Andrew Keith and Rob Toy, interior art by William H. Keith Jr. and Steve Venters, and cover art by Dave Dietrick.[2]
Reception[edit]
Jim Bambra reviewed Traveller Alien Module 6: Solomani for White Dwarf #84, and stated that "Like previous alien modules, Solomani vividly recreates an alien society; it's a must for any campaign set in or near the Solomani Confederation."[3]
In his 1990 book The Complete Guide to Role-Playing Games, game critic Rick Swan called this one of the best Traveller expansions, and especially recommended it.[4]
