http://www.travellermap.com - Hey, when did the Traveller Map move to GURPS?
My favourite of those was Querion, because of the independents. Nicely poised between the Zhodani, Darrians, Sword Worlders and Imperials.

Obviously I have a considerable fondness for the Sword Worlds, but I find that Regina is the subsector where most of my adventures are laid -- by a sizable margin. The reason is partly that it's a subsector about which a lot of material already exists, but that can't be the only reason, since there's also a geat deal of information available about Aramis and the Sword Worlds -- probably more than about Regina.
All I can really say is that when I get an idea for a new adventure, four times out of five there's some place in Regina that seems like a good place to put it.

Regina. It's home 
The first Traveller book I bought (rather than borrowing) was the hard-cover The Traveller Book. And it had a few included adventures set in Regina ss and a map of Regina ss. So naturally my gaming/reffing started there by default when it was OTU. At least until my next purchase, The Spinward Marches Campaign which opened up the whole sector. Still generally gravitated to Regina though. Like I said, it's home
From a practical point it's got most of what one (me anyway) wants from the OTU. A stable reasonable tech base for gear and ships, close to an alien threat (the Zho), and "frontier" worlds for adventures off the beaten path. And plenty of political intrigue if that's your bent.

You're welcome BeRKA (seemed a logical tie, I'm sure you'd have done it soon)

Vilis - Federation of Arden and the skulduggery which goes on there, Garda-Villis with it's insurrection problem, and the Swordies next door.

Oh, right. I thought it used to be CT-era, but my memory may be failing me.

I opted for Jewell because there is so much scope for adventure.
The Imp-Zho antaganism has already been mentioned.
Imp vs Imp politics - the only Imperial subsector without its own duke, that just won't do.
A completely barren size 7 world - 871-438 E700000 0 ...

Although not stated explicitly in any material prior to GT, it's pretty well implied that there is no duke of Aramis (The high noble of the subsector capital is a marquis) and Frenzie doesn't have enough of a population to make a credible duchy. If you accept GT:Nobles as evidence, there are no dukes of Vilis, Jewell, Frenzie, or Aramis (Nor of Five Sisters, of course).

Hi,
my original CT campaign was centred on Vilis back in the day, it has everything:
Zhodani to the left,
Sword Worlds to the bottom,
Independant worlds
Red and amber zones
and my patron character was margrave of tanoose (aka Garda Vilis) a revolting world near the border, I loved it so much I still use his name instead of my own!
I'd also look at 5 sisters and distict 268, but you didn't give those options
Regards
david

Isn't Aramis rather safe by that statement? Your only worries are Vargr raiders and pirates, not exactly big boys.
Agree that Quar must be the least wanted assignment after Flammarion though...

Great. Now that tune is stuck in my head.
Almost begs to be done
