Honestly, over at QLI (makers of d20 Traveller, and resellers of Classic Traveller reprints) people were seriously wondering on the message boards if Joss Whedon played Traveller in his youth -- Firefly's basic setup just screams Classic Traveller. Set your CT campaign just off the Solomani Rim border, and you've got the Firefly setup dead-cold. In CT, the Solomani  (corruption of "Men of Sol") Rim humans, based out of the Terra region, are a militaristic, fascist regime. They were the Alliance before there was an Alliance, if you take my meaning.Oh, and unlike d20 Modern/Future, Classic Traveller has slug-thrower weapons coexisting easily alongside more advanced-tech weaponry in galactic daily life. CT suggests that slug-throwers will never truly disappear -- advanced technology will just make them more efficient, lighter, and increasingly cheaper -- and efficient and portable plus dirt-cheap almost ensures that ballistic weapons will continue in some form for a while yet.Whatever you decide, good luck with your game,LL</blockquote>
