General Updates
Following the passing of Don McKinney just over a year ago a lot of the momentum for the Traveller 5 Second Survey project was lost, but contributors to the site kept iterating on and providing new data. Some of the updates include:
- Canopus and refinements Solomani sectors by Randy Dorman
- Placeholders for five sectors in K'kree space by Jim Kundert: Xaagr, Raakaan, Uuk, Bar'kakr, Nuughu
- Work on several sectors by WG Zeist, including Ahkiweahi', Ghoekhnael, Zao Kfeng Ig Grilokh, Kfazz Ghik
- Knoellighz by The Pakkrat
- Work on the Orion OB1 Association by WG Zeist
- Hiver updates and fixes by Mark Humphreys
- Zho pop fixes by Jim Kundert

Milieu Support
To assist in the development of the new "Galaxiad" setting set in the far, far future of M1900 I added milieu support. Several developers jumped on the bandwagon to adapt published sectors or placeholders for borders from various eras in the history of Charted Space. The data in most of the milieu is pretty sparse as yet.

Visualizations:
I added a few new visualizations, as well as experimental UI to control them.
You can see the Empress Wave bearing down on charted space circa M1105:

T5SS
Finally, towards the end of 2016 we rebooted the Traveller 5 Second Survey effort. Several additional sectors have been brought "In Review" and we've begun to do more cleanup of the data, looking for glitches that have crept it and making progress on the work Don started:
Now in review, joining the T5SS data set:
