Expand the rebellious universe of MegaTraveller with more rules, background, information, and ,materials for the dedicated referee. Materials that simply would not fit into the grand, three-volume MegaTraveller rules set have been brought together into one volume as the MegaTraveller Referee's Companion. This compendium helps provide detail to science-fiction campaigns, adds scope to MegaTraveller projects, and sparks interest in any adventure. The MegaTraveller Referee's Companion includes:
The Alien Races: Coverage of the major alien races that travellers are bound to meet: the fierce warrior Aslan; the psionic Zhodani; the fragmented, canine Vargr; and the puzzling Droyne. Essays deal with the races' homeworlds, physical appearance and abilities, mental make-up, and interstellar territories. Coverage of their histories helps referees understand their backgrounds, making it easier to use alien individuals as non-player characters. Tables for word generation in alien languages make it possible for referees to add spice and mystery to everyday activities, and glossaries provide translations for known words in the alien languages.
Large-Scale Combat: Rules for a simple system of converting characters into conglomerate units, resolving battles between these larger units, and reconverting the units back into individual characters. the system makes large-scale battles possible, without losing the detail of individual player characters.

Communications: Information on how starship communications systems work in the typical star system.
In-System Operations: Details of what a starship is expected to do, and how it does it as the ship moves from jump point to a world and back again.
Research: Coverage of the use of the Uncertain task to conduct important research into scientific, personal, or commercial ventures.
Mapping: Map grids to help the referee design and generate any world, and present it with style as part of any adventure.
Megacorporations: Names, ownership, and commercial interests of the 13 star-spanning Imperial megacorporations.
