Far Frontiers Sector/meta

Hans Rancke Comment (April 2011)

This sector is the setting of a number of adventures written by the Keith brothers (J. Andrew Keith, William H. Keith, Jr.), including the Sky Raiders trilogy.

Tjoneslo Comment (August 2011)

A Far Frontiers sector supplement manuscript detailing the coreward half of the sector was prepared for FASA by Dale L. Kemper, but not published by FASA. Most of the content later appeared in Ares Magazine (Special #2) and the Traveller Chronicle
