The GURPS Traveller sourcebook for the Spinward Marches Sector and nearby regions.
Description
Behind the Claw: Slang phrase referring to those regions of the Third Imperium lying beyond the Great Rift. Almost a year from the Capital by XBoat, the Spinward Marches is a frontier region, scene of Five Frontier Wars and innumerable skirmishes. The Marches is one of the most troubled regions of the entire Imperium.
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.
- Seek your fortune as a free trader plying the Spinward Main…
- Lead your mercenary company to repulse Vargr raiders…
- Salvage the wrecks left behind by the Fifth Frontier War…
- Engage in industrial espionage among the Megacorporations of the Imperium…
- Explore ancient ruins on an airless moon…
- 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
GURPS Traveller: Behind the Claw has many contradictions with previous data for the Spinward Marches Sector and has been declared non-canon for the FFE OTU.
It's still perfectly fine for IMTU or GURPS Traveller universes of course!
