 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 canon, and 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 TravellerHowever, recently 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. Initially, it was focused on my own take on Traveller-like setting for my YAGS RPGbut 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.

-[[./goldenage/index]]+My [[./goldenage/index|Golden Age]] resources are designed for the 3rd Imperium, circa 1105, primarily based around Mongoose Traveller 2nd edition. They are pretty standard Traveller, and should be fairly system agnostic and hopefully useful to any type of Traveller campaign.
  
-===== Mapping =====+It includes ship designs, maps, equipment, background details and notes which are generic across all of my campaigns. Some of the information will be published first on my blog.

 +===== Mapping and World Generation =====
  
 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.
