Talk:Aldebaran Sector

The GURPS Traveller New Service [1] has a series of dispatches from Aldebaran sector that reference a number of worlds there. These bulletins all take place, of course, in the alternate timeline of Milieu 1120.

Other than Home (1009), none of the world names or hex locations seem to correspond to the current Traveller Map data, which is unofficial -- though the locations are supposed to approximate the dotmap in Alien - Solomani & Aslan:

• Covenant (Aldebaran 0000), a world with a planetary parliament.
• Daedalus (Aldebaran 0000), home to the pleasant island resort of White Kyros, known to cater to Solomani Party leaders.
• Europa (Aldebaran 0000), a world struggling with an ongoing civil rebellion in 1121.
• Euxene (Aldebaran 0000), presumably located in subsector A.
• Heimdall (Aldebaran 0000), a balkanized world with the breakaway nation-state of Bremagne.
• Marava (Aldebaran 0000), a hereditary monarchy ruled by a deposed noble family that claims title to the Iridium Throne. Emperor John III ascended in 1119.
• Monterey (Aldebaran 0000), a system with multiple gas giants near Home.
• Teilhard (Aldebaran 0000), a "relatively isolated world."
• Twilight (Aldebaran 0912), the homeworld of Marc Chissano, a member of the Radical bloc of the Solomani Party and who served as Secretary-General in the Milieu 1120 from 1120 until being deposed by Nationalist leader Jan Malikov in 1122. The hex location would put this world in Subsector F. The 132-1121 TNS bulletin references a "Star Bridge" subsector, which may refer to F. The world was a dictatorship until overthrown by a junta in 1121.
