Traveller Version

This section deals with the OTU History and (ATU and IMTU Alternate History) of the Traveller universes.

  • Where versions of Traveller differ from the canon time line, this is noted.
  • This view is humano-centric, as almost all characters are assumed to be human.
  • Dates are given using the Third Imperium dating system unless otherwise noted.
  • Please see Date Conversion for more information.
  • Please also see Category:Milieus or Milieu.

Description (Specifications)

With nearly forty years of history as of early 2017 and an authorship of hundreds of individuals, perhaps thousands, Traveller history in game terms is pretty hard to coordinate and align. FFE and Marc Miller determine what the canon OTU is, but that doesn't discount other Traveller history, it just means that you as a fan and reader can integrate it into your own ATU or IMTU.
