A little extra MilGov material from a different source

[StainlessSteelCynic]

There's a free fanzine available for GDW's 2300AD game (although the fanzine producers appear to have come onboard through Mongoose Publishing's licenced version of the game).
"So what?" you ask.
The fanzine has attempted to flesh out the game world by including corporations and organizations in the zine's sidebars, one of them being a communications & courier company called X-mail. While the fanzine is to support 2300AD, they have included ways to add X-mail to Traveller and the real gem for us here, Twilight: 2000.

Their idea is that MilGov has set up covert bases making use of the few commsats it can still control to allow US personnel in Europe to send messages back to the US. The overall hope being that this will encourage troops to go home and fall in with MilGov.
I think it's quite a neat idea and although as a sidebar piece it's obviously not going to provide lots of detail but it does provide another, and quite interesting, plot hook.

So, to the issue. As mentioned it is completely free and can be found at DriveThruRPG. This link is for the issue in question, Issue 1 and there are currently five other issues available.

The X-mail sidebar article starts on page 24 of Issue 1 with the specific T2k application starting on page 28 and finishing on page 30.
The same Issue also has a much smaller T2k treatment of another company called Leviathan that specializes in salvage & cargo delivery in the sidebar on page 34.

There's also an interview with former GDW contract writer Charles Gannon. Although he had more to do with Traveller, 2300AD and Dark Conspiracy than Twilight: 2000, it's still an interesting read for some background on GDW itself.
