Firefly

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

The television show Firefly has been consistently mentioned as a prime candidate for Traveller advocacy -- or, at least, use as a Traveller alternate setting. This is one way it can be done.

[edit] Firefly-class Transports

Firefly-class ships are meant to be discontinued small freighters, made in such large numbers or using such generic parts that using them is reasonable, and even cheap. The closest Traveller analogue is the 400-ton "Fat Merchant". Using the Merchant as the guideline for the Firefly adaptation, Known Space is therefore probably grouped mostly into a huddled Jump-1 main.

[edit] Tech Level

Despite the Alliance's multi-million-ton frontier cruisers, their limited number of worlds in close proximity hints that tech may be lower than that of the Imperium: TL 12 seems reasonable.

[edit] The Alliance Quadrant

From basic information about the Firefly universe, any number of Traveller-style starcharts can be constructed. Assuming that most of the worlds are grouped into a jump-1 main, this is one of them.
