Contents
Survival Margin: Gateway to the New Era is a supplement in which information is presented about the fall of the Third Imperium.
Publication history
Shannon Appelcline explained that with Traveller: The New Era, "GDW did something very surprising: they destroyed the Imperium. A book called Survival Margin (1993) artfully detailed the transition from MegaTraveller through Hard Times into the New Era in prose form. It described how, in 1130, a 'final weapon' was accidentally unleashed: a high-tech computer virus. It ripped through technological systems across the Imperium, effectively shutting down civilisation and star travel alike. Now in The New Era, dated 1200 on the Imperial calendar, mankind was slowly reaching back for the stars."
Reception
Brennan O'Brien reviewed Survival Margin in White Wolf #37 (July/Aug., 1993), rating it a 4 out of 5 and stated that "Survival Margin rates solidly by default. It's not so much that the product is incredible, but that it does exactly what I expected it to do, providing solid background material and bridging the gap between Megatraveller and New Era. It is a good supplement, worth the price if you need or want the material it covers."
