Amdukan, yes; brain and fingers not in sync.

And I'm wrong about 11,000 being the 1st Imperium world count - it's described as having an extent of 15,000 worlds at its peak.

The real answer is likely that GDW hadn't mapped out all the worlds when they came up with the figure, and just counted out how many subsectors the Imperium covered and assumed standard density.

The Kinunir describes the Imperium as being 281 subsectors and over 11,000 worlds. At standard density (40 worlds/subsector) you get 11,240. But it looks like that 281 count includes a lot of partial subsectors along the borders, so that'll bring the actual world count down, even if the Imperium is standard density overall.

Do you mean Amdukan rather than Umdukan sector? If so that would add 1287 systems to the count, for 10275 total.

I'd say that, when they proclaimed the Third Imperium as a successor state, they included all the systems of the First & Second Imperiums. While the Third has expanded outside the First's borders into the Marches, I suspect that doesn't make up for not regaining Meshan, Mendam and Umdukan sectors.

Don't know if I'd count most of the SolConfed worlds amongst the '11,000'.
