P.26, Second column, Kafoe.

"Physical Description: Kafoe resemble short-snounted [...]"

Should be "short-snouted"
 
P 28, 1st column, Maskai, end of 1st paragraph

"Standing around 0.5 m high, a typical Maskai is 1-5-2m long."

If meaning between 1,5 and 2,0m long, it should be written "1,5-2m long" to clarify it a bit...
 
P.27, second column, Kahyri, in "Adventures"

"Some will quest to right some wrong or to punish someone who has hurt Kahyri Through dishonorable actions."

"Through" should't be written with a capital "T"
 
p93 under heading Gateway Sector: Gamma Quadrant
second paragraph starts "The Beta quadrant also contains part of the Viyard Concorse and Trindel Confederacy"
Obviously 'Beta' should be 'Gamma' and the 'q' in quadrant should be 'Q' to conform to usage elsewhere.

p93 under heading Worlds of the Gamma Quadrant text starts "Three worlds of the Beta Quadrant are detailed below"
'Beta' changed to 'Gamma' and a full stop at the end of the sentence.
 
p107 Text under"Glimmerdrift Reaches:Beta Quadrant" 3rd paragraph, 2nd sentence "Vessels from as far afield a Granicus..." The 'a' before Granicus should be 'as'.

p107 under 'Mains and Clusters' in the first sentence 'beta quadrant' should be in capitals to retain consistancy.

p107 under 'Worlds of the Beta Quadrant", 'quadrant' should be in capitls to retain consistancy.
 
p112 Under "Glimmerdrift Reaches : Gamma Quadrant" third paragraph contains minor formatting problem.

p117 Under"Worlds of the Delta Quadrant" first sentence 'quadrant' should start with a capital 'Q' to retain consistancy with usage elsewhere.
 
pg1 "(The Traveller's Handbook)" should be "(the Traveller's Handbook)"

pg1 "are also used Through-out," should be "are also used through-out,"

pg1 "standard Traveller practice - Towards" should be "standard Traveller practice - towards"

pg4 "the Vilani around 7500" should be "the Vilani around -7500"

pg4 "Crawling Through space" should be "Crawling through space"

pg5 "pass Through the region" should be "passed through the region"

pg5 Clarification perhaps - document references Ziru Sirka without explanation, later defines it on pg6.

pg6 "able to secure it Through their" should be "able to secure it through their"

pg8 "charted its own path Through the Long Night" should be "charted its own path through the Long Night"

pg9 "assimilated bloodlessly Through a combination" should be "assimilated bloodlessly through a combination"

pg9 "the Julian War of 191-5" should be "the Julian War of 191-195", to be consistent with the previous presentation of year ranges.

pg10 "and the Plavian league were" should be "and the Plavian League were"

pg10 "until a second rising inn 590" should be "until a second rising in 590"

pg10 "as they finally broke Through and" should be "as they finally broke through and"

pg20 "or run Through the post-landing" should be "or run through the post-landing"

pg24 "often travel Through the region" should be "often travel though the region"

pg27 "who hurt Kahyri Through dishonorable" should be "who hurt Kahyri through dishonorable"

pg31 "administered Through the Domain" should be "administered through the Domain"

pg32 "with or Through their local counterparts" should be "with or through their local counterparts"

pg32 "that has not been Through all" should be changed to "that has not been through all"

pg43 "The Run extends Through a corridor" should be "The Run extends through a corridor"

pg46 "960, Through an economic" should be "960, through an economic"

pg80 "obtain weaponry Through smugglers" should be "obtain weaponry through smugglers"

pg80 "office, Through a Chamber" should be "office, through a Chamber"

pg81 "maintains trade links Through Far Portal" should be "maintains trade links through Far Portal"

pg86 "and Through trade coming into" should be "and through trade coming into"

pg97 "El came Through the Long Night" should be "El came through the Long Night"

pg102 "accessible Through deep space refuelling" should be "accessible through deep space refuelling"

pg112 "Sylea Through the administrative" should be "Sylea through the administrative"

pg117 "sweeps it Through Brekienne's" should be "sweeps it through Brekienne's"

pg123 "sweep Through neighboring" should be "sweep through neighboring"

Hope this helps,

Yep. Probably a cut and paste thing that went horribly awry. ;)

I just did a search on Through, matching the case, and detailed the ones that were not appropriate, to make it easier to identify them when correcting the document later.

Along with everyone else, I'm sure, I'll be tackling the rest of the document in pieces, posting what I find here, in the hopes that it helps improve the quality of the final print version. With each set of eyes that goes over it and shares what they find, the print version should become correspondingly better.

Enjoy,
Flynn

P.214, UWP Index...

TUBROYLLUFOT… 2623 L 0203 A674A99-E In 200 Oy M0 V


The name is incomplete even if there`s a lot of blank space to the right of the table...

And related to the UWP Index List:

There should have been a small key for the column name. It took me a while to figure out that SH, SS, SSH, were for Sector Hex, Sub-Sector and Sub-Sector Hex...

The Columnt "Stellar Data" isn`t wide enough to accomodate Trinary systems. their data overlap the "Page" column.

Said "Page" column isn`t used at all. Oversight or unfinished feature that got pulled out?
 
Systematic spelling error:

Maybe it's house style, but I think spelling "throughout" "through-out" throughout the product is incorrect (and Merriam-Webster agrees with me).
 
Most of the Allegiance Code are incomplete/unclear for the UWP Index1 (Ley Sector)

Some can be implied (ie: X as Xx) but others can`t

The UWP lists given right after the Quandrant map seems complete though
 
Both of the following system Stellar Data is incomplete for the Primary.

</font><blockquote>code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">M’nanga Ley Zagrathian 2701 A300644-A Na Ni Va 814 Xx 0 K3 V
Tender Mercy Ley Spearhead 0314 E447210-5 200 IL 2 V A6 D</pre>[/QUOTE]The error is both in the Sector's writup list and the Index at the end
 
P.212

Nikko 0321 I 0301 E764786-9 Ag Ri 820 X M2 V;/.


Stellar data has either some random character added or mistyped.
 
Ok have everything marked that was listed so far. Not sure what the heck happened with 'Through'...

Going through the worlds...
Do you intend to have numerous worlds as asteroids, even though they don't live in a system with a belt?
ie:
</font><blockquote>code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;">
Maissia 0504 A000631-B As 201 Im
Piir Kalaan 0508 E000643-8 As 403 Im</pre>[/QUOTE]neither has a belt...(This is just the first subsector, I haven't finished...Just asking...)
