Traveller was one of the earliest published role-playing-game systems, originally designed by Marc Miller and first published by Game Designers Workshop (GDW) in 1977. It still has a rabid pack of followers despite the fact that GDW closed down in 1996. The publishing license has passed through a number of hands since then.Traveller was probably the first game of its kind to divorce the concept of skills from that of occupation or class. Characters did not enter the campaign young and untrained; rather, they had careers during which character development occurred. This was generally perceived as giving the game a more "three-dimensional" feel. While there were some assumptions about the campaign world, an interstellar setting called "the Spinward Marches", little actual information was initially provided, leaving the campaign world to the Referee's fertile imagination. The system wasn't static, though; the release of supplements and of subsequent editions of the system brought more detailed character generation, task systems, rules for skill improvement, and additional skills and rules for them. But Traveller isn't a role-playing system, because you can play GURPS Traveller, which is a different system entirely.Traveller eventually came to describe an interstellar community of sorts, focused on a "Third Imperium", of which the original Spinward Marches was merely a small frontier area. Published and well-regarded science fiction was a major source of inspiration for aliens and their societies, and for various aspects of technology. A broad history was mapped out, and cultural differences were developed and illustrated. This led to a background in many ways richer than that of previous role-playing settings, yet without significantly limiting the referee. Again, the setting wasn't static; every release of Traveller or Traveller supplements brought new information to light. But Traveller isn't a role-playing setting, though, because you can play Traveller in a setting that is unrecognizable in comparison to what's in published material.As with any RPG, Traveller can be an opportunity to develop characters, their likes, dislikes, habits, idiosyncrasies, motivations, and so on. The events of any particular session can be part of a grand story arc throughout the campaign, or not, if the players and referee choose not to play that way. The Traveller Supplements, over time, described a very-large-stroke history of the "Third Imperium", but the real story was in the gameplay and gamemaster's hands.There have been many editions, most of which are available in .pdf format from Far Future Enterprises:

Starfish Language: The language of the Hivers has no audio component and is basically a sign language. Since Hivers have six limbs and six eyestalks that are all used in their language, this makes it nearly impossible for a non-Hiver to communicate properly in it.

The Migration
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_12d4a4c2
comment
The Migration: Most notably Ihaiti (landless Aslan). Land is a biological obsession to Aslan males, and being landless makes for loss of status. Thus Ihaiti fleets are always travelling and have a reputation for not worrying about who is in the way. Often though they make a peaceful arrangement with a planet's inhabitants. Many planets have room to spare, and some are eager to have a Proud Warrior Race as allies to keep away their neighbors.

Hyperspace Lanes
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_142f2d88
comment
Hyperspace Lanes: Jump routes are limited mainly by the presence of fuel stops. As most ships can only jump one parsec at a time that means that most traffic follows places where the stars are one parsec apart. A ship equipped for the purpose can obtain fuel at a gas giant without landing in port. It is still necessary to be in-system.

comment
Flamethrower Backfire: Classic Traveller: The Dragon magazine #116 article "Aim and Burn" has several types of flamethrowers, each with their fuel supply in backpack tanks. On any penetrating hit from behind the tanks could explode, which would not only kill the user but cover a large area with burning fuel. The Journal of the Travellers' Aid Society #3 article "Advanced Powered Battle Armor". The armor has a built-in flamer (flamethrower) with a fuel tank on the back of the suit. If the tank is hit there's an 8% chance the tank will explode, disabling the suit and killing the wearer.

Early Game Hell
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_1527d90d
comment
Early Game Hell: Traveller's system of generating experienced characters helped to avoid this, but character generation itself could be hard to live through. In Classic Traveller Scout was the most dangerous career, and if you didn't have an Endurance of 9 or more you had roughly a 40% chance of death per term of service. Average characters in most careers have around 3-4 terms of service.

Secret Test: Imagine magazine #29, Traveller/Star Frontiers adventure "The Sarafand File". One of the adventure possibilities involves the starship Sarafand's main computer malfunctioning (much like the HAL 9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey). The crew must figure out how to fix the computer before it kills them. In fact, the whole situation is a set-up by the crew's superiors to test how they respond to the stress of impending death.

No Biochemical Barriers
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_17058a90
comment
No Biochemical Barriers: Averted, but somewhat played with. Half-alien hybrids are impossible, but most of the various species of humaniti are inter-fertile. This would be because they were all transplanted from Earth by the Ancients in the first place. The Vilani transplants found that they were almost completely biologically incompatible with their new homeworld. The upside was that the local diseases and parasites were uninterested in them. The downside was that all of their food required heavy processing to be edible. Cooks in Vilani society are viewed as spiritual leaders and the social equivalents of doctors in other human cultures. The Vilani are also notable for having had an interstellar civilization for thousands of years before they developed the germ theory of disease.

Order Versus Chaos
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_1a237409
comment
Order Versus Chaos The original Interstellar Wars, between the Vilani who were careful, venerable, but something of control freaks and the Solomani (Terrans) who were innovative, freedom-loving but rather reckless. The Solomani won but couldn't figure out how to run the empire they just conquered. This brought about The Long Night which lasted until the rise of the Third Imperium. The Zhodani are the most extreme example of order. Their regime is ruled over by a caste of psis who are allowed to look into their subjects minds and sometimes control them. Mere discontent is a crime and is easily found out. Zhos are used to it, and think being read by a mind reader is no more embarrassing than being examined by a doctor. But non-Zhos think it to be a Fate Worse than Death. Vargr by contrast are the epitome of chaos. They live in ill-organized groups that are led by the one with the most "charisma". They also consider piracy a respectable profession.

comment
Our Orcs Are Different: The Ithklur, a Proud Warrior Race that serves in a "gurkha-like" role for the Hivers. They are reptilian and are formidable soldiers. They fit the later adaptation more than the Tolkienite Always Chaotic Evil Mooks. They are all Boisterous Bruisers and think War Is Glorious, but are also often good natured. Though they delight in violence it is in the Blood Knight sense rather than the For the Evulz sense. In fact not only do they delight in violence they think it hones their intelligence so that school classrooms are marked by roughhousing as a natural part of a lesson.

comment
Death by Origin Story / Press Start to Game Over: The original version of the character generation system frequently killed player characters before play began. Dying during character creation was made an optional rule in most of the later editions, with a failed survival roll now meaning that your character simply entered play at that point, sometimes with a large medical debt.

