Startown Liberty
"Startown… the rough and tumble district on any world where travellers can find anything from entertainment to the worst sorts of crime and corruption. Condemned by the majority of honest citizens, exploited by the criminal subculture, and visited by starship crews and other travellers looking for entertainment, information, jobs, or almost anything else, this is "a wretched hive of scum and villainy" . . . this is Startown.
Startown Liberty is a collection of detailed encounter tables designed to generate random encounter situations for Traveller. From the streets to the night spots to the back alleys of Startown, tables and encounter descriptions give depth and detail even to innocent encounters that may have no bearing on the adventure or campaign at hand . . . but serve to provide flavor, atmosphere, and a source of distraction or even new adventures that will serve the Traveller referee in good stead."

Vanguard Reaches
"The sector called The Vanguard Reaches is located 138 parsecs directly spinward of the sector containing Capital/Core, and 80 parsecs directly rimward of the sector containing Zhodane/Gaval. The Vanguard Reaches contains 16 subsectors, 562 planetary systems, and a population of 1.1 28 trillion sentients. This population includes 1 22 billion Zhodani, 11 7 billion Vilani, 56 billion Vargr, 50 billion Aslan, and also Murian, Eslyat, Solomani and Droyne.
The major organization of this region on the interstellar empire level occurred shortly after the Third Frontier War {979 to 986) with the establishment of the Zhodani and Imperium Client States within the sector. Although the Reaches are 38 parsecs from the Imperium and 16 parsecs from the Zhodani Consulate, these two empires have played a large role in the development of the coreward half of the sector.
This booklet is a collection of subsector listings and library data about the Vanguard Reaches, including a map of the entire sector. The subsectors and worlds within are for use by Traveller referees and players, and also provide an important backdrop for many other Paranoia Press projects."

Beyond
"'Beyond the Great Rift, beyond the Imperium and beyond the law' adequately describes both the location and the climate of those sixteen subsectors which comprise the sector known, simply, as Beyond.
Beyond lies directly coreward of the Great Rift, rimward of the Zhodani Consulate, and some 120 parsecs due spinward of Capital itself. The trailing coreward portion of Beyond is considered by some astrographers to be part of the Out-Rim Void, a relatively uncharted area concentrated in the spinward part of the adjacent trailing sector.
Located immediately spinward-rimward of the Spinward Marches. Beyond shares with it a reputation for conflict and intrigue. It is here in Beyond that the traveller will find the strongest concentration of Comsentient Alliance worlds and protectorates — as well as Asian, Droyne. Mal'Gnar, Eslyat, and Sred 'Ni settlements. Some of the latter are full-fledged members of the Alliance; some seek admission to, or at least association with, the Imperium; and some, such as the Mal'Gnar, remain aloof to the 'petty maneuverings of Humaniti and other sentients' and wish only to be left undisturbed.
Beyond consists of sixteen subsectors with a total of 463 worlds. The total population as of 335-1042 was 561 billion sentients, distributed as follows: 493.7 billion Humaniti (including less than 10 thousand Zhodani and 35.5 billion Mal'Gnar); 37.8 billion Aslan; 29.5 billion Sred'Ni and 967 thousand Droyne."
