Take map, mount on corkboard. Affix corkboard to wall. Take dart. Throw at corkboard. Viola! (click sound). Next sector.

There's no need for that, it's alright.
We DO NOT do that. Move them, perhaps, but delete? Not unless they're spam, and then we ban the spammer.
Natural topic drift is not a moderation issue.

(Addressing this part of the post)
Actually, that'd be difficult/strange, since the area of space is a sort of ring with the hole of Charted Space. (space is of course practically infinite, but the relevant areas at the moment are ring-shaped)
What are your aspirations? Regarding the areas outside the Imperium with only unofficial data...
There are holes in remote areas. Most of K'kree and Hiver space is unmapped. Most of Aslan and Vargr space had only placeholder maps. Many sectors have been detailed but the work is considered obsolete.
And just filling in gaps isn't as useful as diving into exquisite detail, possibly with the aim of publishing something licensed.

Each of the states in Amderstun has some backstory.
Also, I have developed some more detail for the Orion OB1 region, but I'm not sure whether there's much interest in that.
I shall now write down/communicate some of the backstory. I will likely split this up into multiple posts.
Dysprosuk - A pocket empire populated by a vaguely Hiver-like species (the Dysprosuk), with neutral to good relations with the other states.
The Rim Reach - The fringes of a larger state based in the adjacent Rim Reach Sector. I might expand on this more in a later post.
Alduwai states - A group of Solomani states with sets of "themes", and good technology.
Amderstun Empire - The "central" state of the sector. The residents are of mixed Vilani and Solomani descent. It was formed quite soon after the Ilelish Rebellion by a man known as Lord Amderstun, who gathered dissidents (opposed to the Imperial policies) in the area and then trekked rimward with them, to set up a state far enough away from the Imperium to be free of its corruption, but close enough to be able to aid dissidents within it. The group travelled through the Solomani Confederation (which aided them), and set up their state in the previously sparsely-populated sector. Four worlds within the state have TL-16, and non-Imperial life-extension technology has been able to keep Lord Amderstun and a number of other important figures alive (basically biologically immortal). Many of the worlds have quite extremist governments, and the state has drawn animosity from (logically) the Third Imperium and several local states.
Chromirim Alliance - An Imperial-aligned Human state which has waged numerous with the Amderstun Empire.
The Warzone - A region roughly a subsector in size filled with dangerous worlds with poisonous or even radioactive atmosphere; this was caused/created by warfare between the Chromirim Alliance and the Amderstun Empire (like a small version of the K'kree-G'naak belt).
Galizon Defence District - A polity set up to protect Galizon and nearby worlds from the Amderstun Empire and related warfare.
Ancient Worlds of Iminorrg - A grouping of generally low-tech, tribal worlds with possible Ancient (or even M'norr) influences.
Followers of the True Lords - A pocket empire of ultra-religious, dangerous worlds (with numerous past genocides, as well as current slavery and corruption), with reasonably good relations with the Amderstun Empire.

I've published data for the E and F subsectors of Hfiywitir Sector (the Etra subsectors) at Explorerbase. This was based on Joshua Bell's older, randomly-generated data, but was manually reviewed by me. It's also in the new Traveller 5 Second Survey data format, for added convenience and to limit the need for further review/vetting.
