Over years of trying to make sense of canon, I've come to the conclusion that the "default setting" for Really Classic (i.e., pre-High Guard) Traveller is what the OTU calls the Long Night.
I think this makes a lot of sense. It also makes things interesting for the PCs in light of some of the adventures in Patrons.
