- In 1990, MegaTraveller Alien - Vilani & Vargr was published.
- In 1991, MegaTraveller Alien - Solomani & Aslan was published.

DCorrin Notes (2007)
Spica sector was the subject of a complete refurbishment by Spica Publishing Ltd.
- This project originally had the approval of Marc Miller, and a Spica Sector EPIC Sourcebook was to have been published in due course. However, the advent of Mongoose Traveller changed everything, and all bets on the OTU were off. Luckily, one man and his fanzine, Flynn of Stellar Reaches, talked to Mongoose and ensured that "free stuff", even if it was set in the OTU, was ok by them.
- So, keep watching, Spica fans - The Stellar Reaches Spica Sector Special Supplement is coming ...
