	There was a copy of the Compleat Starport article published in the HIWG fanzine
Starships, Starports & Vehicles Vol. 1 No. 3

	White Dwarf issue 22 and 43 both had articles on Starports. The latter "Happy
Landings: Starport Design in Traveller" was referred to me several times.

	Traveller Chronicle 4 has an article about them.

	MT: COACC has some notes about the ports.

	The T4 book Pocket Empires has a some rules for building ports, as they become
a key part of building your empire.
