Aliens in Traveller

"T20 uses D20 Fantasy as its core, since it predates D20M by over a year."

Is there any difference in the D20 Fantasy and D20 Modern in the bits that Traveller T20 uses? I thought that they just use the same Char Gen.

T20 uses the "profession based" class concepts of D&D instead of the "personal development/stat based" class concept of D20 Modern. As this is also, in many ways, the difference between strong class structure and weak class structure, it is a bone of contention. Since T20 discarded multi-classing penalties and largely avoided strong class features in favor of pools of class-oriented bonus feats, it is arguable that it is already more than halfway to D20 Modern as written. It is certainly neither fish nor fowl, and also eschews the overt heroism of both WotC products for the grit that one gets from a universally lethal combat system.
 
The Gateway Campaign Sourcebook states that it lists stats for the Collected and D20 Travellers. It came out in 2004, but doesn't have a required rules set listed?

I thought the State of the Mongoose was the UK...

Still, it's got to be much better than the state of actual countries these days.

Except for the few items of rules for aliens or similar, its a setting book.
