Planetoid Belt Data Core Editor

The planetoid belt survey record now supports field-level modification via the standard data core edit interface. Operators may adjust orbital parameters, belt composition ratios, resource rating, bulk mass, and span values directly from the survey display.

Orbital Transit Diagram

The star system survey display now renders an orbital transit diagram depicting the spatial hierarchy of all catalogued bodies within the system. Selecting any body on the diagram navigates directly to its survey record.

Standalone Cartographic Export

Star system transit diagrams may now be retrieved as standalone imagery independent of the survey console interface. The export subsystem supports SVG vector output and WebP raster encoding. Standalone renders are suitable for inclusion in external briefing documents and operational planning materials.

Cartographic Cache Subsystem

A two-tier caching architecture has been installed for all map rendering operations. Server-side frame buffers retain previously computed cartographic output, eliminating redundant render cycles when multiple operators access the same survey data. An additional HTTP-level freshness protocol permits the operator's local terminal to bypass the data link entirely when no upstream modifications have been recorded. These optimisations apply to both star system transit diagrams and subsector hex grid displays.

Degenerate Stellar Classification Support

The Star System Registration Console now accepts Brown Dwarf (BD) and White Dwarf (D) designations when configuring primary or companion stellar bodies.

Survey Index Telemetry

Star system records now carry a survey index value transmitted by the procedural synthesis engine at time of generation. This datum is persisted alongside existing system parameters and will be available for future cataloguing and cross-reference operations.

Low-Magnitude Stellar Readout Correction

The numeric formatting subsystem has been recalibrated to prevent near-zero stellar measurements from collapsing to a null display. Luminosity, habitable zone central orbit, and companion orbital distance readings that previously truncated to 0.00 now render with significant- digit precision, ensuring that faint companions and tight orbits remain legible on the survey display.

Atmospheric & Hydrographic Sensor Calibration

The long-range planetary survey array has been recalibrated to improve resolution of atmospheric composition and hydrographic surface coverage. The spectroscopic analysis firmware now discriminates between trace, thin, standard, and dense atmospheric envelopes with greater precision, and the orbital imaging subsystem produces refined estimates of surface liquid distribution, including coverage percentages and predominant fluid types.

These improvements apply to all newly generated planetary bodies. Survey records committed prior to this calibration cycle are not affected and retain their original sensor readings. Operators wishing to update existing records must re-survey the body using current instrumentation.

Star System Initialization Modes

The Star System Registration Console now supports three initialization modes, selectable at time of core commit. The operator must designate one mode before registration will proceed.

EMPTY mode registers a star system with only the primary star configuration. The operator specifies spectral type and luminosity class; all orbital bodies may be surveyed and entered at a later time. This mode is appropriate when manual data entry is preferred or when survey data is incomplete.

RANDOM mode delegates system generation to the onboard procedural synthesis engine. No additional parameters are required. The generator will produce a complete star system in accordance with standard IISS probability tables.

BUILD CONFIGURATION mode accepts a YAML directive packet specifying system composition constraints. This mode permits the operator to define stellar primaries, orbital body counts, and other generation parameters prior to synthesis. A reference specification is available via the linked documentation module on the registration form.

Allegiance Registry Search & Pagination

The Allegiance Registry now segments records into pages of ten entries each, with sequential page navigation controls displayed beneath the register. A search field has been installed above the registry table, permitting operators to filter records by allegiance code or designation name. Matching is performed as characters are entered; no manual submission is required. A CLEAR control will appear when a filter is active to restore the unfiltered view.

Registry Page Recall

When returning from a detail view to the Sector Registry or Allegiance Registry via the navigation controls, the console now restores the page containing the previously viewed record. Prior behaviour returned the operator to page one regardless of origin. This modification reduces unnecessary re-navigation when reviewing sequential registry entries.

Comet Classification Editor

The comet data core edit form now includes a type classification selector, allowing operators to designate comets as TINY, MEDIUM, LARGE, or INHABITED after initial survey entry. Previously, comet type could only be assigned during creation and was written directly into the observation notes. The classification is now maintained as a discrete data field.

