In the free download form Hell Creek Sanitarium there was a map with a printable background. Here is the not so printable version of the map for those who like a darker background.
This map is based on the data (by Dylango) of Rull Subsector of the Foreven Sector found at the Zhodani Base. The differences are that the borders have moved a bit and that there are trade routes added.

Today is talk like a Pirate day. How does a traveller space pirate talk?
Some say that pirates are not feasible in traveller. They say that the impies and/or other powers will swiftly crush any piracy. 🙁
I do not agree! 
If we look at the planet earth, in the year 2009, we can see that piracy does happen in the most unexpected places. It doesn’t have to happen along the coast of a country in anarchy. It could even happen in the Baltic.
What happened (and why) to the ship Arctic Sea could absolutely be transformed into a traveller adventure.
Remember that a pirate could also be a privateer. Then the pirate would be a lot easier. A pdf-file about privateering in traveller can be downloaded here.
Pirates doesn’t only have to operate corsair ships built using book-2. They could also use old warships or government sponsored privateers build using book-5 rules. That would give the pirates a better fighting chance. 😈
Alex Schroeder has made a very nice subsector mapping tool. 😀
The interface is simple, and it produces nice looking svg maps.
IE might have problems showing the map. 🙁
Firefox will work fine. 🙂
Marc Miller has just posted the original draft of the Spinward Marches map on the FFE website. 😀
Now we have to examine it to see how well it matches the original version. 😉
What differences have You found, and what is your theories about that? 😕
