The Solomani Rim contains more history, honor, and horrors than any other part of Charted Space. Expore it today!
The Solomani Rim sector lies at the rimward edge of the Third Imperium. It is an ancient, densely populated region. For 6,000 years, the Solomani Rim has been a place of epic revolutions and wars. Today it remains a flashpoint for galactic conflict . . . The Third Imperium occupies hundreds of worlds, including Terra, the human homeworld. But much of the sector is under the control of the despotic Solomani Confederation.
Rim of Fire covers the Solomani Rim Sector in detail. Writeups for over 400 worlds are included. Some are described in great detail, providing instant adventure settings, while others are merely sketched in to allow the individual GM to customize his campaign. There is also an extensive history of the sector, including detailed descriptions of the Interstellar Wars and the rise of the Solomani Movement. And, of course, there are campaign and adventure seeds, and a trove of referee's information.
The Solomani Rim has always been a place where the actions of individual heroes could change the course of history. Today there are still many challenges for the GURPS Traveller player. . . on the Rim of Fire!

Meta-history & Background (Dossier)
GURPS Traveller: Rim of Fire has many contradictions with previous data and parts of it have been declared non-canon for the official FFE OTU.
- It's still perfectly fine for IMTU or GURPS Traveller universes of course!
