-The YAGS SciFi rules are currently being used to run a campaign set in the GURPS Traveller setting. This is set at the end of the Classic period and ignores the collapse of the Imperium caused by the assassination of the Emperor.+YAGS SciFi assumes Traveller-like campaign, partly because this is the setting it has been used to run games in before, and also because it makes senseTraveller uses the view of science fiction from the 1970's, and doesn't get sidetracked by the revolution in computer and genetics technology that came after. The setting is nothing like the future will be, but this allows the GM and players to concentrate on human characters in a human society, rather than playing minds uploaded in AI generated virtual landscapes.
