UWP Size Code "D"

[Jeff M. Hopper]

OK, is the size code "D" for Debris considered official?

I'm asking because the only place I've seen it is the Traveller wiki but it does have a definite use in mapping. It states that it is non-canon, but it makes sense to have it around (in particular for calibration points).

Seen in these locations:

No. T5, p. 433, lists size code D as "13,000 miles 20,800 km"
In fact, it lists to size F.

On page 437, it lists size codes L-X; L is "20,000 miles"; above L, it's no longer linear. (G,H,J,K can be presumed to be 16,000, 17,000, 18,000, and 19,000 miles, remembering eHex doesn't use I nor O.) M-T are +10,000 miles per letter.

So, the T5 scale can be said to be:

Code	diameter	Citation
0	Asteroid Belt	p 433
1	1,000 miles	p 433
2	2,000 miles	p 433
3	3.000 miles	p 433
4	4,000 miles	p 433
5	5,000 miles	p 433
6	6,000 miles	p 433
7	7,000 miles	p 433
8	8,000 miles	p 433
9	9,000 miles	p 433
A	10,000 miles	p 433
B	11,000 miles	p 433
C	12,000 miles	p 433
D	13,000 miles	p 433
E	14,000 miles	p 433
F	15,000 miles	p 433
G	16,000 miles	implied
H	17,000 miles	implied
J	18,000 miles	implied
K	19,000 miles	implied
L	20,000 miles	p. 437
M	30,000 miles	p. 437
N	40,000 miles	p. 437
P	50,000 miles	p. 437
Q	60,000 miles	p. 437
R	70,000 miles	p. 437
S	80,000 miles	p. 437
T	90,000 miles	p. 437
U	125,000 miles	p. 437
V	180,000 miles	p. 437
W	220,000 miles	p. 437
X	250,000 miles	p. 437

Dunno what to tell you about "official" or not.

If you might want to be compatible with T5, it would be a conflict; just checked, and T5 has size codes now up to F, in the usual progression, so D = 13,000 miles, 20,800 km.


EDIT: Oh, snap! B-10!

Cool. "D" is not officially Debris. Thank you for the help, guys!
