History & Background (Dossier)
In the earliest days of Classic Traveller leading to MegaTraveller and TNE, GDW staff and their gaming groups formed the core development group for Traveller. Fan groups existed alongside the GDW staffers, but after GDW fell so did much or the organized development of the game and OTU. Groups like HIWG and BITS helped to fill in the gaps and eventually the Traveller Inner Circle arose.
