Worlds & Sectors (Astrography)[edit]
This astrographic feature is found in the following areas:
Charted Space – Third Imperium
World Listing[edit]
Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds that are members of the Nero Trace is available.
- The primary source material for all data is Traveller Map.
- Other sources may differ: some elements of the data may be contradictory or incorrect.
- Data is occasionally updated as new information becomes available.
AAB library archives contain expanded data about the following systems:
10 of 10 World articles in Nero Trace
Asher (De 2433) • Boffit • Caddrairc • Frigidair • Janice • Khmer • Nero • Reagan (De 2533) • Serreg • Vermpe •
| startbacknext(10 listed) |
Note that some Second Survey data, though only 40 years old, may already be out of date.
- Scouting missions gathering reliable, verified data can receive substantial payment.
