Third Imperium

Third Imperium

The campaign will take place within the Third Imperium, using the GURPS: Traveller rules. The game is set in 1120 in the alternative timeline provided in the GURPS: Traveller sourcebooks in which Archduke Dulinor does not assassinate Emperor Strephon in 1116 and set off a civil war resulting in  the collapse of the Imperium and the release of a semi-sentient computer virus that renders interstellar civilization virtually impossible. Instead, in this timeline, Archduke Dulinor was killed in a shuttle accident in 1116 and the Third Imperium continued uninterrupted.

I note that this is my version of the Third Imperium, and I am incorporating a fair number of elements from other GURPS sourcebooks, and I may of may not change other setting details as I see fit. In general, the information found in the various Traveller books up through The New Era is probably generally reliable, but I don't warrant that anything is completely accurate in this version of the setting unless it appears here.
