Do the 2 books on Traveler Hero include the setting information, what I am refering to is what some players like to call "Fluff". (I hate this term as I feel that it is more important than the mechanics)

the Traveler HERO books are done by ComStar games, not Hero Games. So, I would guess this is the wrong place to ask, heheh. Might be better to ask in Star Hero or at ComStar's own site.

Hero Systems v5(Revised) is Awesome!!!
Currently rewriting and redesigning my three 25+ yrs home grown campaign realms:
D&D v3.5 d20 convert to Fantasy Hero using HS V5 with House Rules
Gamma World d20 convert to Post Apocalyptic Hero using HS V5
Traveller convert to Traveller 1248 era and using Mongoose Traveller rules
Another awesome system is "Basic RolePlaying d100 system"

Traveller Hero Book One and Traveller Hero Book Two specifically DO NOT contain setting information, they are conversion books for races, equipment, starships, and other stuff.
You want the books Bygoneyrs pointed out for setting info.

As a minor correction: Avenger Enterprises is a design studio equally owned (partnership) between Martin Dougherty and ComStar. Avenger creates much of the Traveller material that we are putting out thru Mongoose. We are still able to publish Traveller fiction directly, and are considering creating material under the Foreven sector.
Translight is a percentile/skill based ruleset (based upon BRP/Runequest) for science fiction.
Martin and the Avenger team are finishing up playtest on TL, and also continuing to develop more Traveller material and our own setting called 'Far Avalon' (which had originally been planned for Traveller, but is now going to be released independent of the OTU).
Far Avalon will be released as a part of ComStar's Universe Project (which Avenger will continue to also work on developing material for, in addition to some others).
The Universe Project will include: Lightspeed, Far Avalon, and Astral Empires (which will be an empire building strategy and tactical game and flavor setting). We will also be releasing alien compendiums (we have two compendiums of 50 aliens each currently being written), and other materials.
