The primary version of The Vanguard Reaches detailed in the main wiki article is the version produced for Mongoose Traveller, 2nd Edition by Geir Lanesskog.
Meta-History & Background[edit]
The Classic Traveller Paranoia Press Vanguard Reaches book has been declared non-canon (but keep reading).
- The data for the 1991 Online Updates for this non-canon version of the sector is located here: Vanguard Reaches Sector/Paranoia Press.
- The data for the 2017 T5 Atlas of the Imperium: Second Survey version of the sector is located here: Vanguard Reaches Sector/T5SS-Atlas.
- (Note that the T5SS-Atlas pages also include information from the original 1981 publication as rumors and misinformation detailed on linked subpages labelled "RSDT-Allarton Survey Data").
Background:
- In 1980/1981, the original Classic Traveller version of the Vanguard Reaches Sector was published by Paranoia Press (authored by Chuck Kallenbach II).
- In 1997, the Classic Traveller Paranoia Press "Vanguard Reaches" underwent 1991 Online Updates by Chuck Kallenbach. It is largely reworked in order to conform to the later Sunbane astrographical dot-maps of the Vanguard Reaches Sector.
- In 2015, the Paranoia Press Vanguard Reaches material underwent T5 Second Survey review and updates by Don McKinney to bring it up to T5 standards. It largely utilized the original astrographical map of the Vanguard Reaches from the 1981 Paranoia Press publication as its basis, with a few introduced additions from the 1991 updates added where necessary for consistency with other publications.
Current Publications:
- In 2017, the updated T5 Second Survey reviewed version of the Paranoia Press Vanguard Reaches Sector material was published in the T5 Atlas of the Imperium: Second Survey, by Far Future Enterprises.
- In 2022, Vanguard Reaches Sector was extensively reviewed and overhauled by Geir Lanesskog, drawing data and inspiration from all of the above sources and published as a definitive harmonized version in the The Spinward Extents for Mongoose Traveller 2nd Ed, by Mongoose Publishing.
Notes (2024)[edit]
This version of Vanguard Reaches Sector is specifically the 2015 Updates to the Paranoia Press data as part of the T5 Second Survey (T5SS) project. This data has appeared in T5 Atlas of the Imperium: Second Survey, published by Far Future Enterprises.
- NOTE: Details of the original Paranoia Press data as published in the Booklet for Classic Traveller in 1981 are noted in a subpage detailing the largely unsuccessful Royal Scouts of the Duchy of Trelyn / IISS / Allarton Corporation Survey Project of 1046 as unconfirmed data and/or dubious information.

The Paranoia Press Vanguard Reaches material has since been vetted through the T5SS process and is "In Review". This material has referenced the 1991 updates by Chuck Kallenbach.
