Book 3 Worlds and Adventures created the UWP, and helped to flesh out the OTU of Classic Traveller.
Description (Specifications)
Book 3 concerns the alien worlds and star systems that can be encountered in the far reaches of the universe. The referee is concerned with that part as he or she generates those worlds before the travellers arrive. Later, the players are concerned with the same data as they explore and investigate the world they have travelled to. [1]
