My gaming group has started on a "Grand Tour" style campaign in my ATU. I suppose I did offer it as one of the choices, so I've only got myself to blame. A lot of work is forthcoming for me to try and fill in the blanks as they progress through the ATU. Any help discussing the points below would be appreciated.
The ATU is set in the late Interstellar Wars period and splits from the OTU timeline before first contact between the Terrans and the Vilani. The premise is that the Kimashargur movement described in Gurps:Interstellar Wars was successful in breaking away (with a Battle of the Line type defence of Dingir). I've moved the contact with the Vargr a little earlier to the OTU and the pressures closer to home have forced the Ziru Sirka to move their focus away from the frontier. The Terrans made contact with the Kimashargur Free Worlds and there was a single Interstellar War.
I've based the Solomani Rim on the Galactic 2.4 Interstellar Wars period files, modified by the data in Gurps:IW. As the players head in to Vilani space, I'm going to need to start of with Hard Times type conversions. I seem to remember there's an online UWP converter somewhere. Does anyone know where this is? It'd save me a lot of time going through the Hard Times book, applying the various stages by hand.
The further they go, they will come across more stable systems. These I need to convert from the Classic Period data. I've thought this would either be Milieu 0 type UWPs, or Classic Period type UWPS capped at TL11. Any thoughts anyone? If Milieu 0, does anyone know of conversion rules? There don't seem to be any in the Milieu 0 campaign book, or the T4 rulebook.
Does anyone know where the various client races described in Gurps:IW home worlds are?
Anakundu - Nuiya, Mikadira Sector (where is this?)
Answerin - near Vland (anyone know where?)
Bwaps - Marhaban (where is it?)
Dishaan - 20 world polity (centred where?)
Suerrat - 24 world polity (centred where?)
Finally, are there any Vilani sector names, subsector names, world names
documented past those described by the Galactic 2.4 Solomani Rim files for the Interstellar Wars period and Gurps:IW?
