World Listing[edit]
Comprehensive Second Survey data for all worlds that are members of the Quinoid Main 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:
