Is Mars terraformed in the Traveller universe?

Is that like when Star Trek uses a technology just one time and then forgets about it for the rest of the series?

Not exactly... Beltstrike was a late CT product, IIRC.

Well, it's kind of like STTNG ignoring the implied ability to travel FTL on impulse drives from STTOS and STTAS.

Daft question - but which science texts have you ever seen that call earth Terra?

IIRC this is dealt with somewhere. Basically it's a political decision by the world government to call it that when dealing with aliens.

That's... significant. Not sure I can buy it either. Seems it would take a LOT to the 100th power to destroy even the small Martian moons. I can't recall reading that, is it from CT AM6?

...nope, not AM6. Nor Supp 10. I'll wait for an answer

I wasn't aware of that either.

You might check Invasion: Earth...

I wasn't sure, since Terra kind of replaced Earth. Or am I thinking of the wrong name for the Solomani capital?

"Terra" is Latin for "Earth." Hence, Terra and Earth are the same planet.

Are you metagaming?
