Greeting, Fellow Sophonts!
Welcome to Stellar Reaches, a free PDF-based fanzine dedicated to Traveller T20 and Classic Traveller. During the 1980s and ’90s, fans of Traveller supported their game through such fanzines as High Passage, Far Traveller, Third Imperium and Security Leak, among others. However, in recent years, such fan-based support has been primarily relegated to websites. Stellar Reaches, a free fanzine for Traveller T20 and Classic Traveller, attempts to provide the same level of support that fanzines of the past generated for Traveller, in an electronic format.
In each issue, readers will find details for one quadrant of a featured sector (the first four issues focus on the Empty Quarter sector), as well as an adventure based in that region of space, to help introduce players to the region. Supporting articles, such as starship and vehicles designs, background information or new game mechanics, typically lend support to the adventure or setting depicted in the issue.
It is our goal to release a new issue of Stellar Reaches quarterly, with 20 to 40 pages of content in each issue, depending on submissions. While Stellar Reaches primarily supports Traveller T20 and Classic Traveller, articles from other systems will definitely be considered. While the primary focus of content is expected to be on the Gateway Era and Classic Traveller time frames at first (with the intention to support TNE 1248 as well, once that core book is released), other eras may also come into focus as other authors submit articles, and new products become available on the market.
Submissions are simple. Each draft document should be anything between one and eight pages in length (assuming approximately 800 words to the page). If possible, articles should be submitted in RTF, TXT or Word format, as those are the easiest to convert. Please be mindful of your grammar and spelling, if you can.
We are also in dire need of artwork, ranging from scanned drawings to rendered graphics of starships, vehicles and robots. All contributions will be considered!
This is a non-profit operation, run totally based on our love for the game. The only payment we receive is the recognition of Traveller fans for our work. We sincerely hope you enjoy our efforts, but if you do not, we ask that you bear in mind that it didn’t cost you anything, either. 
Thank you for joining us on our maiden voyage, and we hope you enjoy the ride!
Preparing for Jump,
Jason “Flynn” Kemp
Editor, Stellar Reaches fanzine
