"The progress of evolution on other worlds can create fantastic results. In the far trailing regions parsecs from the Imperium, on the world of Guaran, the beings who reached intelligence and ultimate domination of their world were six-limbed pseudo-starfish. On their homeworld, they created a culture based on cooperation, but which still accepted and respected the individual. When they reached space, they carried that culture with them, establishing a federation which now spans more than ten sectors. Early explorers were struck by the hive-like appearance of these aliens' cities; naturally they were called Hivers. The fact that the Hivers had no spoken language delayed recognition that there was no true hive relationship long enough for the name to stick. Hivers are aliens. They are a cooperative race, but they respect individualism. They live in nests, but can change to another nest any time they want. They abhor violence and war, but they won the only major war they have ever fought. They love their children, but allow most of their children to die before they are a year old. To understand them, and their place in the Traveller universe, this alien module is essential. This module allows Traveller players to be Hiver characters, to play adventures in the Hive Federation, and to learn more about the Hivers' culture..."

"The Iranian Crown Jewels. For years they rested in the vaults of the Markasi Bank in Tehran, where they backed Iran's legal tender, but when the National Emergency Council governing Iran in mid-1996 abandoned Tehran and retreated to Esfahan, they took the Crown Jewels with them. "In the first half of 1997, the NEC elected to move again, this time from Esfahan to Shiraz. The Iranian Crown Jewels were left behind just long enough for preparations to be made to secure them in Shiraz. Other considerations, such as the fact that even Shiraz became cut off by further Soviet advances, soon occupied the Council's collective mind. "But as Esfahan looked in imminent danger of falling to the Soviets, a desperate mission to move the Crown Jewels was launched. The mission never returned; Esfahan was quickly captured by Soviet forces; and the Crown Jewels were lost in the shuffle. The Soviets assumed that the NEC had them. The Council believed that they had been captured by the Soviets. But rumors began to circulate that the jewels had simply disappeared..."

"Howling Wilderness is a sourcebook of the United States of America for use with Twilight: 2000... It describes the events in America during the years leading up to the war. It describes the preparations for nuclear attack taken by the government, and why many of those preparations failed. It describes the attack upon the United States in November of 1997, and the aftermath of that attack. In addition, it carries the Twilight: 2000 future history through May of 2001, and summarizes conditions in the U.S. as of that date. It will also deal with the shift in weather patterns in late 2000/early 2001, and the effects this will have. "Howling Wilderness contains the following: * Discussions of the status of Civgov, Milgov, and New America, including current territories as of 2001, a summary of available military forces, and a brief history of each in the years from 1997 to 2001. * Maps showing the location of each nuclear strike and details of the more important ones. * A state-by-state rundown of local conditions, concentrating upon what effects the drought will have on each. * This sourcebook also contains a special bonus: Twilight Citymaker. This is a collection of geomorphic map sections of various urban areas. We have provided a nice selection of geomorphic sections (over 100 different ones) for referees to photocopy. Using these geomorphs, referees can put together villages, towns, and fortified strongholds at a moment's notice, or make them up quickly and easily ahead of time."

"Information in this module includes: * Source material and maps for southern Spain, Sicily, Libya, the Greek Islands, the Dardanelles, and Romania. * Rules for combat between small surface vessels, deckplans, and maps for use with these rules. * An appendix containing two optional scenarios for Harpoon, GDW's modern naval wargame. * Internal details of SSN 705 City of Corpus Christi.

"In Satellite Down, the characters get to take a trip to sunny Baja California, where they must retrieve some data cassettes from a [Soviet] weather/recon satellite that managed to record the weather patterns of the last three years. Whoever has the information on those tapes will be able to forecast the effects of the climatic changes caused by the war -- and be better able to survive them. The only thing standing in their way is a do-it-yourself messiah and a few hundred fanatic followers."
