''The Imperial Data Recovery System'' is a computer program published by [[FASA]] in 1981 as a play aid to speed up bookkeeping for ''Traveller'', and assist with game aspects such as sector maps, records of characters and ships, and in-game encounters. John M. Morrison reviewed ''The Imperial Data Recovery System'' in ''The Space Gamer'' No. 50.<ref name="SG2">{{Cite journal |last=Morrison |first=John M. |date=April 1982 |title=Capsule Reviews |journal=[[The Space Gamer]] |publisher=[[Steve Jackson Games]] |issue=50 |pages=34–35}}</ref> Morrison commented that "I would seriously recommend that FASA take this off the market and re-write it from the ground up. There's definitely room for a ''Traveller'' aid program on the market, but not this one."<ref name="SG2" />

GDW licensee [[Paragon Software Corporation|Paragon]] produced two video games based on the ''Traveller'' universe:
* ''[[MegaTraveller 1: The Zhodani Conspiracy]]'' (1990) for [[Amiga]], [[Atari ST]], and [[MS-DOS]]
* ''[[MegaTraveller 2: Quest for the Ancients]]'' (1991) for Amiga and MS-DOS<ref name="DD70-79"/>{{rp|173}}

TravellerMap is an interactive map detailing the primary setting for Traveller. While it was originally fan-made, it has been made canon by reference,<ref>{{Cite book |title=The Great Rift Book 1: The Great Rift |publisher=[[Mongoose Publishing]] |pages=4}}</ref> which reference states that what appears in real life on that site is what appears in-universe to users of a certain widely used stellar navigational tool.

* Gregory P. Lee's ''The Laughing Lip''<ref>{{Cite book |last=Lee |first=Gregory P. |title=All Shall Go to Wrack: Book 1 of The Laughing Lip |date=6 March 2011 |publisher=CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform |isbn=978-1-4565-9090-1}}</ref> series acknowledges the influence of ''Traveller'' in the development of the three novels published to date. Lee also wrote the ''[[Gamelords]]'' supplement ''[[Lee's Guide to Interstellar Adventure]]'' in the early 1980s.
* [[Jefferson P. Swycaffer]] has written several novels<ref name="DD70-79"/>{{rp|180}} set in the "Concordat" fictional universe he originally developed for his ''Traveller'' campaign.
* There are two different Backwards Mask books in the ''Death of Wisdom'' trilogy. The manuscript by the original author (''Brunette'') was lost until shortly after the replacement manuscript (by Carson) was published. The original was then published for those who wanted it, and Carson's serves as an alternate end to the trilogy.