 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_1cc48ee9
comment
Multicultural Alien Planet: The Aslan are divided into many different clans with their own parochial customs, though they do have an underlying shared culture and language. The Vargr have no rhyme or reason to their organization. Just about every variety of culture or government system can be found somewhere in the Vargr Extents. The Vargr are also notably multi-lingual. The Third Imperium is also very diverse, with a variety of different government and cultural types. You can easily find small rural anarchies one parsec over from oppressive urban dictatorships, or even on the same planet. Some of the alien cultures work actively towards promoting a homogenous culture in the space they control, such as the Hivers with their embassies, the Zhodani with their psionic ruling caste, and the K'Kree with their religious quest for a carnivore-free universe.

Adventure-Friendly World: One of the best in RPGs.

Space Fighter: These are present in nearly all versions of the game, but their effectiveness depends on the specific version of the game, and is also an issue of fanon debate. Typically they are near-useless against the larger capital ships of the setting but can be threats to the small ships most player groups have access to.

Hyperspace Is a Scary Place
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_204a1207
comment
Hyperspace Is a Scary Place: Usually jump travel is pretty safe. But rarely, ships can go into jumpspace and not come out. Or come out at a random destination; or hundreds of years later, with only a week passing aboard ship, or vice versa. Naturally enough, spacers have all kinds of superstitions regarding jumpspace. In most editions, close exposure to jumpspace (usually resulting from battle damage to the hull and the grid that forms the "jump bubble" of normal space around the ship) and its… different laws of physics can cause insanity and other bad effects in sophonts.

Proud Scholar Race: The Darrians are a minor human race who value scientific inquiry and peaceful conflict resolution. Before they accidentally destroyed their civilization with the Star Trigger they attained a higher tech level than any society in Charted Space today, and they still have some artifacts from that time. They are in a Forever War with their neighbors the Sword Worlders who are a Proud Warrior Race.

Aborted Arc: Because no versions of the game set after The New Era have been made, there are no "official" answers to the questions it's Meta Plot raised, like "what was behind the Black Curtain?", "what was the Empress Wave?", and "did a Fourth Imperium ever rise to take the place of the Third?" The 1248 setting started to address some of these, but than lost its license in favor of the more traditional Mongoose Traveller.

Ability Depletion Penalty: Classic Traveller Book 4 Mercenaries. Certain weapons with automatic fire capacity (e.g. light machine gun and very rapid fire gauss gun) have a maximum number of bursts they can fire safely in a single combat round. If they exceed that limit, each additional burst fired increases the chance that the weapon will overheat and jam. If this happens, the jam has to be cleared before the weapon can fire again.

Earth That Used to Be Better: Earth is known as the homeworld of all Humaniti and was the capital of the Terran Confederation which conquered the First Imperium. But by the time of the Third Imperium, while Earth still has cultural significance to the Solomani it is largely unimportant outside of its own sector. It is also occupied by Imperial military forces and has a military government that has been in place since the last war with the Solomani a few decades ago.

Awesome, but Impractical
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_2bdae2ae
comment
Awesome, but Impractical: Battle dress in any non-military campaign. It's invulnerable to small arms, it gives you Super-Strength, and some models have a built-in BFG, but it's also illegal to even possess on most worlds and is extremely conspicuous. It's also very expensive both to purchase and repair. Laser Weapons are some of the most effective in the game, can be used in zero-g environments without worrying about recoil, and carry a lot of ammo that is easily recharged. However they are also illegal on many worlds, meaning they'll often have to be left on the ship to avoid trouble with local law enforcement. The Black Globe generator completely blocks all damage to a starship it is installed on, but it has some serious drawbacks. The biggest problem is that it is a two-way barrier - you can't fire your own weapons out or maneuver your ship, or even see outside the field while it's on. Most globes are set to "flicker" to get around this, but this also reduces the protection it provides. The other big problem is that it will overload and explode if it absorbs too much energy from enemy weapons fire. It is also amazingly rare and expensive, being experimental technology. Most Ancient artifacts fall into this category as well. They are all far more powerful than anything else in the setting, but they are illegal to possess and an obvious target for theft by everyone else. Most Referees will make sure they don't stay in the player's possession for long.

Exotic Extended Marriage
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_3012325a
comment
Exotic Extended Marriage: Apart from the referee being able to make any given human society use these, several of the aliens have extended marriages as part of their cultures: The natural biological balance of Aslan females to male is roughly 3 to 1. Aslan males with land therefore tend to have multiple wives. An Aslan male who defeats another in warfare or a duel usually takes the wives of the loser along with his land and possessions, though the wives can choose to leave and seek their fortune elsewhere. The Droyne form extended families called oytrips that include members of all of their castes, usually with one Leader but variable numbers of the other castes. K'kree are polygamous, with the females expected to dedicate themselves to child rearing while the males protect the herd by exterminating meat-eaters.

Space Pirates
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_305bcbb9
comment
Space Pirates: They are probably the attackers of the Beowulf on the original cover, and they have often been a career option, so they definitely exist in the Third Imperium setting. The realism of space piracy is a cult-controversy among Traveller fans, rather akin to the "do Balrogs have wings?" question in Tolkien fandom. The issue is so controversial that Mongoose Traveller's notes on piracy feature a "Flame War Warning" sidebar. Vargr Corsairs (which are somewhat different) as well as pirates from other races often appear in published adventrues. As well as more respectable privateers. Mongoose Traveller 2nd Edition has "The Pirates of Drinax" campaign setting, which is all about the players building their own space pirate empire, starting with one technologically advanced ship and a single pirate base. Rules are supplied for setting up additional pirate bases, what to do with prize ships, and how to avoid provoking the Third Imperium and the Aslan too much. The nominal goal of the campaign is to make the planet Drinax the new capital of a reformed ancient empire and be retroactively declared legitimate privateers by the new Emperor, though the players can of course go their own route.

