The TTA
Books
This page is about the books in the Terran Trade Authority series.
It is divided into two main sections, a list of the original
books from the late seventies and early eighties, and a list of the
recent books by Morrigan Press c. 2006-7. I also am compiling
a list of changes between the old (SC1) and new (SC2) edition of Spacecraft.

this book as SC1]

Galactic Encounters Series
This was a series of books released by Cowley under the psuedonym
Steven Caldwell, for a different publisher. They are, by the
author's own admission, of generally lower quality than the main
series, and largely composed of art that was rejected from use in the
main TTA series. They are considered non-canonical from the
standpoint of the Morrigan RPG. However, since they share an
author, style, and several setting elements with the TTA handbooks
(planets, ships, technologies, etc.), I
include them here in the interests of completeness as well as on the
chance that RPG players and GMs may find them a source of useful ideas.
Much of this info comes from Philip Banks' page.

- The Space Warriors (1980) is not part of the Galactic
Encounters series, but is written by Cowley and shares many
characteristics with GE books (though it also has speech balloons over the art). I don't
own the book, so I'm unclear on the details.
