Hard Times page 79:

After 1128
Many of the changes, which become evident from 1125-
1128, require another decade before they are fully resolved,
although many of these resolutions are already obvious by the
end of 1128.
Hard Times therefore goes to at least 1138...

unfortunately Virus was released in 1130 and spread throughout the Imperium - something Hard Times couldn't account for since the flattening of the Imperium by Virus and the re-imaging of Traveller as TNE wasn't even thought about when C Gannon was writing Hard Times - I have the draft outlines somewhere of how he would have resolved the Rebellion era, and some of the terms he came up with would find their way into TNE, but the Virus was Frank Chadwick's idea as a way to reboot eh setting.

The spread of Virus across the Imperium would have taken at least a few years, so there is overlap of Hard Times and Virus release.
