object. Where do you put the "Farport"? Ships coming from the other side of the object are going to have even further to travel to reach it.Originally posted by TheEngineer:
I never regarded that as a problem.
Just think of a remote spaceport/trading post at the jump limit. Oversea ships dont anker at the local Safeway supermarket, too
No, I don't. It's bad enough having to worry about that sort of thing in real life, I can't imagine how anyone would possibly want to do it in a roleplaying game tooHe, he. Constantine really does not like economics (in Traveller)

First, MT was supposed to be a new beginning. If they were going to make the unprecidented change to the allegiances, they could have at least tried to make the UWPs match it. The UWPs for MT were never portrayed as the survey data, but were the "current state" data for MT.
Second, Regina is a bad example. If the MT data was still the survey data, then it should still have a TL of A. The fact that it had a TL of C means that they were (obstensibly) trying to update the data to "current state". But they didn't.
I freely admit this is not a big deal. I was just pointing it out as another one of those "oops" things. Quite frankly, I am very happy that they didn't update the UWPs. The way they did it allows me to get a good set of 1112 data that I am compiling.

Much ado has been made of the Aslan invasions. I had always thought the Aslan invasions more akin to the Japanese buyouts on the Pacific Coast of North & South America. This used to cause great panic during the 1980s and early 1990s (until the Japanese economy went belly-up).
The Vargr are akin to invasion of the undesirables during the disorder that comes from any social system in the form of collapse.
Therefore, it was not so much an invasion but a percieved invasion. The Aslan were naturally better organized as they formed a solid bloc with a traditional (although, unofficial backing of the Aslan government) right to claim land moved into the Rich worlds of Deneb. However, one should not assume by buying land that they would automatically be co-opted into any system. The Aslan have their own way of doing things and would likely remain as an isolated autarkic island waiting to link up with other Aslan dispora.
As to the issue of Stephon's assassination, I think everyone is forgetting who was the Emperor's Guard...it was the Illesh Guard. As to all the high tech gadgets that protect the Emperor...surely, the home guard could disable them also when admitting an Archduke and loyal friend...I think it would not be kosher to insist on full security.
