Traveller Tuesday: X-Boat Routes in the Marches

As everyone who reads my Tuesday Traveller series knows, I am an inveterate tinkerer with a tendency to obsess over things which don't make sense.  Thus it should come as no surprise when I mention that the X-Boat routes throughout the Spinward Marches have driven me absolutely bugnuts, and when I discovered a way to change them to my liking I spent close to an entire evening doing just that.

Here, then, is the new Spinward Marches according to Erin.

Some notes as they occur to me:

• The purple lines are for high-speed (J-5 and J-6) military and diplomatic channels. They are not usually available for commercial use, although an obscenely wealthy corporation could buy space on one -- but they likely have their own J-6 ships for that. 
• I have no way to differentiate between a route that stops at a system and one that simply passes through it. Sorry. You'll have to use your discretion. 
• Whenever possible, I made a direct line to subsector capitals. 
• Whenever possible, I made loops instead of lines, both for speed of transmission and for the ability to route communication around damage where needed. 
• Using this system, communication from sector capital Mora to the other subsector capitals is damn fast, considering that each hex is a parsec (3.5 light years across):
• 2 weeks to reach Lunion and Rhylanor
• 3 weeks to reach Lanth, Glisten and Trin
• 4 weeks to reach Aramis, Frenzie, Regina, Mertactor
• 5 weeks to reach Iderati
• 6 weeks to reach Mire and Jewell (but only 2 weeks from Jewell to Regina)
• Ivendo and Fosey become these odd J-6 hubs, which become less odd when you realize that Ivendo has both a Navy and a Scout base, and Fosey has a Naval Intelligence office. Hmm....
• Icetina is a weird, nonsensical dogleg that existed before I changed the map. I made the reason for its existence into a plot point. 
• Similarly, Walston is now a Class B port and X-boat hub due to the actions of the PCs. (It's going to be integrated into the Imperium as soon as the population gets it racism under control.)
• I switched the locations of Bronze and Steel because I had an adventure called "Project Steel" which was all about removing the X-boat base at Biter and routing it through Steel, and the canonical position of Steel made that idiotic. Rather than change the adventure (Steel is habitable, Bronze is not), I used GM fiat to switch the positions of the systems. 
• It's now a Jump-2 for the Sword Worlds to get any mail from the Imperium. Suck it, Swordies. 
• Flammarion is now even more of a critical hub as it is the official link from the Imperium to the Darrian Confederation. It goes to Spume and not Darrian because I figured it was more important for mail to get onto the Darrian's mail service than to go to the old capital. 
• The Zhodani were deliberately left unchanged. 

In all likelihood, I have made some mistakes with this map. If you see anything that looks strange, please let me know.
