What are the Hivers' plans for the future of humanity?There are those who say that nothing takes place in charted space without the Hivers having anticipated it, planned it, shaped it, brought it into being by patient, careful manipulation.The Hivers are the manipulators -- emotionless, perfectly rational beings possessed of infinite patience and subtlety. If interstellar history is a clock, the Hivers are the ones who wind it; the passage of time itself does their bidding."What do you get when you cross a golden retriever with a box of razor blades? How is it that the most efficient, merciless killers in the universe don't have a mean bone in their bodies? If violence is natural, guileless, and innocent, does that mean one need not take it so personally?The Ithklur are the most feared warriors known to man. To an Ithklur, Vargr plunder is like a walk in the park; Aslan warrior spirit is the babbling of a toothless child. Other races make such a fuss over violence -- why not just do it and enjoy yourself?To the Hivers, the Ithklur are their trained, elite shock troops, lovingly perfected by millenia of manipulation and social engineering. No finer tool has ever been fashioned.But as far as the Ithklur are concerned, they have the Hivers just where they want them. Who wants to be a boring taxi driver anyway? If the Hivers want to pretend they're in charge, what does it really hurt, so long as they leave the Ithklur alone?

Without an omnipotent Imperium that has already imposed order on everything, the act of every man, woman and child looms larger, has a greater impact. And when even seemingly small actions have large results, imagine the sort of effect a person can have when daring greatly. The course of civilizations can be changed.In the New Era, entire worlds have died or fallen back into barbarism. These worlds need peoples to come make them live again, and leaders to them back into the light. Such people need to have a variety of skills: they must be explorers, the must be builders, they must be leaders. They must have the courage to take on the power of a raw world and emerge victorious. These explorers, these builders, these leaders have a name. They are called World Tamers.The World Tamerâs Handbook brings to Traveller: The New Era a new arena in which to adventure: the ragged border of civilization, the realm of the unknown on a thousand worlds that do not know the light of civilization. World Tamerâs Handbook provides material to create Survey campaigns in which characters push humanityâs knowledge out into the Wilds, Bootstrap campaigns in which characters lift low-tech populations out of barbarism and Colony campaigns in which characters found and lead expeditions to repopulate entire worlds.In order to do this, World Tamerâs Handbook provides rules on colonial economics and infrastructure which allow players and referees alike to understand what makes a colony run, and what decisions need to be made to ensure success. These rules are not only useful for the campaigns in the book, but can ve used to flesh out societies in any Traveller: The New Era campaign or adventure.In addition, expanded rules on world generation allows referees to create the details needed by players conducting detailed survey operations in advance of the colony transports.Finally, additional design sequences expand on the information contained in Fire, Fusion & Steel to allow the design of black powder weapons, bow weapons an low-tech ground transportation.A world can be a big, rough, wild place, but no world is too big, too rough or too wild for characters bold enough to be called world tamers.
