Emperor Mongoose
I agree with you but would go a little further.
The Mongoose Third Imperium is an ATU, it has too many differences with the CT->T5 OTU most of which come down to one of two factors:
an author who doesn't have enough background knowledge about what the setting can and can not include to maintain setting consistency and thus want to include everything from Star Wars;
an author who just makes stuff up regardless of prior canon or even the rules as written
(a third factor is the "inner circle" not really knowing the setting as well as they should, even MWM who on the one hand says he is bound by canon and then on the other retcons TNE out of existence).
T5 only details Third Imperium "universe" technology - no warp drives, wormhole drives, hyperdrives for example.
This book appears to make up new rules for a system that already exists and should have just been used as it is in HG.
