'''FLASHBACK'''
 
 
 
'''Historical adventuring in the Imperium's past.'''
 
 
 
Somewhere, ages ago, a squad caught the edges of a devastating radiation blast. Rather than die lonely deaths, its members swore a pact to seek out a cure, then they retired to cold sleep. Every time they awake, they come out in a nexus of history. They are there when the Long Night falls, when the Imperium is founded, when Nicholle is assassinated, when the Civil War ends, and more. They are travellers in time the only way possible forward, ever forward. And their greatest challenge awaits them when they reach the present!

'''GURPS Traveller: Imperial Navy'''
 
A book long on the wish list, and still seen on the list of GURPS Traveller books. A manuscript for this book was written, and went into playtest. Shortly after the playtest was completed, the book was withdrawn for unknown reasons. A second manuscript was written by [[Martin Dougherty]] and [[Neil Frier]] but never made it into the first edit.
 
 
 
Several years later Martin published his manuscript, minus the game rules, as [[Grand Fleet]].
