Core Supplement?

[richard gorman]

Just a quick question for hardened grognards. Has there ever been a full blown official treatment of the Core and/or Capital? We have the Classic and GURPS Marches / Behind the Claw, Sword Worlds, Solomani Rim and now Deneb et al from Mongoose but has anyone ever produced a full detailed volume on the Capital and it's neighbours? I've been following the GURPS Imperium survives timeline in my own campaign but I'd be curious to know if it's been done for any vaguely canonical setting. You can infer a bit from GURPS Nobles etc but a seriously sophisticated and detailed portrait of the heart of a gigantic interstellar civilisation would be fascinating.

"Vaguely canonical" would be in Traveller's Digest #8-11, published by DGP (thus the "vaguely" label). Capital itself is in #9.

Marc Miller's current writing circle will probably get to it at some point, particularly since T5 has altered the noble landscape a bit from what was described (most recently) in GT Nobles and MGT Spinward Marches. No idea where it is in terms of priority, though.

One or two of the old DGP Traveller Digest magazines did some Library Data on Core Sector as their "Across the Imperium" campaign story-arc unfolded. Also, T4:Milieu 0 has information on the Core, but it is set in Imperial Year 0-200, so it is "history" by the time of the Milieu 1100-1120 Campaign.

EDIT: I see GypsyComet gave the DGP:TD references while I was typing.

Gurps Nobles has additional information on personas and some locations but not many.

For additional information, there is GURPS: Humaniti (possibly) for information on the Syleans, who are the original human inhabitants prior to the Vilani and Solomani, coming to the system.
