Notes (2007)[edit]

The auto world-list shows a world in a legal position, but with a different name than what's given here. Namely, Nuaimy (Zarushagaar 3224), which is given as "Womslete" here. The source here leads directly to a subsector listing which this is obviously a direct copy of. The Nuaimy entry just gives an author, but not where it appeared, or a link to a website. I'd just change the name here to match what we've got, but am a little nervous of a future Library conflict. And I'd feel better if we could trace the source a little better. Any thoughts?

The writeup for Nuaimy comes from Greg Videl and the HIWG documents. Greg served as the Sector Analyst for the Zarushagaar Sector and wrote more than a dozen document regarding the sector's history, background, world and library entries, etc. The documents claim that Greg produced a spreadsheet with the complete UPW sector data, but it is not in the document collection I have access to. Every other reference to Zarushagaar has Womslete in that position.

I'd really prefer that Greg's documents be the sources of the Zarushagaar sector library data mostly because I feel the HIWG/BARD/RICE form a third tier of canon material (in theory it's been reviewed and edited).
But my research shows that there may be another source (say an issue of Traveller's Digest or another fan magazine) with a writeup of this subsector. I found copies of the sector data file (sec) which has only the high population worlds named (as the Sunbane sources), but other version have all the worlds in the subsector named.
