I gather the cool kids are getting back into alignment charts these
days.
So here's mine.

The Little Black Books are the original game; Mongoose Traveller uses
a similar baseline but quite different actual rules, and T20 is an
adaptation of D&D 3rd edition for all those who thought that what
Traveller really needed was classes and levels.
MegaTraveller was still very much the same system as the original
game, but it broke the setting with the Civil War and the collapse of
the Imperium. Traveller: the New Era used a whole new rules engine.
And Interstellar Wars is GURPS 4th edition modified for play thousands
of years before the founding of the Imperium.
Orbital 2100 is a Cepheus Engine game, an unconnected setting but with
rules reliably close to the original books (based I believe on
Mongoose's first edition). Mongoose's 2300 has slightly more divergent
rules, and Starfinder has no connection to Traveller at all.
