Info on Yori

[Jame]

I'm very slowly writing a one-shot game for my fiancee. She's never played Traveller before even though she's a gamer, so I wanted to write something pretty basic; my thought is to have her character, a scout with her own ship, have to take a scientist from Regina to Yori. (Just need a gun battle and a couple of "random, possibly wierd" encounters too.)

Here's my question: do any of you have info on Yori other than what's in CT supp. 3 and in GT Behind the Claw? Thank you in advance!

From my fact file on Yori:

A small Ancient site is located under drifting sands in a vast desert surrounded by signs of destruction from the Final War. It is characterized by iridescent white building blocks and occasional rubble-filled wells. [SA:37]

Yori was settled before 300 and is a member of the Imperium by 300. [TA:15]

The Imperial Research Station is rumored to be engaged in long-range communications research. [TP:14]

1105: C360757-D/?; Imperial Research Station
1110: C360757-A/7; Research Station Beta
1117: C360757-A/7; -"- -"- -"-
1202: C360857-D/1; -"- -"- -"-; Ancient's Site


Population:

1000: 67,000,000 [HRM]
1110: 70,800,000 [HRM]
1120: 70,800,000 [BtC]

The world's main industry is salt mining. Yori's huge dried sea beds provide a salt enriched with an unusual combination of minerals that are [sic] much sought after by the food industries of many worlds.

Research Station Beta is located on the 14th moon of the system's second gas giant. Officially, it is there to study gas-giant weather. Rumors persist of an Ancient site on that moon, but rumors persist of an Ancient site almost everywhere. [BtC:82]

There's some information on Yori and a short adventure thread in Mongoose's freebie campaign, Secrets of the Ancients which is easy enough to convert back to CT.

I remember creating (for myself) complete plans for the research station there... something about advanced spacesuits &/or commo gear? I vaguely remember having an experimental TL 16 or 17 meson (hand?) communicator available as a gimmick... the lab had about 5 or 6 floors, with an underground testing range - of course, that was where the gimmick was.

I think you needed that almost-useless (so it seems) Coomuncations skill to recognise it for what it was!!

I've written up a native race who live in the outback. I'll go looking for it.

What chapter is that information in? I can't locate it.

Sorry - my bad - I got it mixed up with Feri.

That'll teach me to check things out more closely before I post!

And then you'll send it on to Freelance Traveller, won't you?

The most interesting and detailed writeup I have seen for Yori is at

http://www.trisen.com/sol/default.asp?topic=10&page=52

I ran several play by email adventures there and the site actually has a couple of well thought out adventures you can run.

Compliments of the awesome Hemdian.
