There's Victoria, written up in the _Journal_ #2 (and presumably
in _Best of Journal_ #1), and Fulacin, written up in Adventure 3,
_Twilight's Peak_. Both of these are very detailed. Knorbes has a
site that's mentioned very slightly in Adventure 1, _Kinunir_.
Pixie has one that's written up in _Traveller's Digest_ #21, but
before you place it there consider the likelihood of someone
coming from Trojan Reach on his way to Rhylanor with three friends
in cold sleep detouring to Pixie without consulting his friends
because he heard about an unknown Ancient site. If I ever run that
adventure I will change the planet to one more or less on the way
between Trojan Reach and Rhylanor.
Be that as it may, four more planets in Regina Subsector has
Ancient sites, though none are written up. Efate is one and I
forget the other three, but they're mentioned in Alien module
5, _Droyne_. Darrian was an Ancient planet (any planet except
Terra with a "native" human race was an Ancient planet), but
most or all traces are presumably gone. Andory and Vanejen were
Ancient planets too (any Droyne and Chirper world is). Any
asteroid belt in the habitable zone around a planet may be an
Ancient ex-planet. The Shionty Belt (where antimatter can be
found drifting around) is thought to be one such.
Incidentally, if a kilo of antimatter hits a ton of matter,
how much of the matter gets converted to energy?
Btw. I'd be very interested in any of your own Ancient sites,
if you've got them written up.
