For those who cannot get into a program or do not trust authorities sufficiently are forced to operate on their own. Unlike actual archaeological scientists, these are the “Ancient Hunters”. Instead of following actual knowledge from real scientific work, this… text/html 2022-12-18T16:09:26+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.seenar.com/doku.php?id=game_systems:traveller:lore:crescent_cat&rev=1671379766&do=diff Crescent Cats While some early Terrans engaged in uplift of dolphins, others engaged in a different sort of genetic tinkering, that of ship’s cats. As JTAS 04 (p126) notes: Terran cats have been aboard ships since before the Solomani discovered jump drive but ship’s cats are specifically bred for life aboard ship. They can sense pressure differentials and electric fields, which can help find problems in ship systems and in the event of depressurisation will instinctively seek out pressurised … text/html 2023-10-13T14:07:02+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.seenar.com/doku.php?id=game_systems:traveller:lore:home&rev=1697206022&do=diff Lore Ship's Cat Crescent Cat Ancient_Hunters Omicron Mandala Weiss Mobil text/html 2024-09-16T15:16:00+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.seenar.com/doku.php?id=game_systems:traveller:lore:idmun&rev=1726499760&do=diff Idmun Foundation The Foundation itself was a scholarly archaeology research organization, looking into the past history of Ercan (once named Idmun, thus the name).

At the time, some even felt that the reaction to the idea of a Zhodani 5th Column was, in fact, a Zhodani plot to undermine and damage the psionic acumen of the Imperium. text/html 2023-10-13T14:12:53+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) http://www.seenar.com/doku.php?id=game_systems:traveller:lore:omicron&rev=1697206373&do=diff Omicron Project Reintegra had multiple goals and an element of ‘see-what-happens’ but was largely about defusing the backlash from the Psionics Suppression Campaigns.
