Contents

Beyond is a Traveller supplement that describes the "Beyond" sector, and the planets contained within its sixteen subsectors.[2] In addition to the book, a map of the sector is included.[3] Information about each planet in the sector includes name, type of planet, and trade indicators, as well as pertinent shipping lines, alien races, prominent persons and political bodies.[3]

Publication history

Beyond was written by Donald P. Rapp and was published in 1981 by Paranoia Press as a digest-sized 32-page book with a map.[4]

Reception

In the August 1981 edition of The Space Gamer (Issue No. 42), William A. Barton thought this supplement was a good addition to the Traveller universe, saying, "Beyond will prove to be a fascinating area for any Travellers to visit. Every devoted player should add it to his Traveller collection."[2]

In the February 1982 edition of Dragon (Issue 58), Tony Watson thought Beyond was "nicely done and well thought out", but questioned the need for it: "Subsectors are available from other sources, and one wonders if more are really needed."[3]
