Re: [TML] "Appropriate technology" and trade in Classic Traveller

I believe that 'Grand Fleet' was the 1st edition pub by ???, while Mongoose pub a 2nd ed titled 'Sector Fleet'.
It covers the CT era of the TU, but, it wasn't actually published during the 'real-world' time that CT was the official ver of Traveller.
And that can lead to discrepancies.

Here's (http://index.rpg.net/display-entry.phtml?mainid=8207)
what RPG.Net has to say about Grand Fleet:-
"Grand Fleet deals with
the Grand Fleet of the Third Imperium – the Imperial Navy.
It is set in the Official Traveller Universe, in the period
just after the end of the Fifth Frontier War. As such it is
compatible with either the official Hard Times – Collapse
– Recovery – New Era timeline or an alternate wherein
the assassination of Emperor Strephon does not occur. All
material is also equally valid for the 993 era of the
Gateway Domain, with the exception of events that have not
yet occurred in Imperial history. The information contained
within this book can also be extrapolated forward into the
Hard Times, Civil War and Collapse periods and provides a
starting point when considering the navies of the New Era.
The fleets of the Regency, the Fourth Imperium, Ziru Sirka
and Black Imperium are all based on the Grand Fleet’s
designs and organization."
