For many of us who started gaming in the tail end of the 1970s, The Handbook for Space Pioneers: Exoplanet Colonies (1978) by Wolfe and Wysack was basically the first space game supplement that wasn't intended for RPGs at all... and yet...

I think if you projected forwards you could imagine cities built that way, because there's basically nine different types of world, one already distinctly capitalist, but the social-frame of the game.. cough cough.. book is very pioneer era supported via occasional drops. It's very "you make it here yourself, for a new life on Weirdo XII"
Which is of course totally stressfree
In a game
Which of course this isn't
<_<
>_>
totally is..
@Printdevil I feel that this is what good Traveller campaigns are made of despite being completely unsupported by the actual game. @RogerBW

It's *literally* a traveller campaign being handed to you.
You would have to do nothing with either the rules or the generation of Traveller to use it. It's all there.
It works well as a set of worlds to place Star Trek plots on, but that's an abstraction from the actually game.. cough book's narrative.

@Printdevil @Taskerland The emphasis on plausible tech would seem to make it a better fit for 2300AD, but I just like 2300AD (if one can pry it away from the milsf people, of whom I have been one, I'm just not in the mood for it at the moment).

@Printdevil I feel that SJG's Transhuman Space books are the spiritual descendants of those non-fiction science fiction books. Terrain Trade Authority and all that.
@Taskerland @Printdevil It's a shame that the Terran Trade Authority RPG fizzled out with only the rules released.

@Taskerland Even this paragraph is full of foreboding for me. If this was what the GM gave me as my introduction I'd already assume horror was about to break out everywhere.

Whatever did your alt text read across the lines, not within the two columns. It's unintelligible.
