Mike, you (with some serious help from Nick, Mark, and Bertil)
DID write a Traveller novel... :=)
On to NeoTraveller...
Has anyone asked about how, why characters carry personal firearms
everywhere? And why and how do local governments put up with it?
It seems that with humans, NOTHING scares the local "officials" more
than having an outsider be a direct threat to their perceived power
base. The logical outcome in the balkanization "Star Viking"
presumes is intensely high law levels and petty warlords.
This does not bode well for science.
