Has anyone got the Pyramid magazine Article: "Secrets of the Ine Givar"?

[Commander Truestar]

Hi,
This was started by someone else on Facebook, but I have taken it up too.
It is listed on the JTAS Traveller GURPS CD and the file the listing links to is: /05-JTASSJG/2016/2016-1001.2.html
-- But, that file is not present on the CD

Based on the above I have been through Pyramid, Oct 2016 and confirmed that article is not in that magazine

It is mentioned on the Traveller Wiki as: "Pyramid magazine Article: "Secrets of the Ine Givar" (October 1998)"
Annoyingly, I have been through Pyramid, Oct 1998 and confirmed that article is not in that magazine either

So, I'm wondering if anyone has it and can direct me to where to look?

Hi, and thank you.

I saw this but thought there might be more to the article than just that

It looks like you can order a PDF from them or the magazine from Noble Knight games.

Well maybe not? If you google "Secrets of The Ine Givar" and scroll down there is a link to a discussion on it in the Mongoose forum-Lore question-4FW/Zhodani/Ine Givar.

I have it in the digital archive as 1998/1001.2.html , which suggests October 1998 is right. It's probably two or three pages.

Sadly for me, I do not have access to that archive.
But, the research I've been doing has not turned up more than a blurb.
Can you confirm it is 2 or 3 pages and which issue it is in? I can always hunt for something for sale

I subscribed in 2007, which gave me access to the archives. There might not be any way to pay for those now that Volume 3, the PDF subscription, has ended - perhaps ask SJ Games? Looking back, it was a regular e-mail with article links, so I think (at least in 2007-8) they may have always been web pages and not in print or PDF, so there may be no issue number, fixed page count or anything physical to locate, sorry. Happy to be corrected.

Better history: http://www.sjgames.com/pyramid/vault-3.html
Wikipedia claims there were weekly issue numbers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_(magazine)#Volume_2 but what I have doesn't seem to contain any numbering matching the issue and article numbers they cited.
"rocking readers to this day" - Sort of. Volume 4 appeared through Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/warehouse23/steve-jackson-games-gurps-pyramid-scheme and another three issues were, as of November 2021, planned this year.

So I don't know if there's any chance that the "online magazine" content could be republished in some way, or for all I know some has been.

Thank you for your help
I wrote FFE today and Marc got back to me and provided me the article. So, my search is resolved

You went to the Mountain. I admit I never thought of that. Good work.

Interesting. I didn't realize Ine Givar was a person. So it's kind the Interstellar version of "I am Spartacus."
