The Zhodani Base

The biggest problem with this planet is that has TL-G and a population of zero. In the maps here at the Zhodani Base that uses data from Galactic, the population has been modified to reflect the situation a few years later. But in the original source (AM-3 Vargr) the UWP is:

0439 A000002-G     Lo nIn As   220Va  K8 V  M7 D

Okay, so we got 2 Vargrs running a class A starport at TL-G. That seems a bit unlikely… It might be that they have lots of robots running the starport and the TL-G production facilities. Where did all those TL-G robots come from?

Another idea is that the only thing they produce at their asteroid base is coffee, and that they once visited Darrian and bought an old coffee machine. When the Impie Scouts visited Aek Elakfough they noticed that the only thing produced was coffee from a TL-G coffee machine. So these scouts followed their scout protocol and noted that this was indeed a TL-G world… They also noted that the two Vargrs were engineers and could (if they wanted to) overhaul starships on their asteroid base. Voila, it must be a class A starport…

Another problem with TL-G for Vargrs are that on page 29 in AM3, the maximum TL for Vargr is F. But on the other hand, that is the same page that have a table for Aslan Morale.

Roger Malmstein has also tried to answer the questions about Aek Elakfough and has written a document about it.

I have looked at three more subsectors from the Oolite Universe.  The Iron Stars is subsector N. This subsectors have lots of industrial worlds.

You might recognize this subsector? I have tried to make it more travelleresque. Please comment if You have any ideas on how to improve this.

Map made using Traveller Map Post Function.

Patron: Activist, Reporter, Agent
Required Skills: none
Required Equipment: long-jumping starship

Players’ Information:
In the local starport (in imperial space in the Spinward Marches) the group sees some activists handing out leaflets. The group will be given one by a young girl, and they see that the activists work for a sophonts rights movement. The leaflet notes some minority races that are mistreated in the Spinward Marches. (The Chirpers at Vanejen, The Llellewyololy at Junidy, and the Clotho at Cronor.)

Later that day, the group will be contacted, (unless they have already called the com-number at the leaflet) by a woman that appear to be in her mid 30’s. She says that since the group has shown some interest in sophonts rights and since they have a starship, they might be able to help. The woman needs transportation to Cronor, to visit the Clotho enclave there. At Cronor, she will document the treatment of the Clotho by the Zhodani. She will need 2 tons of cargo initially, and then for the group to pick up a 1 ton cargo at the Jewell system once a month. At these monthly visits, the group will the get an opportunity to help her with some of the documentation work. She will stay at Cronor for 6 months. Since the sophonts rights movement have limited resources, she first ask if the group can help her for free. She will not offer more that standard medium passage and standard cargo fees. If pressed she says, “that the border trade should give the group enough compensation anyway, and remember that You get to work for a good cause”.

I just wanted to make You aware of the very nice rendering of a SubSector that “Ran” has posted on the CotI Boards.

Just look at the detail in each hex!

This 2300AD map that Anders has made was quite cool. I think I have to buy the new version (2320AD) of the game when there is a dead tree version.

Joshua Bell at the Traveller Map site and his wife has made the coolest easter eggs. You just have to check it out!

A really cool web-based, scrollable and zoomable starmap can be found here.

Sector maps for Foreven sector, produced using “Traveller Universe” can now be found in the Foreven Galactic Database.

More about the program, “Traveller Universe” can be found here.

Daryl Frewing has updated the Hadji and Hanstone Sectors and also produced TNE data.

This has now been uploaded to the Space Atlas.

Thank You Daryl.