Stellar Object Survey Display Corrections

The Class IV Survey form used for rogue stellar objects and minor bodies has been corrected. The subsector reference map now displays at full console width alongside the survey data. Edit controls and IISS form designators, previously absent from this layout, have been restored. These corrections affect gravity anomalies, comets, relics, and all other stellar objects rendered via the standard two-column survey format.

Rogue Object Table Standardisation

The rogue stellar object table has been brought into conformance with standard console table formatting. Object names are now linked directly to their corresponding survey records, permitting single-action navigation from the subsector view.

Subsector Registry Table

The sector survey view now includes a tabular Subsector Registry summarising all sixteen subsectors within the surveyed sector. Each row displays the subsector designation, total star system count, stellar body count, and allegiances active in the subsector.

This addition provides operators with a consolidated overview of sector composition without requiring navigation to individual subsector views.

Stellar Cartography Downlink

The Stellar Cartography Downlink establishes a calibrated data handshake with the Imperial TravellerMap Survey Archive, retrieving officially catalogued sector records for immediate operational use.

Upon activation, the system will initialise a complete sector framework, automatically instantiating subsectors, parsecs, and preliminary subsector build configurations in accordance with Standard Imperial Survey Protocols (Revision 1105).

This process executes asynchronously. During downlink operations, sector data may appear incrementally as survey packets are decoded and committed. This is expected behaviour. Do not interrupt the process unless directed by Fleet Systems Control.

NOTE: The Downlink reflects the state of Imperial records at time of transmission. Local political changes, stellar drift, and unreported catastrophes may not yet be represented. Referee judgement is advised.

Subsector Cartographic Display

The Astrogation Console now renders an interactive hex map on subsector detail screens. Each hex displays the standard four-digit coordinate, starport class, primary star (colour-coded by spectral type), gas giant presence indicator, and allegiance code where applicable. Selecting a stellar primary will navigate to the corresponding system survey data.

Allegiance Registry Synchronization

The Reference Manual now supports automated synchronization of allegiance codes from the Imperial Cartographic Authority databanks. Operators may initiate a registry update via the IMPORT control in the Allegiance Registry interface. Upon completion of the data transfer, the console display will refresh automatically without requiring manual intervention.

Stellar Diameter Unit Conversion

Stellar diameter readouts have been converted from kilometres to solar diameter units (☉). This modification aligns console output with standard IISS stellar catalogue notation. The operator should note that underlying data remains unchanged; only the display format has been adjusted.

Planetoid Belt Survey Refinements

The planetoid belt survey display has been modified. RESOURCE RATING values now appear with hexadecimal notation and descriptive classification text. Temperature and orbital period fields have been removed from the primary readout to reduce display clutter. The composition type formerly designated OTHER (ICE) now appears as OTHER. These modifications do not affect stored survey data.

Console Footer Indicators

Navigation indicators in the console footer have been replaced with standardized glyph symbols. The repository link, usage notice, and delta log access points are now represented by compact iconographic elements. This modification reduces visual interference while maintaining full navigational capability.

Orbital Body Density Parameter

The System Generation Module now accepts an orbital body density modifier in build specifications. When the DENSITY parameter (0–30) is provided, the generator automatically computes terrestrial planet, planetoid belt, and gas giant populations using standard IISS density tables as documented in the Referee's Handbook. Operators may continue to specify explicit body counts when precise orbital configurations are required. The counts schema now requires either a density value or all three explicit count parameters.

Planetoid Belt Composition Readout

The Astrogation Console now displays planetoid belt composition data in standard IISS nomenclature. Belt survey outputs have been upgraded from abbreviated type codes (M-TYPE, S-TYPE, C-TYPE, O-TYPE) to full classification descriptors: METALLIC, STONY, CARBONACEOUS, and OTHER (ICE). All composition values are now expressed as percentage of total belt mass. The operator should note that these modifications enhance readability without alteration to underlying survey data.

Console Delta Log

A revision tracking facility has been integrated into the Astrogation Console. The DELTA LOG provides operators with a chronological record of system modifications and enhancements. Access is available via the Δ indicator located in the console footer. The operator may consult this log to review functional changes between console revisions.

Technical Reference Codex

The Operations Manual is now accessible via the information indicator in the console header. The REFERENCE CODEX provides an automatically indexed catalogue of all available documentation modules. As new reference materials are installed, the codex will update its directory listing without requiring manual intervention by the operator.
