From Traveller Wiki - Science-Fiction Adventure in the Far future

One of the definitions of canon is: a sanctioned or accepted group or body of related works. The Traveller canon includes the books published by GDW, Digest Group Publications, Imperium Games, BITS, Steve Jackson Games, QuikLink Interactive, and Avenger Enterprises.

Because of the ownership of the Digest Group Publications material, this material can not be used directly in other Traveller material. This has led to refering to this material as deuterocanonical or second canon.

A number of other publishers, including Seeker, Gamelords, FASA are also considered deuterocanonical. Their material produced under licence is still used for canon references, though the companies no longer produce for Traveller.

Traveller canon excludes articles published in Journal of the Travellers Aid Society, Challenge, and Travellers' Digest magazines, unless the articles have been re-published in another canon source.

Other publishers products, though approved for use with Traveller at one time, have been de-canonized and removed from this list: Judges Guild and Paranoia Press.

Library entries derviced from a canon source are listed in this category. Any library article not derived from a canon source is in the non-canon category.

The categorization of an article as canon or not is usually irrelevant to gamers. Which articles are important to your game should be your decision. Canon is important to authors writing for a publisher to ensure they are within the boundries set by previous authors.
