Here's an early timeline of tech level in the region that I established to try and keep things straight. The great difficulty is keeping in mind that both the different human populations in the Lions Mane and the Aslan from different clans likely had a substantial spread in tech levels, meaning...

I seeded the minor races in Aldebaran, Langere, and Neworld but I don't think I have much for details; I wanted to leave it open for someone more ambitious to fill in later. I used the CT Hiver world generation sequence which I think threw out those minor races, but I also checked to make sure...

Mercenary companies are common inside the Aslan Hierate and within the Buffer that separates the Hierate from the Third Imperium. The entire region teems with conflicts large and small being fought at a wide variety of tech levels. Given all this, Mercenary is another Mongoose Traveller book...

Interesting. I had turned in the manuscript before World Builder's Handbook was out, but your shipyard capacity number is similar to what would be produced with MgT Trillion Credit Squadron: 11.2 million displacement tons. I had generated the 10k capacity number using GURPS Traveller: Starports...

Trokh words are really hard -- sometimes they look cool but are like marbles in the mouth. If you have an alternate pronunciation -- particularly one that is easier for a human from 21st century Terra, I'm all ears. At one point I had developed "Galangicized" names for some of the big clans...

For what it's worth, I do prefer buuksasu rather than buuksus, if only for aesthetic reasons. I blame the Interstellar Wars-era grammar book that I used for reference. :) Everyone knows that the 23th edition of the Qingling Vilani Primer (copyright -2343) is unreliable on a variety of...

Yeah, that section is probably not clear enough. My idea was that the two sides were mostly "native" TL6-7, with some limited access to TL8+ equipment. The Hrawoao tipped the balance by providing a stream of TL8 materiel, allowing the Tiylaa side to contend with the larger Sosan side.

Good catches yet again, thanks so much for your keen eye! "Drexilthara Main" is intentional, originating with the Keith Brothers. (Though it could have been an error -- they didn't have the benefit of your review!) The Traveller Map data has been updated, though note that Iyaiah (DARK 1925)...

Thanks so much for the kind words: this was a very fun and challenging project to work on. Of course, I could only do it by standing on the shoulders of Giants. A lot of good work had been done on these sectors (https://greatdungeonnorth.blogspot.com/2023/12/the-deep-and-dark.html) that is well...

Although I like reading about the very large capital ships and megafreighters, very few vessels above 5,000 tons ever get used in my Traveller games. So I have been grooving on the Adventure Class Ships book for a few months now. Many of these vessels would be very much at home in either...

Thanks again -- I was rounding down tonnage for the drives and cargo. When I don't, my numbers line up with yours.

Thanks for going through the math on the ships -- I was incorporating the High Guard 22 update but wasn't 100% I caught all the tweaks. I agree with the armor change, but I'm not sure about the J-drive. I had it at 27 tons and MCr40.5, resulting in a cargo of 19 tons and Purchase Price of MCr127.35.

Awesome! Thanks for this.

I can't access my notes right this moment, but I think I pulled that back because the theory wasn't proposed until after 1105 -- but if so there should have been a note in "Secrets and Revelations" that I must have missed.

These are all also good catches, thanks.
