Many years ago I was interested in expanding upon the Church of Stellar Divinity [http://wiki.travellerrpg.com/Church_of_the_Stellar_Divinity] as a sort of Catholic church for the Imperium, but I never did more with it that speculate that:

1) Jump space was the CoSD's vision of Hell, since a person therein was totally separated from his or her stellar diety and

2) This meant that most starships included a small CoSD shrine wherein the souls of those who died while in jumpspace could be held until the ship re-emerged into normal space.

Hi there,

while I'm rattling everyone's cages... I could swear I recall a (canon?) Traveller book saying something along the lines of religious content being best avoided in games. I even *thought* it was something like the classic Traveller Book or similar. But I can't lay my hands on any such quote.

Is my memory playing tricks on me can anyone recall where that was? Could be *any* era of Traveller but my little grey cells are saying CT, MT or maybe MgT.
