At last, Gypsy Knight Games has revealed their setting to the public. And, the suggestions that have been planted along the way now make sense. This rather small offering is meant to act as the matrix to view their Quick World series and purely optional which is its strengths. There is no attempt to foster the Hub Federation onto players and referees but rather it is a tool for understanding this campaign better. Its history is plausible and fits well with the Quick Worlds. The drawback of this book/campaign is that the worlds are rather underpowered compared to the extent of power projection needed to hold an Empire or Federation together. The art and text would suggest a much more higher powered Federation than TL A,B. But, that is a quibble more than a complaint. It resembles the OTU in many ways, so much, so that it could serve a parallel to a modified OTU (ie no Vilani at Bernard's Star - rather have them further Coreward and a 2300AD setting dominate until some time into the future). Thus, I can see, if one wants to leave the OTU, this product allows you do so. However, it has much softer edges than Outer Veil so not compatible with that fine product and yet is not as soft as Terra-Sol. So, if Referees and Players are longing for a lower powered Traveller Universe - this represents an excellent compromise.