Money Dumb: Male Aslan take it to an extreme. Math of any sort (including finance) is considered a skill for females, and higher-class males typically have no idea how money works at all.

Not Worth Killing: In Interstellar Wars the Vilani don't bother making a real effort to subjugate the Terrans because they are "just another barbarian tribe". By the time they learn differently, it is the Vilani who are being subjugated.

The original Interstellar Wars, between the Vilani who were careful, venerable, but something of control freaks and the Solomani (Terrans) who were innovative, freedom-loving but rather reckless. The Solomani won but couldn't figure out how to run the empire they just conquered. This brought about The Long Night which lasted until the rise of the Third Imperium.

Sword Cane Space Gamer article "Tools for Terrorists". The sword cane has a foil (sword) inside of it. It weighs one kilogram and costs 150 credits. Once drawn from the cane, the foil can be used normally. The scabbard can be used to parry other melee weapons. FASA's The FCI Consumer Guide. The sword cane is a walking stick consisting of a foil covered by a wooden sheath. Once removed, the sheath can be used to parry enemy melee attacks.

Staged Populist Uprising: Classic Supplement 6 76 Patrons. Two of the missions involve a rebel uprising in the country of Anisinta on the planet Porozlo. The PC are hired by a group of business executives to either create a rebel force to overthrow the government or take over an existing rebel group for the same purpose. The executives intend to profit by making the government more friendly to business. In the 3rd Imperium's Spinward Marches, the Ine Givar rebels are under the control of and supplied by the Imperium's enemy, the Zhodani Consulate. Classic Adventure 7 Broadsword. On the planet Garda-Vilis the Tanoose Freedom League was originally a home-grown rebellion against off-world control by the planet Vilis, but eventually came under the control of the Ine Givar rebels and switched to an anti-Imperial stance.

Horde of Alien Locusts: The Chamax Horde will eventually consume all other animal life on a planet. Fortunately they are not intelligent and so are restricted to their own world, but since their introduction in The Chamax Plague/Horde, stray Chamax have shown up here and there in other published adventures. The main antagonist in the Deepnight Endeavor boxed set, the Deepnight Entity seeks to consume all organic matter in the galaxy, and is incapable of restraining itself from doing so no matter how intelligent it becomes and even when it knows that this is ultimately self-defeating. The best it can plan to do is establish a cycle of moving from world to world, allowing life to recover in its wake.

Rapid Aging: Imagine magazine #29, Traveller/Star Frontiers adventure "The Sarafand File". One of the adventure involves an ancient biological weapon. If the game system being used is Traveller, characters infected by the disease age at a rate of 1 year per hour using the standard aging rules (loss of Strength, Dexterity and Endurance). This will cause them to die within a couple of days unless they find some way of curing the disease.

Class and Level System
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_3698e0f
comment
Class and Level System: The original Traveller was an innovator here, in that the classes (careers) were only important during character generation and the closest thing to "level" was your rank, which some careers didn't even have and which only occasionally granted higher skill levels. Once character generation was over you were free to pursue whatever career you wished, but there was little to no character improvement after character generation. Later versions that weren't running on another rules system kept this basic structure but gave better options for learning new skills.

 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_39b35d2b
comment
Privateer: Goes together with having Space Pirates, of course. The Third Imperium officially reserves to itself the right to issue letters of Marque and only occasionally issues them. Member substates and power blocks sometimes hire space mercenaries but these are not supposed to depend on plunder for their upkeep. When exactly that rule is violated is rather blurry. It probably depends on what the local Imperial Noble considers appropriate to the interests of the Imperium and/or himself. One of the goals of the "Pirates of Drinax" campaign is to restore the old Sindal Empire with Drinax as the new capital. The King of Drinax issues the Travellers a Letter of Marque and a spaceship that can be used as a commerce raider to start things off. If they succeed in forcing the major players in the sector to recognize Drinax's authority as legitimate this will retroactively make the Travellers legitimate privateers in the service of the Crown rather than dirty Space Pirates that anyone can execute if they catch them.

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Virus from The New Era is a combination of this and Gone Horribly Right. Virus isn't A.I. in the conventional sense of the word; it's more like an extremely opportunistic, intelligent parasite that can convert anything with a computer in it into an intelligent life form with an obsession to kill. The crapshoot aspect is that it was designed to self-destruct a short time after being introduced into an enemy computer network and going on its rampage, but some strains of Virus after it was released mutated and lost the "suicide" drive while keeping the homicidal behavior. Oops.

War Is Glorious The Aslan Zig Zag this. They are certainly a Proud Warrior Race. But they have an elaborate code to minimize violence and even when war occurs it will likely be through such means as Combat by Champion. Aslan are warriors but they are not stupid. Azhanti are a human Proud Warrior Race who have a religion that demands seeking challenges. As war is one of the most popular methods of doing this they in essence consider war a path to heaven. The Ithklur, a Proud Warrior Race of Boisterous Bruisers that serves the Hivers. Or, as the Ithklur tell it, they let the Hivers take them to places where they can fight interesting new people.

Vagueness Is Coming
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_45ad2569

Vagueness Is Coming: The whole "Empress Wave" Meta Plot of the New Era. Some sort of psychic phenomenon which includes images of an "Empress" is emanating from the core, moving at lightspeed, and it seems to badly affect anyone psionic. It turns out to be the reason the Emperor was not on Capital to be assassinated and why he sent his son to the Regency. It's the reason for the civil war in Zhodani space and lots of Zhodani refuges in the Regency. However, because no later versions of the game have been set after the wave reached Charted Space it's never really been explained any further and is something of an Aborted Arc.

