Thank you.

Animals and Ecosystems? Ooh, nice!

And Rim Expeditions? Is this, I wonder, the project connected to the fleshing out of Storr Sector on Traveller Map?

It's not. That was me testing World Builder's Handbook routines. And placing the example system.

 

[TrippyHippy]

Can I confirm that Aliens of Charted Space 3 is actually the 9th book in the Charted Space series? I thought it was Secrets of the Ancients which I am sure was released beforehand. It may affect my next purchase!

 

[kajishun]

From my library, I can confirm Secrets of the Ancients is #11. I can only surmise Aliens of Charted Space is #9. And the Mongoose Publishing peeps confirmed #9 above.

 

[MongooseBella]

Aliens of Charted Space is #9, Secrets of the Ancients is #11

 

[Loudgreen]

Did I miss something? I haven't seen Animals and Ecosystems on any list other than this.

 

[Vormaerin]

The other lists are "things that are close enough to being done that we have a timeline". Animals and Ecosystems has been mentioned here and there, but it doesn't seem to be close to production.

I more just put it on there so I don't forget to put it on there - the new books on this list are still subject to change (until the numbers are on the spines and off to the printers!

So, does the Imperial Navy have a spine code? I’m assuming it is associated with the books found in the Element Class Cruisers box set, as the colour scheme is similar to the Naval Campaign sourcebook. However, the Mercenary box set has three associated books with spinal codes also (Field Catalogue, Specialist Forces and Mercenaries of Charted Space), so I was wondering.....

It does not - it has a 'special' cover to mark it out, and may (may!) end up being part of a dedicated mini-series that focusses on specific elements of the Imperium and beyond.

 

[The King]

What about the Drinax Campaign?

 

[MongooseMatt]

What about the Drinax Campaign?

Doesn't have a spine code, as it is kinda its own thing (same with The Imperial Navy).

 

[kajishun]

Where does Adventure Class Ships fit in?

 

[deHap]

The spincodes make me crazy. want to have aliens of charted space 1 to 4 next to each other, but want also the number sequence to be okay. Waaargh

Worse, the spines of 2-3 say "Volume", but the spine of 1 says "Vol.". (Yes, I notice this sort of thing.)

Shit now I can't unsee anymore. Didn't catch that one yet.

This one has been caught, and will be fixed in a reprint. Sorry about that, it was a case of two different graphic artists approaching the same thing in a different way, and we did not catch it until the second volume had gone to print.
