A long time ago, when Emperor Strephon was believed dead and war wracked the Third Imperium, Foreven Sector was born. The brainchild of Greg Videll and Mike Mikesh (with Marc Miller's blessing), the sector was designated a "Referee's Preserve". Exempt from the eminent domain of official development, Foreven was a place where Traveller gaming groups could develop their own part of the Original Traveller Universe (OTU).
But, as sometimes happens in the industry, a good idea loses its luster and falls by the wayside. Such was the fate of Foreven Sector and the creation of licensed third party Traveller material. MegaTraveller was succeeded by The New Era; GDW faded from the industry continuum and the torch passed briefly to Imperium Games before IG faltered and took Traveller into its own Long Night in 1998.
A decade passed before Traveller emerged from its slumber and entered the era of the Open Game License (OGL). For some time, the OGL heralded a brave new frontier for Traveller -- returning to its role as the vehicle for universes beyond the OTU. Meanwhile, the Foreven Sector license quietly waited in the shadows for someone to make use of it.
While we are the third company to actively make use of the license to create a version of Foreven Sector, we hopefully won't be the last...
