Reft Sector - Credits
---------------------

The Reft Sector data was ftped from Sunbane.

Similar data seems to have been published in issue 20 of
The Travellers' Digest put out by Digest Group Publications
in July of 1990. The people involved in the Trojan Reach
write-up from that issue were James Holden, John Meyers,
and Mike Mikesh.

Christopher Thrash  wrote up some brief
world descriptions for the Islands clusters (in the Old
Islands & New Islands subsectors). These write-ups are
based on material published in Supplement 5, Trillion
Credit Squadron, p. 40-47. The descriptions themselves
are all quotes from the supplement, with three exceptions:  
(1) some minor rephrasing and repeating so the quotes make
sense out of context, (2) a few dates that are conjectural
(the founding of Esperanza, for example) but pretty
conservatively extrapolated from known data, and (3) the
definitions for the world names (Chris researched these
with help from the TML).

Note on the Islands Clusters

Subject: Galactic Submission

Jim:

I've downloaded your Galactic program and started to implement it
to keep track of my Traveller campaign.  What a wonderful system!
Thanks for making it available.

In return, I'd like to pass along some descriptive information to
add to your files.  My campaign is set in the Islands Clusters -
Old Islands and New Islands Subsectors (J and K), Reft Sector. 
It is based on material published in Supplement 5, Trillion
Credit Squadron, p. 40-47.  They properly belong to the
classic\reft\loc directory.

The descriptions themselves are all quotes from the supplement,
with three exceptions:  

(1) some minor rephrasing and repeating to have the quotes make
sense out of context, 

(2) one or two dates that are conjectural (the founding of
Esperanza, for example) but pretty conservatively extrapolated
from known data, and 

(3) the definitions for the world names.  These last I researched
myself, with help from the TML - any flaws, however, are my own.

The details in your file for these subsectors come from Trillion
Credit Squadron (CT), by way of The Regency Sourcebook (TNE). 
The UWPs are valid for 1106-1117 Imperial; the PBG extensions
come from The Regency Sourcebook, but directly contradict
material from the original (e.g., Zufluct is listed in TCS with
planetoid belts; in TRS and your data the value for "B" is 0).

I'll send along some more data as I get the opportunity; this was
simply what I already had on hand, plus some minor reformatting.

Cheers,

Chris Thrash
