Is there an actual Vargr dictionary anywhere? I searched but didn't find one. There was a Aslan dictionary of sorts on the Traveller Wiki and I used it to name my Aslan planets when I was making my System maps. I am now updating my work for the Spinward Marches and Regina has a few worlds...

One issue that may be putting people off making a Vargr Extents book is the system names are just random letters. Unlike the Aslan where someone made an effort to create a language the Vargr are probably too diverse to have a standard language. A handful of the systems across the border from...

Piracy, or Privateering as it is in this case, is both for profit and for politics. Drinax has Asim as a colony but it really doesn't have a huge range of goods to sell. Plus there are other pirate groups in the region operating out of Theev and of course the Oghma raiders. So you are a thief...

Military is different from civilian. In time of war all available resources will be diverted to production. For example the USA was producing more ships and aircraft a day than they produced in a year if you compare 1945 to 1920. Civilian ship construction is more constrained by the need to...

The best way to handle this is via role play and using social and other skills. You want to sell your ship and by a new one? First you need the mortgage holder's approval as you don't own the whole ship. Then you need to find a buyer for your ship who has the millions of Cr to pay for it...

Live support isn't just oxygen. Life support is heating and cooling, lighting, C02 scrubbing, water reprocessing, waste storage, recycling or disposal, and food and water. Staterooms allow comfort and privacy. In theory you can have a sophant for every square meter of space, but those sophants...

Much like the real world there would be many Starports and Orbital facilities capable of building small space and starships - say up to 400 tons - but has the size gets larger the number of shipyards able to construct them gets smaller. A Class A Starport on a major trade route surrounded by...

Smuggling occurs for two main reasons.... 1. Something is illegal but there is a demand for it 2. Something is heavily taxed or regulated so people look for a cheaper / blackmarket supply Illegal stuff is weapons, narcotics, information, even media. Heavily regulated and taxed stuff is...

Why Piracy? The closest RL example I can think of is Elizabethan England. You have a relatively tiny nation on the edge of a massive, hostile polity (Catholic Europe or the Aslan in PoD). You need wealth not just to survive but also to expand. You can trying starting colonies, building up...

As part of my project to create Planet information cards and System Maps for a number of Subsectors I have created a number of Planets that aren't the named planet from those systems. The above images are just a sample, there are many more. This is in a Drop Box I have set up. I have set it up...

That makes sense. Thanks for the reply.

It seems to be considered spam but I have created a large number of Planets and Star Systems using the official Mongoose 2e and Wiki information. I have set up a Dropbox to access all these images. Currently I am working on District 268 and have completed Egyrn, Five Sisters, Menorial, Pax...

That makes sense. Thank you for the reply.

Really late here but I only just noticed. The Tanith System Map on page 92 has the wrong orientation. All the other maps have the top facing to the left, but Tanith has the top facing to the right of the page. In fact going through the pdf again there is no consistancy. Some maps have the top...

Another possible change. The Planet Plainchant, third planet of the main system in The Inurin System, has the following trade codes: Ag Ga Ni on the system map on page 183. However the description of Plainchant on page 182 is as follows. Plainchant is a desert world with little life, located...
