Hiver Eye Stalks

[Sigtrygg]

All of this nonsense is solved by four simple letters:
IYTU
Seriously, when GDW Traveller sources over several editions aren't consistent with a truly trivial piece of information, then just frikkin' wing it and have done with it.

Every source in this case is consistent, only MgT does it differently.

It is indicative that either:
MGT authors do not know the setting well enough
MGT authors don't do research
MGT authors do not get help from people who do know this stuff
or it is deliberate change.

If the latter then why bother with the Third Imperium, write your own setting rather than overwrite someone else's?
If any of the first three Mongoose needs to ignore the inner circle and get people who have actually read the previous material.

I actually quite like the fact that Hiver information is slightly different in different sources. Given who the Hivers are, and all.

Will the real Hivers please stand up and show yourselves. Or send in a selfie.

They're all in Japan.

For this they are consistent. Classic Traveller, MegaTraveller, TNE, T4, GURPS Traveller, and Hero Traveller all match. I don't have access to Traveller T20. Mongoose Traveller 2E is different. I don't know what was in 1E. I don't have any of those books.
