I don't have anything constructive to offer, but I wanted to say that I think it's great that your sons' character ideas are "Han Solo type" and "A slugcat". 😁 I'm imagining a visit to Tech-World, or maybe Floria, with the slugcat taking up spear and just disappearing into the foundations...

That is a good point. Perhaps we should assume it requires a very pure Vilani ancestry to have the longevity benefit, and that the average Imperial citizen is mostly Vilani with some Solomani and Minor Human Race ancestry, so that's the default in the mechanics. Long life comes from specifying...

"Personal log. Crewman Dzarrv expressed concerns that the native anti-insect sprays might have averse affects on Vargr biology, he read something about "possible hair loss". I insisted it was fine and that he should join the party. I'm currently hiding in the laundry room. I have to be quiet...

I do think the Mongoose art has supported the (logical) idea of a majority-Vilani Imperial populace. In a source like Deepnight Revelation, where we see illustrations of a number of crew, the majority have a "default" bronze skin tone (my understanding of Vilani being a mostly homogenous...

https://wiki.travellerrpg.com/Vargr_Languages Following any of the links here might help; there are distinct dictionary list pages for Gvegh, Aekhu, and Arrghoun (the root language for those two) -- and if you're on the Marches/Gvurrdon border, you want Gvegh --, and lesser lexicons for a lot...

My Clans of the Aslan arrived today. (y) I have word that The Borderland has been dispatched.

There is, as others have hinted, the Mongoose 1st Edition Vargr scourcebook which features Gvurrdon Sector, which is part of the Extents. Other than that, no map books currently, but much of the Extents (particularly the rimward parts) are detailed on Traveller Map and the wiki extrapolating...

The Pentapods. The Hivers, I feel I understand; in fact, there's a fair bit about their outlook that vaguely maps on to my own, at a stretch. It's one of the reasons why, despite the K'kree being my favourite faction, the Hivers are the one I probably sympathise with most. They're alien, but...

Why would two charismatic Vargr want to be in a relationship with the Phony Ko of Kusyu?

Thanks! I'll put it on the "buy eventually when funds are more freely available" list. Not that I begrudge it; I know there are lot of military and ex-military personnel who love Traveller, and I'm glad they're getting some meat, but it's low on my list.

People tying their brains in knots because of the popular trend for Hiver villains in political thrillers and mysteries, roles happily performed by Hivers themselves, to the point where people are generally worried that the Hivers are actual mastermind villains pulling off some complex...

I'm a little tight on money at the moment, and military-based sourcebooks tend to be the casualties of my periodic stinginess, but setting lore I love. How much new or interesting information is there on Zhodani and Darrian culture, the nature of their armies and equipment, attitudes to warfare...

Vilani word, "emperor, king; lord; president, director"

Sounds like a good plot arc for a long-term Traveller campaign (or series of such)! Something in the backdrop that can inform a lot of smaller plots or encounters. A non-Human corporation has achieved such success that some are starting to suggest that it might enter the "megacorp" tier, and the...
