I'm going to be lazy and not linkify all of the above.

As far as T5SS progress goes:

• Afawahisa, Beyond, Gateway, Touchstone, and Vanguard Reaches were promoted from "In Review" to "Official"
• Zhiensh, Lubbock, Kruse and Xuanzang sectors in new/forthcoming books are "Unreviewed"
• Lots and lots of tweaks to sectors in various "Official"/"In Review" stats, since nothing is every truly final.

Here's an overview - red = "Official", orange = "Unreviewed" or "In Review", green = "Preserve"

T5SS:

   

    These sectors appeared in recent publications. They've been "In

    Review" for years and we can still tweak them.

    

    Also, add a handful of sector names from the Rim Expeditions books.
