Beyond and TL17 Worlds
Replies:
Hi there! I'm a new member of the TML, although I've played Traveller in its various incarnations for several years. In catching up on the discussions in this group, a couple of questions for y'all came to mind -- Some time ago, there was a discussion about the validity of the Paranoia Press version of the Beyond map, and the question came up whether Digest Group had plans in that direction or not. I don't know either, but someone who has a copy of the old Beyond map might be able to tell something. In Trav.Digest #20, the Trojan Reach map shows a gov't called the Florian League in subsector E of the sector which seems to stretch into subsector H of the Beyond. If this gov't doesn't exist on the old PP map, then the Beyond has been totally wiped. Despite the problems this might cause (Garonne/Haldensleben was referred to in both GDW's "Azhanti High Lightning" and as part of PP's "Vanguard Reaches" sector) this might not be all bad. The old Vanguard Reaches had _four_ TL17 worlds, three of which were Zhodani clients...in comparison to the single one in the entire Imperium. Which brings me to number two -- what's the deal with Sabmyqys? From what I understand, there once was an article or reference to them in JTAS, may it rest in peace. :) Would somebody *please* clue me in to some info about them? I'm very curious about this elusive race who somehow has managed to flaunt the apparent fluke of probability that keeps the Imperium in general at TL16 and below.... :) Thank you in advance, - - --Steve - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Yes, I'm sure the virushi is a very _nice_ being, but I don't think it'd be a good idea to shake her hand...."
