It was a typo, went live in 2005. Fixed!

TravellerMap went live 20 years ago, 23 April 2005. It didn't have a domain name until a few months later, but the basic functionality was there. Here's a brief history I wrote up for the 10th anniversary: https://travellermap.blogspot.com/2015/04/10-years-ago.html Not much has changed...

I'm being dumb... I'm not seeing a new map file in my DT updates. Looks like the two new books and five new maps, but not this sixth map. Something wonky just for me?

I've updated the page to give more information about Ix, Ex, Cx and RU.

The Ex field is 5 characters wide (3 eHex digits, a positive or negative sign, then 1 decimal digit), so ??9? is not expected to work. ??9?? would.

No, but pull requests are welcome.

An excellent OTU setting explanation was included as an insert in the later editions of the GDW Imperium board game, maybe 8 pages long. This text was re-used in the GURPS Traveller core rulebook in sidebars, which is where I first encountered it. Perhaps that could be dusted off and released...

Indeed. "Gateway to Destiny" is the most recently published source for those sectors.

There is an essential element of Lower Decks that is contingent on unwavering loyalty to both your friends and the higher ideals of an exploratory organization in the face of mortal danger and absurdity. Did I mention I mostly play Scouts?

Re: TravellerMap - it predates Mongoose's license and publications; I started the site in 2005! It doesn't include the Ht/Lt codes; it adheres to the T5 trade code definitions. I have it on my to-do list to incorporate those since it comes up frequently.

https://logofthegrayswandir.com/ is an (unfinished) serialized story set primarily in the Adar and Tilanke subsectors, at the start of the Rebellion. Lots of nice world details and political machinations.

The world maps generated through the "c/o TravellerWorlds" link that take you to an entirely different site are, perhaps unsurprisingly, not official.

The Traveller T5 worlds site is back up at https://travellerworlds.com

Top sophonts are working on it. It will likely be available again within the next few days.
