The Long Night¸ a period in which the remnants of a once-mighty interstellar empire regressed to barbarism¸ has passed. Starships once again ply the space lanes¸ and civilizations are reawakened to the vast interstellar community of worlds.
There are many possible universes to TRAVELLER. As the world's first science-fiction role-playing game¸ it was originally designed with the entire spectrum of SF stories in mind-from hard science fiction¸ to social science fiction (both human and alien)¸ to the speculative realms of psionic powers¸ to "space opera" and high adventure. Early in the game's development¸ however¸ due to player demand¸ a singular vision of the universe began to evolve. It was a vision of the Third Imperium¸ a vast interstellar empire¸ heir to two others that have arisen and fallen over the millennia of human history. It was a vision of amazing deeds¸ brilliant successes and monumental tragedies¸ as humaniti struggled to tame the galaxy¸ and to master itself. As a backdrop¸ this history is quite large enough to still allow for that original broad range of SF stories¸ but able also to provide unity to the game.
