T5's core (the 600-page book) is a toolkit intended to support all settings. However, one of the reasons we're doing development of sectors by mapping out the various plotted timelines (which does mean at some point we need to add 993) is that Marc intends to stand by the published settings.
Now, that is not to say that every stitch will be unchanged. But in the OTU, the Empress Wave exists, the Rebellion occurred, etc. What comes after 1248? Marc is looking seriously at that for T5...
But for those who want to play in the TNE setting, Marc is very interested in what you might have... and I'm interested in any errata!
