Subject: [GZG] OT: Traveller Question

Hi,

Slightly off topic question, but this list is probably the most likely to have
someone who knows the answer.

I'm currently trying to build a map of the Traveller universe, and the
star data I have has some obscure values for the UWP - notably the
government type. So far, I've found Government types of 'K' and 'M', though my
list only goes up to F: Totalitarian Oligarchy.

Does anyone know whether this is bad data, or is there an even more complete
list of Traveller government codes somewhere? If the latter, could someone
point me at the list?

I'm checking my data with that given at http://www.travellermap.com/,
which also has the same values. Possibly we've both used the same
source of bad data (e.g., Ahaikhea, which has a UWP of B4224K3-9).

Thanks.

To my utter file-system-checking amazement I still have module 1.
Posting for the sake of completeness:

G: Small Station, i.e. single clan, Pop 3-
H: Split Control, as human Balkanised
J: Single On-world Clan, one local clan predominates
K: Single Multi-world Clan, also runs other worlds
L: Major Clan Control, owned by one of the leading 29 clans M: Vassal Clan,
run by a clan in fief to a larger clan N: Major Vassal Clan, run by a clan in
fief to one of the 29

For those who don't know GDW's Aslan, they are a not-Hani bearing
absolutely no resemblance to those in C J Cherryh's Chanur saga.
