Behind the Claw details the Spinward Marches, a complete sector of space for GURPS Traveller. Over 400 star systems are described in detail, along with essays on the Imperial Nobility and system of government, a detailed history of the region, Game Master’s information, current events and a wealth of adventure material. The setting is rich and diverse, with unlimited scope for campaigns.

Broker a peace settlement on the volatile Border Worlds…
Join the stubborn landholders of District 268, holding on what’s theirs against alien invaders…
Race to the rescue of a distressed merchant vessel!

Meta-history & Background[edit]

GURPS Traveller: Behind the Claw has many contradictions with previous data for the Spinward Marches Sector and many 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!