Design-It-Yourself Equipment: The original Traveller featured starship design rules, mostly for use by the Referee but player characters could use them to modify their starship or even build one from scratch (if they were patient and had lots of money). Most of the later editions feature vehicle and weapon design systems too. The complexity of the rules and scope of what can be designed varies from edition to edition. Some Traveller players spend much more time designing spaceships, vehicles, and gear than they do sitting at a table with other players playing the game.

In Agent of the Imperium Margaret I is shown to be a mild example, a royal brat who ascended the throne at the age of four who took on and dismissed advisers on whims, and thought that glassing a planet of fifty billion was an acceptable way to close a voting loophole. The titular agent, who had scrubbed dozens of planets over his centuries-long career, thought that was too much and assassinated her. The official story in The Emperor's List (from Classic Traveller, written decades earlier) simply said, "died in a tunnel collapse without issue in 736."

Body Horror: What the Deepnight Entity from the Deepnight Revelation campaign set is all about. It infects victims with "spores" that are really individual cells of the creature that slowly eat the victim from within, starting with their nervous system. The victim at first just feels strong compulsions to do things like infect other people, but eventually degenerates into a mostly mindless "shambler" searching for food for the creature until they themselves become food for the central cluster. Meanwhile the Entity gets smarter with every victim it absorbes, and eventually develops psionic powers.

Single-Biome Planet: The basic world creation rules can result in Desert Planets, Ice Planets, Garden Worlds, Ocean Planets, etc. but these are generally justified - what else are you going to call a planet with 95% water coverage, or where nowhere on the surface is above freezing temperature? The more detailed world creation rules found outside the core rules avert the trope, providing varied landforms and climates that change with latitutde.

Many of the sentient naturally-evolved computer "Chips" of Cymbeline (featured in the Classic adventure Signal GK) were scooped up and converted in Imperial research labs into the sentient weapon of mass destruction that became Virus. The remainder on the planet were nuked from orbit to prevent anyone else from re-creating Virus. Lucan's Imperial faction, being ruled by a power-mad tyrant bent on destroying his rivals at any cost, did this sort of thing all the time.

Happy Ending Override: The Meta Plot of MegaTraveller featured the assassination of the Emperor and fracture of the Third Imperium into warring factions. As the following adventures and supplements showed interstellar society continuing to break down and conditions getting worse and worse, many fans began to wonder which faction would win the war and if their characters would see the Imperium restored. The answer revealed by the next edition: Nobody could win such a war, and the Imperium wouldn't be restored for at least hundreds of years.

Asteroid Thicket Adventure 1: The Kinunir. While a ship is in the Shionthy asteroid belt, there is a 1 in 36 chance per hour that it will contact a speck of antimatter. The resulting explosion will severely damage the ship. Beltstrike boxed set. The asteroid Jarlsson's Doom is closely surrounded by a swarm of smaller asteroids. If the Player Characters aren't extremely careful flying through it, they have a base 86% chance of colliding with an asteroid. This will cause the ship to be either damaged or (if it takes a critical hit) destroyed.

AlternateCharacterInterpretation
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_54f999c
comment
Alternate Character Interpretation: Nearly everything in Traveller can have an alternate interpretation - by design. invoked The Imperium itself can be viewed as a peaceful and benevolent federation that lets its worlds largely govern themselves or as an oppressive, tyrannical empire that cares only about the taxes it receives, or anywhere in between. Even in the same interpretation, a world's treatment is entirely based on the whims and competence of the local lords, meaning to one world the Imperium is an oppressive force that terrorizes their population in order to ensure access to local phlebotinum, while to another they're just the guys who maintain the starport and provide all kinds of goodies for just another percentage of taxes. The Zhodani are also especially open to this. The Imperium plays up their Fantastic Caste System, Brainwashing for the Greater Good, and the repeated wars they've fought with them. The Consulate itself plays up their efficient government, universal health care (mental as well as physical), and military strength. And of course, they're often considered a promised land by individuals who develop Psychic Powers, since they're the only nation in charted space where psionics are not anathema.

Wire Dilemma: In the Classic Judges Guild adventure Darthanon Queen there are several bombs planted aboard the title starship. Each has three wires: red, black and green. To disarm a bomb the red and black wires must be cut. If the green wire is cut the person doing so will have to be scraped off the nearest wall with a spatula.

Casual Interstellar Travel: It's practically the name of the game. It might be considered a little less casual than many other settings, since it takes two years or more to get from one end of the Imperium to another with a fast ship.

Single-Species Nations: Non-human interstellar empires include the K'kree's Two Thousand Worlds, the Hiver Federation, and the Aslan Hierate. The Vargr cannot hold a stable government together, but the region of space they've colonized is known as the Vargr Extents. Humanity is the exception again, with at least four ethnically based empires at the standard era plus the multi-ethnic Third Imperium (the First and Second were ruled by the Vilani and Solomani, humans from Vland and Sol respectively).

United Space of America: the Terran Confederation. Justified in that the Terran Confederation is only a few generations into the future, close enough time for the culture not to have changed unrecognizably. For this reason the Intersteller Wars era is a good entry level period for players as it does not require roleplaying a strange culture (a fun exercise of course, but one for which some might prefer to wait until they've practiced a bit more). If you consider roughly 150 years from now to be only a few generations that is. But the justification does work well enough for the purpose and is somewhat more believable than 3000 years from now having the same culture as the players.

