'''''Technical Readout: 3057''''' (''TRO:3057'') is the first book in the series of ''Technical Readouts'' (and after [[DropShips and JumpShips]] the second publication at all) that focuses on aerospace units, such as [[DropShip]]s, [[JumpShip]]s, [[WarShip]]s, [[small craft]], [[aerospace fighter]]s, [[OmniFighter]]s, space stations, and [[conventional aircraft]]. It is based on the ''[[BattleSpace]]'' ruleset and aims on thoroughly consolidating space vessel designs and clarifications of changed rules (in comparison to the older ''[[AeroTech]]'') in one book, including record sheets for ''BattleSpace''.

* ''Technical Readout: 3057'' is an unusual TRO in that it carries no land units. Further it changed the artwork from the earlier Technical Readout: 2750, which did not go over well with some fans. However, it did well enough in sales to allow for the creation of JumpShip and WarShip miniatures.

* Another unique feature of this TRO is that it contains only ''[[BattleSpace]]'' statistics for the [[Aerospace Fighter|fighters]] presented rather than full TRO-style entries. New artwork for a handful of fighters appears but the images are not assigned to specific fighters. These images presumably represented the fighters introduced in ''[[AeroTech#Notes|AeroTech]]'' that were not given artwork at the time.

* The WarShip prominently shown on the cover, a ''[[Leviathan (Heavy Transport)|Leviathan]]''-class Dreadnought, is a class that was not actually described within the book. It was first described in ''[[Technical Readout: 3067]]''. As of 3057, only two such ships were under construction, the ''[[Leviathan (Leviathan)]]'' and the ''[[Great Bear]]''. A photo of a miniature of the latter in ''[[AeroTech 2 Revised Edition]]'' showcasing its [[canon]]ical paint scheme depicts the Ghost Bear logo on a red field. Since such a red field is absent on the vessel depicted on the book's cover, it is presumably the ''Leviathan''.
