Traveller:The New Era Main Rulebook (Book) Synopsis
Traveller: The New Era (1992-1995) was published by Game Designers' Workshop. The game mechanics were changed to Game Designers' Workshop's standardized rules system which had originally appeared in the second edition of Twilight: 2000.
It introduced the Virus and described the former area of the Third Imperium after interstellar society had completely collapsed. The game is often referred to as "TNE". Set in the Reformation Coalition, the game revolves around re-contact of the former imperial planets after the effects of many years of no interstellar trade.
Traveller:The New Era Main Rulebook (Book) Description
From The Back Cover
A CIVILZATION READY TO RE-AWAKEN...
But it cannot do so by itself. Three generations ago, a star-spanning society annihilated itself in a furious war. The final weapon in this war was a new form of life-a malevolent electronic race that hates life itself. But among the ruin, lif is stirring-a civilization is waiting to be rebuilt.
You are one of those rebuilders, and you know that to regain the stars, humanity must be willing to regain the stars, humanity must be willing to pay the bill for a generation of carnage and destruction. That bill can only be paid with audacity, courage, dogged determination. You are bold enough to pay that price, because you've seen what passes for existence in the ruins of civilization, and it's not good enough. Not by a long shot.
Winning the stars was never easy, but you‘re going to make that new future-one world at a time. It's time for a New Era.
Meta-history & Background
Included with 'Fire, Fusion, & Steel was a small format 16-page booklet called, Traveller: The New Era Upgrade Booklet. This contained updates to the original Traveller: The New Era rulebook and errata for Fire, Fusion & Steel itself. The rational behind the booklet was described as follows.
"For the publication of FF&S, we have created design sequences which are much more comprehensive than those we used when designing equipment for the TNE rulebook. Much of the TNE equipment has therefore been redesigned according to the FF&S sequences, and is included in this upgrade booklet. In addition, several rules additions and errata are included as well.
"There are limitations to what can be included in a book of this size. All information on starship upgrades is already available in Brilliant Lances.
"All of this material will be incorporated into the TNE second printing, which can be recognised by the phrase, 'Mk I Mod 1 (December 1993)' on its title page."
