World Information

[Hilary_155]

I am running a campaign that is starting out in the Khavle Subsector of the Diaspora Sector. I am using two online resources that have maps of these systems, subsector and sector. I was wondering if anyone has seen any more detailed information on any of the systems in the area. Thus far, the party started on Aight and is now on Farm. They are headed to either Muuze or Wake next. I built fairly detailed world descriptions for Aight and Farm based on the online data, and made a start on the worlds Muuze and Wake. I was just curious as to what has been done so far on that area. I am perfectly OK making up my own information for my own campaign, but anything more official that would save me time would be great.

Assuming you are working in the Golden Era, An Astrogator's Guide to Diaspora Sector and Hard Times are not going to be that helpful; the Khavle subsector descriptions are fairly brief and mostly concern Hard Times Era developments. Wake gets a brief mention that it, along with Hike, "are the major repair centers for local shipping, particularly the starships that serve the Khavle Accordment."

Sounds like green fields out there...

writing

I am using the third imperium (Date: 1114). I forget what source used this reference and date. I use GURPS Traveller Interstellar Wars as one of my sources. This date was shortly after the wars had ended. (I am no where near sure of any of these dates, events etc...)

I am fine with either - using existing material or writing my own. I just didn't want to rewrite the map if someone had already worked on it. I try to keep some things consistent. I have no desire to remake the whole galaxy. So using online maps is a massive time saver. And there is both enough data on the worlds to make them usable and enough of the specifics left open to allow GMs to get creative. It is really hard to create in a vacuum. Having a set of data such as the UWP and other data (Some online resourse with Atlas in it's name has system details) as a 'seed' makes a big difference and is a big help.

What I have so far is contained on a google drive account linked to from
a "In My Traveller Universe" thread.

Maybe this will help?

You can zoom in and see the UWPs and click on each world for additional info. This would be canonical for the 1105 era so it should work for your campaign.

Then there's this:

This is dated 1116 so again should be compatible with your campaign. But between the two there's not a lot of actual history or background. Still, could trigger some ideas for you. Hope that helps.

Yes, I use that one plus this:

Your settings for https://travellermap.com are a pink nightmare. I use all black.

GURPS Traveller says it deviates by having the Emperor either assassinated or not assassinated, I can't recall which. But that deviation doesn't (so they way) affect anything much later down the road. I admit I am not super familiar with the traveller universe in terms of history. It doesn't seem to be a big factor in game play for my players.

Having a uniform galactic map is critical, so my players can choose where to go and find the world they go to matching what they expect.
