Welcome to Basilisk Station
Hello and welcome! I've started this blog to share the creation of my own Foreven sector in Traveller. Of course, you may be asking yourself, what the heck are those?! First off, Traveller is a tabletop RPG first released in 1977. It has gone through many iterations:
- Classic Traveller (the 1977 version)
- MegaTraveller
- Traveller: The New Era
- Traveller 4
- Traveller GURPS
- Traveller D20
- Traveller HERO
- Mongoose Traveller
- Traveller5
- Mongoose Traveller, 2nd Edition
I started playing Classic Traveller in the early 1980s, and it has been my longtime RPG (despite a hiatus of playing for a number of years--you know, like work and stuff getting in the way). I do play others (Star Wars, Genesys, and Cyberpunk 2020)--but Traveller is the one I keep returning to.
Traveller, simply put, is a science fiction RPG taking place in the far future (nearly 5,000 years). It is centered around the Third Imperium, an empire spanning 11,000 worlds, but other polities exist. The Solomani Confederation, the Zhodani Consulate, the Aslan Hierate, the Vargr Extents, the Hive Confederation, and the Two Thousand Worlds are the other major entities, but thousands of others exist. As the blog progresses, I'll touch on a few of these, I suspect.
Charted (or Known) Space (the place where these governmental entities exist) is broken up into sectors and then subsectors. You can get a glorious view of it all at Traveller Map. A sector is the Imperial way of organizing Charted Space and is composed of a grid that is 32 by 40 parsecs, which is further subdivided into 16 subsectors of 8 by 10 parsecs--a parsec is 3.26 light years. Earth's (Terra in Traveller) closest neighbor, Proxima Centauri, is 1.3 parsecs (4.2 light years) away.
The Foreven sector is a special referee's preserve in Traveller--in that it will not be developed officially beyond what is already there. The official statement is here.
This means that referees are free to develop everything about it. Below is the sector map to which I've added the Zhodani Consulate border (the Consulate dominates the coreward section of the sector). The rest of the sector is free from allegiances (unless the referee says so). Only a few of the systems and planets are defined. Many systems are indicated, but are free of any detail (and could be easily removed or additional ones added).
That's the blank (nearly) slate, and I intend to start building this out for my Traveller campaign purposes. Below is the official sector information in the standard sector information format, and this blog is devoted to my progress on building out systems and worlds (using Mongoose Traveller, 2nd Edition).
If you aren't familiar with Imperial Universal World Profile (UWP) nomenclature, that's okay. I'll define it in upcoming posts (or you can read ahead and see the explanation here).
