The First Imperium was the Vilani empire which was conquered by the fledgling Terrans (Solomani); the Second Imperium was the Terran empire that attempted unsuccessfully to maintain the system and boundaries of the first; the Third Imperium was established over a thousand years ago when Cleon I (Zhunastu) began to forge an empire among the core worlds and bring an end to the Long Night.Really, to me the best books are the Classic Traveller reprints (or the CD rom) sold by Far Future Enterprises (i.e. Marc Miller). I'd get the first and second (Books and Supplements) reprints at least.<a href="http://www.farfuture.net/hardcopy.html" target="_blank">FFE- HardCopy</a>If you want to use Mongoose's rules (not my pref but hey, you already have the book) then probably the most useful single thing to buy is the second reprint: "The Supplements 1 - 13". For $35 you'll be getting:1001 CharactersAnimal EncountersThe Spinward MarchesCitizens of the ImperiumLightning Class Cruisers76 PatronsTraders & GunboatsLibrary Data (A - M)Fighting ShipsThe Solomani RimLibrary Data (N - Z)Forms and ChartsVeteransSo there you're looking at a bunch of adventure seeds, a bunch of deck plans and ship info, a collection of the basic setting info, two sectors and a ton of other stuff.</blockquote>
