 Spanning tens of thousands of star systems, the Imperium of humanity is a vast and complex web of politics, trade and military might all of which is defined by the physics of jump travel. There is no FTL communication except by sending a courier, and even the fastest couriers are limited to 6 parsecs/week. Spanning tens of thousands of star systems, the Imperium of humanity is a vast and complex web of politics, trade and military might all of which is defined by the physics of jump travel.

-The Traveller described here isn't entirely canonand there are some changes to the way things work in order to better fit the type of background I wantMostly the contents are based on GURPS Traveller, which itself is based on Classic TravellerHoweverrecently I've started running some Mongoose Traveller, and my notes for these sessions are available [[https://blog.notasnark.net/tag/traveller|on the blog]] or in the [[/islandsintherift/index|campaign section]].+There is a mix of different Traveller resources here. Initiallyit was focused on my own take on a Traveller-like setting for my YAGS RPG, but that is being moved to the [[https://yags-rpg.net/settings/traveller|YAGS site]], and the content here is being reserved for more standard Traveller.

 +The **Golden Age** of Traveller is the Third Imperium, circa 1105Most of the material here is for Mongoose Traveller 2nd edition, which is the current edition of the rules that I am using. 
 + 
 +It includes ship designsmapsequipment, background details and notes which are generic across all of my campaigns. Some of the information will be published first on [[https://blog.notasnark.net/tag/traveller|my blog]]

 +The 1984 computer game **Elite** was actually my first introduction to //Traveller//, though I didn't know it at the time. As a homage to the game that took up a lot of my childhood, I've started making game statistics, deck plans and 3D renders for the various ships of that game to bring them into the Traveller universe.

-===== Mapping ===== 
  
 The main Traveller project is to map all the worlds of the Imperium and surrounding systems. By map the worlds I mean provide surface maps and descriptions for the planets and moons of each star system. I'm estimating that this will be in the order of a million planets. The main Traveller project is to map all the worlds of the Imperium and surrounding systems.
