Vland sector received pretty good treatment in Vilani & Vargr, and GURPS did excellent books on both the minor races and human minor races.

True, but V&V (aka Dogs and Cogs)is probably permanently unavailable, and has been for -dear lord, twenty years ?

GURPS is good though, and, IIRC pdf available.
 
I like what MGT has done with the Spinward Marches, but I think overall the that sector has been done to death thru them and other publishers.

From a time period standpoint, someone mentioned not wanting to do the past. I do not see how to avoid it. By staying in the past, MGT avoids the the potential Assassination and Virus fan rifts. Unless of course they do Heat Death of the Universe, which Marc Miller has blurbed, just a blurb, in some publications. :D . The 3I will likely be not even a memory by then.

In the past, there are a few exciting times.
War of the Admirals could get you Core Sector, Which admiral will you support, will you ally with the one raiding your system for supplies, pressganging your crew?

Psionics in Year 0 or 800 - Marc Miller's Traveller in Milleu 0 had an entire supplement called Psionics Institutes. While Psionics was not clearly understood, they were sufficiently common enough that you could randomly roll for an Institute in each system, with a Institue UPP developed because there were prevelant enough. Hmm. A psionics campaign without nagging Zhos or Imps on your back. Sounds good to me.

Aslan Border Wars. Fightin' the furless pink skins and taking their land.

Still, I would like to stay close to Solomani and Terra. So I will settle for Gateway. Unless they have, as our former governor Blagoyavich once said, "testicular fortitude", to do an out and out Solomani Rim War campaign, not as the board game (which I have). OK so I'm ethnocentric speciesist. Think of me as Commander Kor from OST "Errand of Mercy".

"It would have been, glorious!"

I'm not saying Mongoose shouldn't look at areas of the Imperium (or outside of it) that have yet to have any real coverage, I'd LOVE to see that in fact. But why not do a MGT coverage of Gateway Domain, either set circa year 990-1000 or circa year 1105? Or if they just want to do one sector, of Ley or Gateway sector? There's IMO a lot of minor races in that area that are worth merit if nothing else. I'd love to see more about the one of the minor human races there, the Luriani for instance.

I know I'm coming into this a tad late (what's a year between friends). But there were three articles on the Luriani on JTAS last year.