Fantastic Racism
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_57b80b45
comment
Fantastic Racism: Between humans and aliens, different human subspecies, and in some cases natives of different planets. Heck, sometimes natives within different planets too. The K'kree are the worst in this regard. They think all carnivore races are a plague to be extinguished or at least brutally reeducated into veganism. The Sword Worlders think every Darian is an Insufferable Genius and Darians think Sword Worlders are a Barbarian Tribe. A cynic might say both are right. Some Vilani and Solomani still hate each other thousands of years after the Intersteller Wars. This is not universal however. Every race that claims to have invented jump drive separately is a major race. The rest are minor races. There is a curious dispute over that with regard to Aslan whom some Solomani claimed to have "stolen" (whatever that means) jump drive from them. They're right - the Aslan reverse-engineered their drive from a crashed Solomani ship, but the Aslan aren't about to be labeled a minor race.

comment
Unreliable Canon: Canon can be changed according to the will of the players or referee naturally enough, and many distinguish between canon and their Traveller universe. Some of the side-stories contain narratives by people who are obviously unreliable, for instance because they are criminals or because they are ideological extremists. Some of the library data In-Universe makes the disclaimer that it has a potential bias based on where it was written.

The Milky Way Is the Only Way: Due to the limitations of the Jump Drive, only a tiny portion of the Milky Way has been explored by the end of the Third Imperium, and other galaxies are far, far out of reach. Even the Zhodani core expeditions, which they have been sending periodically for the past five thousand years, have yet to reach the core of the galaxy.

Intrepid Merchant: Free Traders. Who are constantly in a desperate struggle to survive by their wits, on the frontier. A Free Trader centered game is one of the most popular because of its flexibility and the ease with which a small number of characters can fit in. It can have recognizable similarities to Firefly in some ways, but it is set in an even more complex universe. While the Space Trucker variety described above is a favorite possibility, there are several types of Intrepid Merchants that can be imagined.

Sword Fight: While the modern Marine sword drill consists of little more than a salute, the Imperial Marines in Traveller are trained to use their cutlasses in combat. Often this is more for sport (and sometimes dueling) than combat; there are however low-tech worlds in the Traveller Universe. As well, sometimes boarding parties find it inadvisable to start slinging bullets and grenades and laser beams around in close proximity to the reactors in the engine room and appreciate having additional tactical options.

Sacred Hospitality Vilani consider it rude to force a guest to sleep at a hotel. Rather the local VIP picks someone to billet a visitor. They are responsible for ensuring that the guest is well kept. Aslan, as one would expect of a Proud Warrior Race have a lot of rituals to do with this. In one sidestory there is told a tale of a wounded Aslan warrior who was being tended by a rival clan according to The Laws and Customs of War. When this Aslan's clan made a raid he was obligated to help defend, and in doing so slew his own brother in a display of honor before kinship. After this the two clans made peace and this deed was remembered ever after.

The Musketeer: Imperial Marines are trained in both firearms and the cutlass, probably because it's useful to have a weapon that won't puncture a starship's hull during boarding actions. Aslan warriors often are equally proficient with firearms or bladed weapons, and K'kree warriors like to use pole-arms as well as modern weapons.

Standard Sci-Fi History: Once in their glory days the Vilani ruled over a vast domain for thousands of years. When they fell into complacency a Barbarian Tribe from an Insignificant Little Blue Planet seized the worlds of the Vilani in a series of conquests. However these too fell from their glory and darkness fell on the universe. Then under the reign of Cleon Zhunastu the Third Imperium was founded to explore and colonize and rise to claim the legacy of the two great empires before it. The Imperium stands to this day shining the light of civilization across the stars. But at the borders chaos reigns. Rival empires plot and scheme, warlords clash, pirates plunder and alien races seek their dominion. It is not a safe universe.

comment
Bizarre Alien Reproduction: The Hivers are all hermaphrodites, and transfer reproductive material with an act called "shaking hands" that only takes a few moments. Hiver culture and genetic uniformity is maintained by "embassies" which travel throughout Federation space and breed with the locals. Hivers are near-constantly dropping new larval Hivers wherever they go, and larval Hivers are considered minor pests until they have grown a few years. If there are no local predators on a Hiver planet that can eat larval Hivers, they import them, and they regularly fumigate their ships to kill the larva if they are going to land on non-Hiver worlds.

Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_66181568
comment
Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions Averted. Religion is still a part of Traveller life and there is room enough for anything the GM and players desire; even their own Real Life religion if it pleases them. The Backstory does not go to much effort designing religions (deliberately so, apparently, to avoid causing tension between the players) for the game but one or two plausible ones are made such as the K'kree beliefs or the Aslan Fteir code of honor or the Shugalii chef-priests (they actually seem more like Jewish rabbis than priests) of the Vilani. Actually the best comparison to Shugalii might be Kosher-butchers. The volume Humaniti does a good job in describing in-verse religions. The Maar Zon faith of Sylea seems to be a form of Deism but is less abstract than the Terran Deism of the eighteenth century. It has customs that seem similar to some Terran religions. The Vilani seem to be agnostics but have a code of honor that vaguely resembles Confucianism. Bwaps are nature worshipers of a sort that emphasize nature as representing order. Many Sword Worlders are Aesirists which is a form of Nordic-style Neopaganism. One of the more interesting aspects of the Maar Zon is the idea that ideas are free. This is said to have come from days when the Vilani Imperium (who once oppressed the Syleans) would use inordinate and draconian intellectual property laws to ensure that technology could not be used outside the will of the ruling class. Under this theory, it was originally a Take That! to the Vilani. As the Maar Zon is dated from before the arrival of the Vilani, actual adherants of the Maar Zon faith think this idea has Unfortunate Implications.

We Will Wear Armor in the Future
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_66ff4a54
comment
We Will Wear Armor in the Future: Due to the general lethality of combat, armour is all but required to survive more than a couple shots. Besides Battle Dress available armours range from practically useless leather (jack) to full combat armour that requires a laser or gauss rifle to really penetrate. There's also reflec that only defends against lasers and can be added to other types of armour. However most armour tend to be a higher tech level and much more expensive than the weapons that can pierce it.

