Adventures in the Greater galaxy
from the wikipedia article:
New Millennium Entertainment (NME) was selected to write the Starshield roleplaying game. A reasonably complete draft of the core roleplaying game rulebook was written by Ricko Dakan, and NME intended to showcase the game at GenCon '97. The game included contribution from Alex Jurkat and Bernard Trombley at NME, though the unfinished draft was still revisions away from being publish-worthy. Beta testing and development sessions for the game included Ken Eitelamn, Ed Healy, Frank Torkel, and Matthew Willemain, all of whom were participants of the Starshield project.
Ultimately, regular development/testing sessions stopped after NME explained to the team that Tracy Hickman had not ironed out all the contract details, and NME refused to continue work on the project without a completed contract in hand. By mid-1997, all work on the roleplaying game stopped.
