Did anyone ever do any work with the subectors immediately rimward and/or trailing of the Reformation Coalition? Harlequin in Solomani Rim sector and Ximenes & McKenzie subsectors in Alpha Crucis sector? They're as close to the Coalition as Khulam or Theozennt and a lot closer than Promise or Sufren or Solee. Hell, Fairday in McKenzie had 80 billion people!
Even if these subsectors aren't within the primary AO, they seem like prime places to raid for their many Tech Level 15 relics.
There was an adventure set on one of the worlds in Alpha Crucis. It was in the Traveller Chronicle magazine. It was a cold recovery job with a virus thrown in.

In Traveler chronicle #5. --The Mermani Descent--. A cold recovery on Phaedrus (1006 Alpha Crucis). BARD under OPEL---Worlds of alpha Crucis also has some world write-ups that have some good material to provoke thought, but other than these A-C has been pretty quiet. I would guess that Oriflamme raiders and Lancers are heavy into this area what with Spencer and Kal all but in their pocket.

TNE-RCES collapsed the whole Alpha Crucis sector, which is on BARD.

By request, Harlequin Subesector. See attached (hopefully).
Mark Gelinas did the initial design work on this subsector and then I did some additional editing work. I also have an unfinished (actually it's about 90% complete) adventure involving Arkiirkii (30 second version: the local TED has access to two large planetary defense meson guns...freelancers from the RC are sent to recon the the planet). I'll post what I have soon.
In the literature, the Tukera Freighter used by Baldur to colonise Poyzen was recovered from Alpha Crucis, as per World Tamers' Handbook.

Hi, I just downloaded a file in the file section here with a map of the Lazzerton subsector I did up using----The Traveller Map, and the data in the OPEL section of BARD. There is a poster section on the Traveller Map that allows you to make your own maps. To say this is a fantastic feature sells it short, it really enhances the session, especially when the PCs spend some time actively looking up rumors to be able to give them a jump map of the area around where they currently are. You can use data from Traveller Map itself or you can drag and drop data of our own making or from a site like Missouri Archives, which for that matter is another great site to go swimming in. These maps can be jump maps, subsector maps or sector maps.

For those of us less than technically inclined, could you post a "How-to" for those steps?

OK Scott, here goes, but fair warning, this could be a case of the blind teaching the blind (it only took me 9 months to figure out what the www stood for, I'm still working on the http).
I sent in a file with my work on the Alpha C sector so far (work in progress alert), sorry but your earliest question caught me in mid step. The data is good for the eight coreward subsectors.. It took me an even dozen tries till I fond that this format works, don't know why don't know why it does and the other attempts didn't, but it does work. I did this on some function called a notebook (not sure everyone has this function or I just got lucky with my computer)..
I go to The Traveller Map and on the upper right is several icons. Tap the ? icon. On the drop down screen go to Booklet Maker-Poster Maker. I used the Poster Maker to do up the Lazzerton subsector map I sent in. From here just copy and paste the data file into the upper box. This will give you the map. The second box is for the metadata (trade routes, government boarders and the like).
Two things you should note: In the place under the notes where Ag, Ni would go there are double -- for some worlds. I found that map poster will not recognize a world unless there is some kind of place holder in this location so -- seemed to be a fairly benign choice. The second thing is the A and R for amber and red worlds does not get accepted and is actually ignored by the poster maker. I do not know why this is so but with the Traveller's Aid Society gone this is a relatively mute point and I just ignore it.
For the bottom box where you cut and paste in the metadata. You have to be fairly carful. If you have one thing out of place the metadata will be rejected. Before I got it to work I typed in a (') instead of a (") and got rejected. Once I figured out where I goofed it ran smooth as silk.
Once you get the world data file dropped into place the poster maker is very user friendly and lets you play with some interesting options. Jump maps where you can choose the radius, full sector maps or subsectors, colored printer friendly or color on black (very not printer friendly), candy and if you want the UPP data on the map, that to can be done.
Until you get it to work I would save time by just typing up three of four worlds and try to install them into the poster maker. Once it works out you can go on from there.
Hope this helps
Roger