Instant A.I.: Just Add Water! Classic edition. In Adventure 13 Signal GK, the PCs will encounter a naturally occurring silicon computer chip that has become intelligent. The New Era had some sort of vaguely explained Virus that could turn ANY sufficiently advanced computer into an AI, usually a homicidally deranged one. It turns out Virus was developed from the Chips in Signal GK, so these are actually two different versions of the same life form.

And Your Reward Is Clothes: One of the potential mustering out benefits in several versions of the game is "Armor", which lets your character choose a nice set of armor to use in play. Earlier editions allowed characters to obtain Battledress this way. Later editions usually restrict the benefit to much less powerful, but still nice, armor.

During the Hiver-K'kree war the Hivers manipulated a few K'kree colonies into this to bring an end to the conflict (the K'kree navy sterilized the worlds in question).

Humans Advance Swiftly: Both averted and played straight. In the backstory, the Vilani were first in many technological developments (especially the jump drive), but advanced extremely slowly compared to the Solomani, who were ahead of them in some areas when first contact occurred and within 200 years had outpaced them in everything. It's a cultural thing, though, as both races are biologically humans. A few thousand years later the Third Imperium, a mixture of the Vilani and Solomani, is more technologically advanced than all of its neighbors except possibly the Hivers. That includes two neighbors, the Solomani and Zhodani, who are both biologically human. So Imperial humans have in fact advanced more swiftly than the other races.

First contact for humans from Earth revealed that most of the galaxy near Earth was already occupied by an ancient Human Alien empire that had simply considered anyone outside their borders insignificant. The news that space was already colonized - by other humans - did not go over well on Earth, and the Interstellar Wars were the result.

Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: The Emperor sometimes issues an Imperial Warrant to people specifically chosen as troubleshooters that allows him to overrule standard procedure in areas specified by the warrant. Typically this will be used for special missions like overseeing a Peace Conference or what not. Standard operating procedure in Agent of the Imperium. The titular agent is a recorded personality who is "activated" when a crisis arises by placing his chips in the chip jack of an expendable volunteer, usually a minor naval officer. Because he operates under an Imperial Edict the agent is considered the personal representative of the Emperor and has full powers to act as the Emperor would if he were present.

2-D Space
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_7976e429
comment
2-D Space: All of the maps of the Imperium and its sectors are flat. Various handwaves have been suggested over the years, including the maps being jumpspace rather than realspace maps or the distances in the z-dimension being small enough (on a galactic scale) to be "flattened out". The real reason is, of course, Acceptable Breaks from Reality - it is significantly easier to print, and to play with, two-dimensional maps. As far back as the early '80s Marc Miller noted that some players had indeed mapped their sectors in three dimensions. Presumably it involved a lot of trigonometry.

Cargo Concealment Caper: In Game 3 Azhanti High Lightning, adventure IV "The Great Wine Heist". The Imperium regularly ships bottles of the wine Tokaj Eszencia from Earth to the Imperial Capital. Some adventurers smuggle themselves onto the ship Imperial Reaumur in crates of cargo and try to steal the wine the ship is carrying. Early in The Traveller Adventure, the Player Characters need to get the Vargr named Gvoudzon off the planet Aramis without going through customs. One way suggested to do so is to smuggle him onto their ship in a box of cargo.

Transplanted Humans: An exceptional example in that the Ancients ruled local space from around 310,000 to 290,000 years ago, which is roughly when humans first evolved. Thus, the groups of humans the Ancients transplanted to other worlds are extreme speciations, as their Earthbound descendants were winnowed out by the Toba catastrophe. Most psionics are from these alternate lineages.

Expanded Universe: There has been suprisingly little of Traveller produced in other media: Two MegaTraveller video games were released in the early '90s. To date these remain the only official Traveller video games, though some other games have obviously taken inspiration from Traveller, such as the classic Elite. There are a few unofficial Traveller novel series, such as Gregory P. Lee's The Laughing Lip and Jefferson Swycraft's Concordant series, both of which acknowledged their inspiration in Traveller but don't officially take place within the universe of the Third Imperium. The first licensed Traveller novels were published during The New Era edition in the mid-'90s. Two books of a planned trilogy called The Death of Wisdom were published before GDW shut down. Due to the shutdown and a lost manuscript there are two entirely different versions of the third book written by two different authors now available, both called The Backward Mask and sharing characters from the first two books, but with entirely different plots . The heavy metal band "The Lord Weird Slough Feg" produced a Concept Album called Traveller based on the game. Mongoose Publishing has published some official Traveller short fiction along with its second edition of the game. Some of the stories are backstory for the "Pirates of Drinax" campaign, while others are stand-alone short-stories. Designer Marc Miller published his first novel, Agent of the Imperium in 2015. It is the only officially licensed full-length Traveller novel published since The Death of Wisdom trilogy in the '90s mentioned above. The Traveller CCG was published in 2018 after a successful Kickstarter. It has received a few expansions.

Vestigial Empire: The Vilani Imperium had been this for thousands of years with its organization on autopilot and survived only because it hadn't had a competitor in ages. When they met the Terrans they were in for a big surprise. Not least because Terrans were only recently united and still remembered how to fight.

The first edition of Mongoose Traveller produced the most splats of any edition. They did their own versions of Mercenary, Highguard, Scouts, and Merchant Princes and followed those up with Psion, Agent, Scoundrel, Dilettante, and Cosmopolite (careers like "colonist" and "scientist"). They also did their own set of Alien Modules, as well, and there are also a number of supplements with vehicles, ships, more equipment, various sector books, and so on.

