Perseus Arm
Even before the people of Terra Prime developed Faster-Than-Light travel capabilities, they had observed evidence that they were not alone in the galaxy. When FTL became available, many thought that expeditions should seek out these neighbors who seemed to be among the stars nearer the galactic core.
But some feared what would happen when civilizations more advanced than theirs became aware of Terrans. A quick look through the history of Terran cultures - millenia of conquest and colonial exploitation - made it easy to envision unhappy outcomes for humanity. These thought it wiser to seek out regions of space that showed no obvious signs of civilization or intelligent life. There, they would settle so that when Terra Prime was inevitably overrun and conquered by more advanced races, Humanity would survive.
Instead of looking toward the core of the galaxy, they looked outward - away from any discerned signs of intelligent life. They looked to the stars of the Perseus Arm.
Perseus Arm is a setting for the players of the Traveller RPG to explore. An alternative to the established "Charted Space" setting, it offers new worlds to explore. New species will be introduced: new playable intelligent races as well as interesting flora and fauna. Merchant/trading mechanics are tweaked, and tools for providing a more balanced approach to in-game economy are provided. Every system includes notable NPCs and potential plot hooks as well - everything a Referee needs whether they're running a one-off adventure or an entire campaign.
