The newsletter has gotten its much needed face-lift. Thope you will like the changes. Talking about changes, the TNE will soon be released, if GDW can keep its schedule for once. It might even be in the shelves by the time you read is. Either way, this new year will undoubtedly bring new opportunities for HIWG to mark itself as a fan organization for Traveller. The best way to do this as I see is to give Traveller, and thus GDW the support needed. Mike Mikesh has started a project developing subsector A in Masillia sector. Here the pocket empire, first called Nolan League, or Hub Worlds which is the name of it now. For more details on this project contact either Mike or more appropriately Adrian Stewart of HIWG(UK), when he is the designated leader of the project. Imperial Lines, the official newsletter from GDW, will be the medium that will feature Hub Worlds, so subscribe if you want to stay tuned. For us Vargr analysts Masillia might not be too interesting. But there are a lot of things we might do to enhance the feel of Traveller, old or new. Most of Vargr space won't be harmed by the Virus. What has happened in the extents these last 70 or eighty years? Start planning and most of all communicate with your analyst at your neighbour sector. Something I feel that has been too little of the last 12 to fifteen months. KU is one of the channels to use if you want to reach a lot of people at once. Ido distribute this newsletter to all known Vargr analysts. If people write in I will be able to send out issues more often. Another channel is AABP our new organization newsletter, distributed by Clay Bush. Table of Contents HIWG Mugshot. ‘The editor shows his face for the rest of the HIWG members.

There has been rumors about sophoats crawling on the outside of a starship in Jjumpspace with vacesuits, but he didn't believe those rumors. So we would be spaced wien ‘we arrived in real space. ‘Two days came and went. Arsin looked funny with the two day old groweh of fur in his face. Arsin mumbled something of shaving, ‘The fur was obviously itching. Why don't you ask the guards if you can take a shave?” I asked, “Are you funny?” he growled.
