Marc intended it to be Space Opera, pure and simple. He's said so in a number of venues. The reading list in Sup 4 is very much space opera...
MegaTraveller was done by DGP under license from GDW. Marc had limited input.
TNE was done by others at GDW, with only minimal input from Marc.
Marc admits to having approved both the Rebellion and the Virus.
