The Gimmerdrift Reaches is copyright 1981 by Judges Guild.

The sector was written by Dave Sering and Steve Crow, with artwork by Ken
Simpson and Ed Perry. Bob Bledsaw (judgesguild@q-com.com) gave permission
for this sector to be transcribed into Galactic (as well as other
Traveller-related freeware). The transcription was done by Andrew
Moffatt-Vallance (a.vallance@netaccess.co.nz) in 1997.

Introduction

Introduction to the Glimmerdrift Reaches
----------------------------------------

The Glimmerdrift Reaches sector was developed by Judges Guild in 1981.
It was declared invalid by GDW in 1984.

Since the sector was produced before it became common practice to give
population multipliers, number of planetoid belts, or number of gas giants in
sector data, these numbers have been left as 0, except with gas giants where 0
indicates the absence of any and 1 indicates the presence of an indeterminate
number. There were also a few subsectors where it was possible to have a
reasonable guess at population multipliers. These have also been included.

Whilst transcribing the data I have tried to preserve as much of the feel of
the original product as possible. Please bear in mind that this sector was
published in the early eighties, and as such is far 'rougher' than the sectors
which are published today. In transcribing the data, I found many examples
where the planetary data conflicted with the accompaning text. I have made no
attempt to correct these conflicts.

Update (17-July-97): Added random population multipliers (where popmult
originally equaled 0) on recommendation from one of the users. Worlds with
pop=0, law=0, and gov=0 got to keep their original popmult=0.   -jimv
