District 268 research station

CT = the 1977 booklet rules? As someone who's come back to Traveller after a 40 year gap, why is it we still treat those as the primary source, rather than using Mongoose as a clean reboot?

Because Mongoose themselves use that stuff as a starting point.

I was merely cutting through possible typo snowballing from Megatraveller, TNE, GURPS, MGT1e and MGT2e to have a look.

However, in this particular case the Mongoose material aligns perfectly with the CT material. The Mongoose map from the OP shows the same Upper case Greeek Eta at Junidy as the 1981 map did. If TravellerMap says otherwise for the same era, it's far more likely to be an error of TravellerMap.

And it would certainly NOT be astounding if someone misread a Greek letter and put in the wrong name.

Edit: including me. That OP map has an uppercase Gamma at Judice. Are Mongoose using a Gamma to mark all Research stations on that map instead of the actual station name? I know GDW used the Gamma as the example of a Research station's presence on the key, but the seven SM stations were shown with their actual symbol.

Map aside, the UWP listings should say if a station is present or not, in the notes.

yeah, every single source but one has a research station on Judice. It looks like a pretty clear typo on that one map.