Made a Slave
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_8437cb10
comment
Made a Slave: Forbidden in the Imperium but sometimes done underground. It is not said what slaves can do that machines can't (other than the obvious inference of course). In the Sword Worlds capital crimes are sometimes punished with enslavement. For a little more insight into the Imperium's stance: Slavery is heavily punished, 99 out of 100 times. That last time (namely on a planet in the Spinward Marches) dismantling the slavery system that evolved on the planet would have caused more misery and death than leaving it in place, and so the Imperium allowed it, but under very heavy supervision to ensure that abuses didn't happen.

comment
The Usual Adversaries: The Zhodani started out as the "go-to" bad guys of the setting, with their nefarious agents being behind almost everything. As they became more detailed in the setting they evolved into a more well-rounded race that can still be adversaries but could be allies in some situations; or you could even play a campaign where the players are all Zhodani and the Imperium are the usual adversaries. Other common adversaries in published adventures have included the Alsan, K'kree, Vargr corsairs, pirates in general, corrupt mega-corporations,and the Ine Givar terrorist group.

The Imperium itself and several other intersteller states have a prejudice against psionics, robotics, and cybernetics and limit them to specific circumstances. This makes the Imperium itself a mild form of Space Amish in the future. It also justifies a few aspects such as We Will Use Manual Labor in the Future, and having Badass Armys, instead of clouds of nanites or hordes of robots and in general gives it a more heroic and personal feel. Taboo technology, can of course still be found in a lost city, or a secret Imperial research station, or whatever.

comment
Civil War: Two of particular note: Four-and-a-half centuries before the main setting of the game a succession of Emperors fought each other for the throne over the course of eighteen years. It started when Grand Admiral of the Marches Olav-hault Plankwell decided the Empress had mismanaged the last border war with the Zhodani, so he personally assassinated her and took the throne. Other admirals decided this tactic could work for them too. The war averaged one Emperor per year. It ended when Grand Admiral of the Marches Arbellatra note somewhat ironically hault-Plankwell's direct successor in the post, who had to fight another border war with the Zhodani when they tried to take advantage of the Imperium's disarray during the Civil War defeated the last pretender in battle and declared herself regent until a descendant of the last legitimate empress could be found rather than taking the throne herself. After seven years of effective leadership with no heir located the Imperial Moot decided to invite Arbellatra herself to accept the crown as Empress, which had probably been her plan all along. Arbellatra founded the dynasty that ruled the Third Imperium until: The Second Civil War, known as the Rebellion, took place after the Emperor Strephon, the Empress Iolanthe, and their heir the Grand Princess Iphegenia were all assassinated by one of his own archdukes, Dulinor. Lucan, the next in line to the throne, was strongly suspected of having killed his own slightly older twin brother Varian so that he could take the throne himself, and quickly proved to be The Caligula. With no clear choice for Emperor the Imperium descended into warfare and factionalism. The introduction of the Virus super-weapon proved to be the final nail in the coffin. The death toll was in the trillions, and at least several centuries passed before civilization would recover and a new Imperium could be restored. At least, we assume there was eventually a Fourth Imperium. The official game line has never continued the Meta Plot after the New Era setting.

Space Opera: The standard scope of the game, although the game your Referee runs doesn't have to be Space Opera. There's a definite hard science fiction feel to the technical limitations of the weapons, the tight parameters for ship design, etc. The character creation system encourages characters with human-scale abilities and limitations, not even Heinlein-style Competent Men, let alone larger-than-life heroes. Contrast this with, for example, Star Wars d20, in which you can't not play space opera.

The Six Stats
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_8b387569
comment
The Six Stats: Strength, Dexterity, Endurance, Intellect, Education, and Social Standing. They are usually generated with a 2d6 roll, but can be boosted up to 15 for humans during character generation. Classic Traveller had some alien races substitute a different stat for Social Standing, often generated with just a 1d6 roll. The K'kree used Caste, the Vargr used Charisma, the Solomani used Party standing, and the Hivers used Curiosity. The Droyne replaced two of the stats - Education became Sense (Psionic potential) and Social Status became Caste, and all of the Droyne attributes were generated with a single d6. For humans the seventh attribute is Psionic potential, but only trained psions have that attribute. The Traveller Companion includes rules for several optional stats, including Wealth, Luck, Morale, and Sanity, along with variant rules for Social Standing. Using them all would mean that characters could have as many as 11 stats.

The Aslan Zig Zag this. They are certainly a Proud Warrior Race. But they have an elaborate code to minimize violence and even when war occurs it will likely be through such means as Combat by Champion. Aslan are warriors but they are not stupid.

Ransom Drop: In the classic supplement "The Traveller Adventure", when the people who kidnapped Lisa Fireaux realize that the Player Character's group includes the Vargr character Gvoudzon, they demand that he drop off Lisa's ransom. If he does so, they kidnap him as well, keep the ransom, and don't release Lisa.

Spare to the Throne: Dulinor's plan for assassination of the Emperor in the MegaTraveller backstory included also killing the Empress, the Imperial Grand Princess who was the Emperor's heir and his twin nephews who were next in line after her. If the plan had succeeded there may have been no rebellion. Dulinor succeeded in killing the Emperor, Empress, and Grand Princess himself, but the assassin assigned to the twins fumbled the attempt, and Lucan the younger twin used the opportunity to kill his older brother Varian and ascend the throne. It did not end well. Duke Norris in the Classic timeline was also a second son, and was not expected to inherit the Duchy of Regina until his older brother unexpectedly died. Norris turned out to be an exceptional leader.

Corrupted Data: In Traveller - The New Era, one of the side effects of infestation by the Virus was a corruption of information transmission, such as Traveller News Service bulletins in Traveller products being replaced by random characters. One of the signs that the Virus had been defeated was Traveller News Service bulletins becoming partially and then fully readable again.

Replaced with Replica: In The Traveller Adventure, the campaign kicks off with the PCs trying to steal a brooch from a museum. One possible tactic is to create a duplicate of the brooch and leave it in place of the real brooch so the museum personnel won't realize that it's been stolen...at least for a while.

One of the earliest retcons was the Hiver. The original descriptions of aliens in Traveller said they were a Hive Mind. That was retconned fairly early on to the Hivers as we now know them, and the name "Hiver" was now based on a misconception of the people who first met them and the shape of their buildings.

