Gateway Sector Data: MT Journal #4

[marvo]

While going through some of my old stuff I found a complete map and UWP data listing of the Gateway sector.

This is in 'The MegaTraveller Journal #4", dated March 1993.

Can anyone tell me if the 'new' Gateway to Destiny sector data is the same? Or, have there been any error corrections. A quick eye check of the maps and it looks like the stars are in the same place, but the pocket empire borders are slightly different.
I am guessing this is represents a different time period. What year is Gateway to Destiny set in?

It's set in 993 during the Solomani Rim War. I'm not sure if the data is the same. I know the alligences and population figures are most likely very different.

The 993 version was written to be compatible with MTJ4, but about 100 years earlier. You can see trends starting in 993 that come to fruition in the MT era.

The UWP data is not the same. It was regressed by MJD, but yes, the two sectors are merely snapshots of the same region of space at two different periods.

Hope this helps,

Which is sort of a way of re-canonizing the LoT dataset, no?
