These are very important issues for our Regency sourcebook project *Shall
Not Perish*.  These problems with borders in the Domain/Regency actually
pre-date the Rebellion era discrepancies noted above.  (You'll recall my
questions about the discrepancies in the Border Worlds in Sword Worlds
subsector after the 5FW.)

What I'd like to do is to try to identify *all* `official' maps of the Domain
of Deneb (Spinward Marches, Deneb Sector, Trojan Reach and Reft Sector) that
either show borders of world allegiance codes from *Supplement 3: Spinward
Marches* to whatever has appeared for the Regency in TNE.  This would include
everything - like the map of Pax Rulin subsector in *Leviathan*.  I'd like
to identify the source of the map, the `real' date it was published, and
it's supposed date in the campaign.  (And please, let's try to be more
specific than just `Rebellion-era'.)

I'll examine whatever maps I have over the weekend.  Rodge and Ed, will you
give us the appropriate sources of the citations you used above?  Anyone
else, please contribute as you can.

In addition to identifying sources, we need to start to get a handle on the
discrepancies.  If possible, when you post your sources, please try to
identify as many discrepancies as possible.  Give world name and hex location
and whatever border/alignment discrepancy exists.

I'll serve a coordinator of this effort.  It shouldn't take but a few days
if enough folks participate.  Once we've gathered all the data I'll post
a summary and then we'll try to resolve the discrepancies for *Shall Not
Perish*.

Let's get busy!
