Weird, you can't go straight there, but if you go to Obsidian Portal, open Traveller campaigns, Mustered Out on Mertactor, you'll get another write up. The answer to the OP's question is - of course - "It depends." If your Travellers are just going there and you don't plan an adventure, use...

How long would it take for a smashed planet's core to cool enough to work? Could the once core asteroids be worked while still close to core temperatures?

duh, I'll take DURP for $1000 Alex. :cool:

Here is my current list of scenarios and hooks set in Lunion. "Fixer" is the standard "I have misplaced a McGuffin, and I am looking for people of discretion to recover it for me." Merchant means "I have a cargo...", and escort means "I need firepower." Usually a bodyguard, but sometimes an...

<Thread Drift> I know it came up some where, but has anybody considered that if a month consists of four weeks, there are thirteen of them in a year? If you do repairs in four week increments, your year ends somewhere in early December (Trav Equiv). Personal suggestion is to do twelve months of...

LOL. It's pretty standard IMTU that when a scout jumps into a system with a scout base, the greeting is "Welcome to the system! Bye the way, near where you arrived are a couple of empty reusable drop tanks. Do a solid and bring them in for us?"

Because "cop" is slang, I am going with Book 10: Peelers. 😃

Is the Jo secret base at Fulacin still canon? That never made sense to me: It seemed to be just a provocation waiting to happen, but accomplishing nothing. Rhylanor being the key would have it make at least some sense.

This is an adventure hook. IIRC there is at least one scenario dealing with this exact event. The missing ship numbers between two systems is statistically higher than it should be, not enough for the Imperium to Red Zone jumps, but enough for insurers to be alarmed. The reason is IIRC there is...

Hmnn. I notice that the shortest mask is one day six hours. Perhaps the original creator felt that less than a day was immaterial.

I don't know how useful this table will be to anyone, and I don't know where I found this (guessing COTI), but sometime prior to December 2017, somebody calculated all the jump masks for the Spinward Marches. It's canon IMTU. The forum software doesn't like my table extension, so here's a down...

Couldn't the administration ruling Fulacin just ask? 😃

How old does a Vargr have to be before one starts losing eyesight?

IMTU it's retro-future: Based on what fifties to seventies era SF writers thought the future would be like. So it's what Piper, Norton, or Tubb thought up, and if those people didn't conceive of it, it doesn't happen in MTU. So you can have Low-Light or IR goggles, but tying them all to a...

Don't forget US Secret Service/Pretorial Guard: At least in some incarnations the Imperial Bodyguard is a Scout unit. :cool:
