The [[RSDT-Allarton Survey]] was an astrographic survey of the entire [[Spinward Extents]] region commissioned during the mid-900's and undertaken by a joint venture of the [[Royal Scouts of the Duchy of Trelyn]] and the [[Allarton Corporation]].

== Background & Description ==
In the period between the beginning of Imperial explorations into [[Zhodani]] territory in [[500]] and the start of the [[First Frontier War]] in [[589]], the [[Imperial Interstellar Scout Service]] made a Class I survey of the region known as the [[Spinward Extents]], comprising the Sectors today called the [[Vanguard Reaches/T5SS-Atlas|Vanguard Reaches]] and [[The Beyond/T5SS-Atlas|The Beyond]]. Largely a record of stellar types and superficial system data, this survey went into little detail and discovered no significant [[minor race]]s. This first survey was used as a basis for information gathering by the [[Allarton Corporation]] in the early 900's. The Corporation's records continued to expand until, along with the [[Travellers' Aid Society]], they were commissioned to do a full-scale Class V survey of the entire region by Grand Duke Ardesh Varen in the year 946. The fledgling [[Royal Scouts of the Duchy of Trelyn]] ([[RSDT]]) were also enlisted to aid in this task, and between the Scouts, the TAS and the Allarton Corporation, the project fell apart.

The final survey, as published, was a cornucopia of hearsay, legends, rumors and fabrications. Wild tales of ringworlds, sphereworlds, rosettes and a few nonexistent companies were presented as authoritative data. The TAS Survey was such a compilation of misinformation that learned starfarers attempted to obtain the Allarton records of the early 900's, which were much more reliable. Years after the publication of the TAS survey, Grand Duke Laram commissioned a new survey by the [[Royal Scouts of the Duchy of Trelyn|Royal Scouts]] to include their own experience and new techniques from the [[IISS]]. The current data in the main article of this library entry, published during the reign of the current Grand Duchess Lissa Dyana, is from the updated [[RSDT]] Survey of the Spinward Extents. It easily sets new benchmarks for surveys of the area, and these data are as complete as the most recent Imperial surveys.  

''Travellers'' are urged to regard any information on the [[Spinward Extents]] region obtained from the ''RSDT-Allarton Survey'' as unreliable and likely spurious.  Please use caution and discretion when referencing its content.
