I know the feeling.  I was abroad when T20 came out and it took a
while before I'd 'caught up' on all that material.  Still not 100%
sure I know where the boundary between what exists in print and
electronic form is!

I really ought to read those I guess... so many books, so little time.

Ah... bother.  I do actually have that article in my bibliography (I
think I've got all of the Dragon articles for Traveller now) but of
course because it didn't mention a subsector or include a map, I
didn't find it on my search and didn't recall it from memory.  <writes
out 100 times: I must do better...>

But glad you've remembered that...

I'll have a browse through the 98 pages of Periodical Bibliography
volume 2 I have so far (I'll do it the hard way rather than rely on
search) and see what I come up with, but don't hold your breath.  And
I'll keep my eyes peeled in the future but the difficulty will be then
connecting anything I find with who was looking for it!

All the best in your quest and happy Travelling
