The Sunbane data is a collection of [[UWP]] data files covering 35 sectors of [[Charted Space]]. The data for these sectors was originally generated by [[Joe Fugate]] and marked as copyright by both [[Digest Group Publications]] and {{GDW}}.

Joe uploaded the sector files to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=GEnie&oldid=46491582 GEnie] online service in 1989. This data is know also as the GEnie data (or GENII) for that reason. In 1994 these files were hosted on the Sunbane FTP server (''ftp;//sunbane.engrg.uwo.ca/'', which is no longer available) by the then [[Traveller Mailing List|TML]] host [[User:Dcorrin|Dan Corrin]]. The original files are now collected in the {{HIWG}} archives.

The data was used as the basis for the [[Atlas of the Imperium]] and the dot maps in [[Alien - Solomani & Aslan | Solomani & Aslan]] and [[Alien - Vilani & Vargr|Vilani & Vargr]]. However the data was never officially published and is not canon.

In addition, analysis of the data has shown several problems. The number generator and generation algorithm were bad, producing a "needle stuck in a groove" effect. For example, in [[Delphi Sector|Delphi]], 42 of the 346 (12%) worlds have UWP codes of "x10043x-x".  [[Massilia Sector|Massilia]] has 13 worlds with TL16.

Despite these problems, the Sunbane data continues to be used widely by Traveller fans for their projects. The Sunbane data is distributed with [[Galactic]] and [[Heaven & Earth]], two of the most popular Traveller mapping programs. It forms the basis for numerous online maps.

The [[Hinterworlds Sector]] article in [[Challenge39|Challenge 39]] used the Sunbane data as it's starting point. The data for the [[Domain of Gateway| Gateway Domain]] sectors was used as the starting point for [[Gateway to Destiny]]. {{HIWG}} members have updated and added to many of these sectors as well.
