The Sunbane data is a collection of UWP data files covering 35 sectors of Charted Space. This data was originally uploaded to the 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 TML listmom 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 Solomani & Aslan and 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, 42 of the 346 (12%) worlds have UWP codes of "x10043x-x". The Old Expanses 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 Challenge 39 used the Sunbane data as it's starting point. The data for the 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.
