Tech Levels of Races

[Shadowfax]

I am just working on some Traveller/Striker small arms tables and need to be sure that I have the maximum tech level correct for each of the races. I have:
Aslan TL13
Darrian TL 12/16 (a bit of a mix due to the older, but better tech)
Droyne TL??
Imperial TL15
K'Kree TL15
Vargr TL13
Sword Worlds TL12
Zhodani TL14

Can anyone confirm or deny this for me?

How do tech levels work over time. For example do the Aslan ever reach tech 15 and produce a FGMP15? Does anyone know?

According to GURPS Traveller, the maximum technology level of the Droyne
would be TL 16, with their average technology level around TL 9 to TL 11.

By the way, according to the same source the maximum technology level of
the Hivers would be TL 15.

Looking at GURPS Traveller Behind the Claw, the maximum technology level
for the Darrians should probably be TL 14 (16).

For Imperium, Sword Worlds and Zhodani I have the same maximum tech le-
vels as you listed.
Since I do not have the other GURPS Traveller Alien Races books here, I ha-
ve no data for Aslan, K'kree or Vargr.

FYI - I gleaned this Info from the Journal article on the Darrians just last night! I am just putting it here for anyone else's potential benefit.

Confederation Naval and Ground forces are maintained at TL 9-10.
Some crack units are maintained at TL 13.
Any TL 14 equipment has been purchased from the Darrian's chief ally - the Imperium.

Jacent and Darrian have naval forces and military units of TL 12+. Only Jacent and Darrian have battle dress forces.
All other planets have naval forces and military units of TL 9+. These planets also maintain navies of TL 7-9 and conduct in-System patrols, which are treated as planetary (local) navies.

One interesting note, in FFW there is a Merc outfit that is TL 16. Not much info on who they are (that I can remember), maybe a Darrian Merc group?

High Tech Darrian Mercs.

---------------Yeah! I remember them. Yes, I think they are supposed to be Darrian, but I can't remember where I read about it.

There are also a number of TL=16 Vargr worlds in Gvurrdon Sector. (AM 3 p. 49)
