Detailed Timline Summary - 26KB, Word 7.0 doc
Imperium: The Imperium is a strong interstellar government encompassing 281 subsectors and approximately 11,000 worlds. Approximately 1100 years old, it is the third human empit=re to control this area, the oldest, and the strongest. Nevertheless, it is under strong pressure from its neighboring interstellar governments, and does not have the strength or the power which it once had.
Subsector: An artificial mapping concept intended to delineate and define locations within the galaxy. In most cases, the subsector is used as a governmental unit within the Imperium. At the fringes of the Imperium, subsectors continue to be defined and carried on maps beyond the Imperial borders.
Vargr Extents: The regions inhabited by Vargr, generally to coreward of the Imperium. Vargr are a far-flung race of intelligent aliens, roughly humanoid in nature, although genetically derived from carnivore/chaser stock. The Vargr are, by nature, pack animals, but continuing rivalry between the various established packs has made a united Vargr empire impossible.
Xboat: Abbreviation for express boat, used for the fastest possible communications between worlds. Xboats are jump-4 ships crewed by single pilots and intended for the most rapid trasnfer of information possible. A boat jumps to a new system, transmits its recorded messages to a waiting xboat, which then jumps immeidately to the next system on the run. The first ship is then refuelled, possibly the pilot is replaced, and it waits the arrival of the next incoming ship.
Zhodani Consulate: A large empire encompassing an area approximately 40 parsecs in diameter immeidately to core-spinward of the Imperium. The Consulate is believed to include in excess of 80% all known racial Zhodani. Much of the remainder inhabits the Zhodani client states, although other species of homo-sapiens are also found in the various client states of the Consulate.
This item is one of my favorites. It is a referee screen (Word 7.0 format - zipped) made to fit in my 9.5" x 6" zippered three-ring binder. Unzip it, open it with Word 7.0 or higher, and print it out. Then glue it to four pieces of cardboard taped like an accordian with Duct Tape. You now have a primo referee screen. (Add art to suit.) I keep my Little Black Books and other essentials in with it when I head out on vacation or have to travel.
This item is a fully updated (Ver 2.0 dated July 2000) work in progress, but it is my very favorite! It is a solo module (Word 7.0 format - zipped) merchant captain adventure made to fit into my Daytimer (c). Unzip it, open the files with Word 7.0 and Excel 95 or higher, and print them out. Follow the Readme.txt instructions and glue the pages into a Daytimer Work Organizer Booklet or suitable replacement booklet. The pages will exactly match. You now have a mini solo adventure with mini referee screen and mini rules ready for boring Board Meetings, long commutes, and lunch breaks at work. (1.0 MB).
