The Fiyfiyalr War ran from 372-380. It started as a war between various clans on one side and the Old Earth Union and allied states in Magyar. In around 377, the Old Earth Union requested Imperial help and, as the Aslan realised that the OEU was an Imperial vassal, the Aslan drew the 3I into the war. This was negotiated down into a ritual Duel War, which the Imperium won in 380, leading to the Peace of Ftahalr.

The Aslan Border Wars as a whole ran from -1118 until that time, ebbing and flowing. There was a significant reduction in tension after the 3I signed the Peace of Dark Nebula in 212, but tension rose again after 300, as the OEU declared it was not bound by that treaty.

So the _game_ Dark Nebula could be set from -1118 onwards. If you assume that the hexes in the _game_ Dark Nebula are the same scale as in Imperium (0.5 parsecs per hex), a 4-hex jump is actually only J2. I always had the assumption it was set during the Long Night, as the protagonists seem to be on a subsector-government scale, rather than anything larger. YMMV

Cheers!

I'm not sure. Going back and reading again I see Dark Nebula is between the Aslan and the Solomani, not the Imperium as I first thought. So it can't be set during the Border Wars.

In saying that given the jump 4 I'd say its after the Border Wars. Since the Solomani Sphere was created in 704 maybe Dark Nebula is closer to that date, after the increase to TL13?

I always thought hat Dark Nebula was set before the Border Wars.
Back in the time shortly after the Aslan managed to salvage a J-drive from a Terran survey vessel.

I suspect
that things don't line up too well with Dark Nebula.

Thanks guys.
I was thinking TL12-13 as well but wanted to be
sure. I was looking at the Dark Nebula game last night,
which i think is based around that time period, which states
up to jump 4 for ships, which tends to suggest a max of TL13
as well.
I have the Traveller timeline somewhere so will
have to look it up. Didn't realise it included TLs as
I've chatted to Don about it in the past for my
Reavers' Deep research.
I'm on COTI Ethan so thanks for the
shortcut, that was going to be my next port of call.

Hi
Folks,
Can anyone point me in the direction of tech levels at
different periods of the Traveller timeline?
Specifically I'm trying to work out tech levels for the
Aslan and Imperials around 380, at the end of the Aslan
Border Wars.
Anyone help me out?
Cheers,
Brett.
