Judges Guild Gateway Quadrant Sectors

Before the Atlas of the Imperium, in the days of GDW's land grants, the prolific publisher Judges Guild published four sector supplements defining the Gateway Quadrant:

• Crucis Margin
• Glimmerdrift Reaches
• Ley Sector
• Maranatha-Alkahest Sector

While the quality of the publications was not necessarily up to the standards of GDW's Supplement 3 and Supplement 10, or necessarily of other licensees, it was a unique look at the wilds on the Trailing edge of the as-yet ill-defined Imperium.

The Atlas and other later works decanonized the Judges Guild sectors - only the names of three of the four sectors were retained (with Maranatha-Alkahest replaced by Gateway). But that doesn't mean that they're not fun places to explore!

Useful resources:

• Jeff Rients Gateway Quadrant Wiki
• Gateway Quadrant on RPGGeek
• Classic Traveller - The Apocrypha II (CD-ROM by Far Future Enterprises)
• Judges Guild Bundle from DriveThruRPG

To preserve these for posterity, I've added them to the TravellerMap.com site. And to avoid overwhelming the UI with "which setting are you interested in?" clutter - and honestly, to make it easier to implement - I've simply placed the sectors far away from charted space. They're visible in search, or you can jump right to them:

Add a map to your site!

I was browsing the Great TML Landgrab site and lamented the fact that many of the grabbee sites don't have maps showing where the systems are.

Now there's no excuse - just add the following line of HTML to your page, adjust the coordinates, and you've got a full fidelity map:

<iframe src="http://www.travellermap.com/iframe.htm?x=-95.914&y=70.5&scale=64&options=887" style="width: 200px; height: 200px; border: solid 1px black;"></iframe>

Note that it looks like a Permalink from the site, but with one subtle difference: "/iframe.htm" is specified rather than just the default page ("/"). This is a version of the map with no UI, specifically for embedding.

You can get the x/y by finding the system on my map site and using the "Permalink" feature in the footer - click it and it will give you the full permament URL of what you've got centered. Then copy/paste into the URL above - remembering to change the URL to include "iframe.htm"

You'll get something like this:



Note that it's a fully functional map - you can drag with the mouse and zoom by using the mouse wheel or double-clicking (hold Alt to zoom out).

Go wild!

Edited 2007-03-19 to call attention to the "iframe.htm" part of the URL necessary for embedding. Ω
