Extended UWP (Universal World Profile)

I've modified my previous version of an Extended UWP slightly to be easier to read in table format her on the Wiki. The first cell of the table has the Hex and World/System Name, the second cell of the table has the new Extended UWP in fixed-width font to make it easier to read, then the third and fourth cells of the table have the Remarks and Government, Allegiance, and Base info.

The old standard Traveller Universal World Profile remains unchanged: Starport-Size-Atmo-Hydro-Pop-Govt-Law-TechLevel.

This form of Extended UWP takes the standard UWP and adds codes for Base, Zone, and PBG.

Base Codes

The Base code tells what kinds of bases are present, either on the mainworld or in the system somewhere. I've decided to use the codes from T5 as presented at Travellermap, because these retain the original codes from CT, and add some useful codes, but not all of the redundant species-specific codes seen in MT/TNE. The numeric digit codes (less than A) are custom codes that I am using for this campaign.

Zones

There is no interstellar group such as the TAS in this setting to assign Green, Amber, or Red zones to worlds. I expect to use only Red in this campaign, to indicate systems marked as Restricted in some way on navigation charts. If not Red, there will be a dash in this space.

PBG

The PBG is a three-digit that covers 3 diverse subjects: first is the PopMod (see usage with Population code below); second is the number of asteroid or planetoid Belts in the system; third is the number of Gas Giants in the system.

Standard UWP

Remarks

Ah, yes, the Remark codes! Necessary (or at least helpful) codes are the Trade Classifications, such as Ag, Na, In, Ni, Ri, Po, plus a new one that I have added: NC for New Colony. I'm just abandoning some of the other traditional Rem codes as redundant; who really needs As if Size is 0? Or Va if Atmo is 0? Or Wa if Hydro is A? I've also adopted some new Rem codes from the T5 tables that I found useful; see below.

Trade Classifications

Ag Agricultural. Exports food.
Na Non-agricultural. Imports food.
In Industrial. Imports raw materials, exports manufactured goods.
Ni Non-industrial. Imports manufactured goods.
Ri Rich. Imports luxuries and novelties.
Po Poor. Imports only necessities.
NC New Colony. Emphasis on goods to build and expand the colony.
Ex Extreme. Not inhabitable by humans except in sealed environments.

Climate I decided to take Climate out of the Remarks section and make it a single descriptive word at the end of the extended UWP (see below).

Political

Cx Capital. 
Cp Subsector Capital. 
Cs Sector Capital. 
Cy:XXYY (Colony controlled by world at hex XXYY)
Mr:XXYY (Under Military Rule by world at hex XXYY)
Pr:XXYY (Prison or exile world controlled by world at hex XXYY)
O:XXYY (Otherwise controlled by world at hex XXYY)

Note: For XXYY identification, include Sector if not same. Also, an Allegiance code may be substituted here indicating control by a multi-world govt.

If no Remark codes apply, there will be a double-dash in the Rem space.

We will not be using other T5 codes such as Ix (Importance), Ex (Economics), Cx (Cultural), or N (Nobility), or at least not until I actually have T5 to evaluate them.
