Paranoia's retro Vanguard Reaches and Beyond

As I hinted at, I've swapped out the previous data for these two sectors and aligned the map with the publications by Paranoia Press, as can be found on the Apocrypha II CD-ROM by FFE.

They're a bit... um... crazy. But sure, why not. Pending an official do-over, enjoy their apocryphal glory. Watch out for nebulae. And rosettes. And ringworlds. And sphereworlds.

I've read a text (in the Atlas of the Imperium, I believe) that states the entire I'Sred*Ni state "is more or less amber zone". This could be interpreted that all the green-zoned worlds there should actually be amber.

Also, the changing of the data has broken a lot of routes around the edges.

I especially liked the "Normal" system, apparently named after Bloomington-Normal.

As 77topaz says, there's now an ugly discontinuity around the edges of Beyond. Where's half of the Florian League gone??

I think it would be great to have these data switchable... if I've seeing Paranoia Press' version of Beyond, then there *is* no corresponding map for the Trojan Reaches - so it should be reduced to a dot-map.

In short - I think discontinuities are a disaster. It would be far preferable to blank out some areas (as with Foreven) to avoid the discontinuity.

In way of Paranoia 2316 is a small polity labelled "Florian League". Is is canon that the League extends into another subsector? If so, should the border color be altered to match the main body?

thanks, JFGarber

I would like to have a way of getting to the old version of The Beyond. I had action running between District 268 and The Beyond. I used your page rather than printing it out. Now it is gone and that game is dead.

I'll post links to the old data set which will let you print out maps/booklets.

I can't do it today as I'm traveling.)

... and it's a bit tricky on just a phone.

Interesting. It turns out I wasn't using the updated Paranoia version of Beyond, but the one from Galactic. You can get the data and maps here:
