I just remembered another source or two for Sword World's Information:
One of the first Double Adventures (#2 I think) was "Across the Bright
Face/Mission on Mithril". Mithril was at the time a Sword Worlds Planet.
The game "Fifth Frontier War" had information on the military units of all
of the combatants.
The Boxed adventure "Tarsus" had a detailed section on a group of Sword
World military refugees that co-habitated Tarsus. There may even be
passing reference to Sword World activities in the second boxed adventure
"BeltStrike". I'm sure BeltStrike mentions Darrian activities. Both of
the above adventures were set in District 268.
There are numerious mentions in the Traveller News Service of the early JTAS's.
Hope that this helps.
Chuck
P.S. I own originals of all the above material...
