I had an interesting thought to share with you. What if MegaTraveller
and TNE are just the 'dark future' *fiction* of the Classic Traveller
universe? Strephan was never assassinated, except in underground
comics. That could also explain the huge number of typos.
MegaTraveller and TNE are put out from someone's basement. Perhaps
they are funded by SORAG? Some rich brat with too much money? And
perhaps there are even some very low tech, backwater planets that
actually believe it.

Here are some useful news articles. They are in need of polishing up
due to my being at work without any sourcebooks.
132-1231 Capitol/Core: The Imperial government today announced that
the rumors of Emperor Strephan's death are greatly exaggerated. All
citizens are urged to report sources of such rumors to the nearest
Bureau of State Security office.
132-1231 Trin/Trin's Veil: The "Arrivial Vengance" which had been
missing from orbital dock returned today. The Vengance reported
that the Imperium has NOT fallen, and that the Emperor Strephan is
in good health.
170/1231 Esalin/Jewell: The Zhodani Government exchanged long lost
Imperial citizen Mark Miller for an undesclosed number of Imperial
captured Zhodani spies. The captured spies had been attempting to
incite rebellion within the Imperium. The spies were captured days
earlier in a raid by the IISS.
