God had the right idea
The long-delayed Lunion Subsector project is finally moving again. Writing Trojan Reach burned me out on world generation for a bit.
Lunion has about 35 worlds in it, and since I'm using GURPS Traveller: First In to do the worlds, each one requires a lot of work.. And this is just for the main worlds! I'm planning to go back through a do the fiddly bits for each secondary planet in each system.
Then I'm going to do write-ups on the society, cultures, defenses, notable personalties, the Storuden Cup Rollerball Tournament, etc..
This isn't for publication (partially because it goes against a great deal of Traveller "canon,") it's a labor of love. I'll end up putting it all on my website when I'm done. It's nice to write Traveller without having a deadline or editorial opinion hanging over my head.
A couple of interesting places:
A world much like Heinlein's Venus.. hot and wet. I've decided that this world eats colonies.. they just vanish, or fail. Now a new effort is underway...
A world where they are rabidly xenophobic, but also conditioned to be pacifists. Foreigners simply do not exist. Any contact is brief and unpleasant.
A gas giant moon, whose parent planet orbits 46 AU from its bloated red giant star (M6 iii). Because of the giant star's influence, the closet ships can get in faster-than-light drive is 208 AU. Very few bother to travel all the way into the system, and the colony has turned inward, making do with what they have.
And a cold hell of ammonia winds and caustic rains. 12 states compete for resources, each under a ruthless dictator.
So far, so good!
