  Judging from the big political map over the Extents in Vilani&Vargr, some
portions of the Regina subsector (Yres, Menorb and some of their neighbours)
has been occupied by Vargr forces, and this is 'confirmed' by the MTJ1 map
over the domain.
  I also don't remembering seeing the Border Worlds on the map in the players
handbook, but I might be wrong on this one. I know, though, that all the worlds of the Border Worlds are listed as standard Sword Worlds in the MARCHES sector
file that I ftp'd from sunbane a few days ago.

  Another strange anomaly on the MTJ1 map is that the imperial border around
Five Sisters(?) (The subsector with Andor and Candory) disappears off the
spinward edge of the map, which could indicate new Imperial accuisitions,
spinward of Spinward so to say, or a faulty map-making algorithm at DGP.

  Hmm, 'Imperial Reserve' gives me the picture of vast tracts of land, going on
for miles and miles, totally uninhabited, prize property for any Ihatei(sp?)
that just 'happens' to land there:)
