They look great, Thomas.

Thank you for your hard work.

Shalom,

Cryo thread revival.

Is there a canon TNS feed for the period 1112-1117 (Post-FFW to CT/MT timeline fork)?

 

[tjoneslo]

They should all be there : https://wiki.travellerrpg.com/TNS_1117

They all have a similar naming pattern, but some of the links are missing.

Regrettably, no. I already tried that. There appears to be a glaring gap between 1112 and 1116, and no source to fill that gap elsewhere that I can find.

That's correct - the timeline fast-forwarded, so the JTAS entries skipped ahead.

I was afraid of that. Thanks.

It's a great shame that the setting hit the fast forward setting, but then a few years of FFW TAS bulletins were not exactly riveting reading.

This thread has prompted me to re-read the TAS bulletins before the fast forward -
the tales of a hyperspace survivor, shenanigans aboard a liner and a strange follow up investigation have 'new campaign. written all over them.

I have found this year's summer project

Just in case you don't know what I am talking about here is a link to the wiki page with the TAS bulletins:

Four years of TAS articles is going to make for an interesting summer project, that's for sure

I look forward to seeing the results

FWIW, here's my collection. I'm especially proud of transcribing the garbled transmissions from the end of 1130 as the Virus ravages the comm networks.

So... let's kick this into gear...


|: REGINA/REGINA (0310 A788899-A) 188-1112

¶ A dispatch from Terra/Sol (0207-A867A69-F) dated 188-1112 reads: "An in-depth investigation by the Imperial Navy and Specialist tech reps from Beta Draconis Industrie, have released a brief statement on the in-jump incident on board the Passenger Liner Tyrol.

¶ The statement provisionally concludes, with very little detail given, that a violent explosion caused the partial hyperspace intrusion and loss of pressure, resulting in vacuum and J-Space exposure to the cargo and engineering spaces of the ship, resulting in the injuries and fatalities onboard.

¶ Forensic material examinations have concluded that a conventional commercial explosive - PE-54 - available in most parts of the Imperium to Imperial member governments, licenced demolitions and Private Military Companies, was the cause of the blast; such explosive material was not on the cargo manifest of the Tyrol, as it is prohibited from carriage on exclusively passenger liners by Imperial Space Flight Regulations.

¶ The examination is now moving to a Criminal Investigation on grounds of sabotage and murder." Ω

Carry on the TNS entries for the four year gap, folks