Apocalypse How: Both the Long Night and the Rebellion resulted in light Class X-3s, with the fall of interstellar civilization in each case. The Ancients also apparently had a Class X-3, warring themselves into extinction hundreds of thousands of years before any other race had the jump drive. The Darrians caused their own Class 3 on Darrian.

Living Gasbag Journal of the Travellers' Aid Society #17 "Contact: The Jagd-II-Jagd": The Jagd-II-Jagd are an intelligent alien race that live in the atmospheres of gas giant planets. They have spherical bodies filled with a number of compartments. They absorb hydrogen and other gasses from the gas giant's atmosphere, store them in the compartments and use them for buoyancy and propulsion. #18 "The Bestiary": The Luugiir are aliens who look like small hot air balloons . They convert sunlight into electricity and use it to obtain hydrogen from water. They store the hydrogen in their gas bag, which causes them to float in the air. They have a maneuvering jet that expels air and allows them to move in a specific direction. Challenge magazine #27 "Bestiary": The adult Oegongong aliens use a biological form of electrolysis to generate hydrogen from seawater. They use it to fill the sacs on their back: when the sacs become huge and balloon-like they float into the air and travel over the land where they drop their eggs. FASA's supplement Rescue on Galatea: On the title planet lives an aquatic alien creature called the muqath, which is like a jellyfish with a shell. It has sacs filled with lighter-than-air gas that it uses for flight. Spacefarer's Guide to Alien Monsters The floater is an alien creature whose body is a bag containing hydrogen gas, which allows it to float through the air. It has electrically charged tentacles which descend below it. The tentacles stun any creatures they touch and drag them up to the floater to be eaten. The Harundali are a race of aliens shaped like jellyfish who come from gas giant planets. They can store hydrogen in their bodies and use it to float in the air. The lanceballoon's body is an oval-shaped gasbag filled with helium, which allows it to float in the air. It has fins that look like sails to steer. The tentacles that hang down from it have embedded prisms that it uses to focus sunlight and use it as a weapon. The sharkoid is shaped like a fish and swims through the air, supported by multiple hydrogen-containing cells in its body.

Humans Are Cthulhu: Vargr view humans this way especially Zhodani (which are regarded that way by other humans). Humans can build large abstract societies which attract Undying Loyalty from their members, whereas Vargr have trouble giving loyalty to anything but a Magnetic Hero. As a result humans sometimes appear to Vargr the way a Hive Mind appears to humans.

 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_9a072432
comment
Royal Decree: An Imperial Warrant. Issued in important circumstances to a holder who has the power to override precedent according to the framework written out by the Emperor. Archduke Norris used an Imperial Warrant to reorganize the Imperial forces and retake the initiative during the Fifth Frontier War. Since his actions were largely responsible for winning the war, the Emperor approved of his actions retroactively. Norris used a second Warrant during the Rebellion to appoint himself Archduke after he had secretly received news of the Emperor's assassination but before it was known to the public. Since Norris' leadership is all that held the Domain of Deneb together Emperor Strephon (it was actually his double who had been assassinated) also retroactively approved of this appointment. Agent of the Imperium features a protagonist who operates under an Imperial Warrant. This means he is the Emperor's personal representative and always the senior officer on site, and can cut through mounds of red tape to resolve whatever crisis he has been summoned for. This is despite the fact that he is a recorded personality on a memory card placed into an expendable volunteer's chip jack.

Quicksand Sucks: Several Classic adventures and one supplement have this as a possible encounter on alien planets. Adventure 3 Twilight's Peak has quicksand as a possible encounter in wetlands on the planet Fulacin. If PCs get into it they will be trapped and sucked down with no chance to save themselves. In Double Adventure 4 Marooned/Marooned Alone, PCs can encounter dangerous quicksand in the jungles of the planet Pagliacci. If trapped, they'll be sucked under in 4-9 minutes. Supplement 2 Animal Encounters. PCs can randomly encounter quicksand in swamp terrain on two types of planets: small worlds with thin atmospheres and medium sized worlds with standard atmospheres. Journal of the Travellers' Aid Society #2 article "The Bestiary". One possible encounter in chasm floor jungle terrain is quicksand that will pull anyone trapped in it under its surface in a couple of minutes unless they are rescued.

What Measure Is a Non-Human?
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_9c45b5a2
comment
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: The Imperium is generally pretty good at valuing non-human life, but humans are certainly at the top of the social pyramid. The emperors and the majority of the nobility have always been humans. The other major races are not always as forgiving: The K'kree treat anything that eats meat (whether by choice or biological imperative) as totally evil and worthy only of extermination. Aslan respect anyone who has adopted their culture, but treat everyone else as largely-unpredictable barbarians. Non-Aslan land is often seen as free for any Aslan who can conquer it, whether or not it was previously occupied. Hivers like the other races, but they can't help trying to manipulate them for their own good. It's described as an extension of the Hiver parental instinct. The rather monstrous-looking Shriekers were nearly driven extinct by the Imperial black-market for their eggs, called "Denuli Gems". Once the Imperium realized that the unborn offspring of a sentient race were being sold as art objects, they moved to protect the Shriekers by interdicting their planet. There are still collectors out there looking to buy more "Denuli Gems", however. Many of the sentient naturally-evolved computer "Chips" of Cymbeline (featured in the Classic adventure Signal GK) were scooped up and converted in Imperial research labs into the sentient weapon of mass destruction that became Virus. The remainder on the planet were nuked from orbit to prevent anyone else from re-creating Virus. Lucan's Imperial faction, being ruled by a power-mad tyrant bent on destroying his rivals at any cost, did this sort of thing all the time.

Time Travel: Almost averted. Potential for it exists, but few arrangements are made for it in canon. Those who wish to deal with it can cross-reference Gurps: Time Travel and Infinite Worlds. Zhodani are said to have a secret Ancient Artifact that sees the future but little is made of that other than it being the reason they're obsessed with sending exploratory fleets towards the Galactic Core; they have a "map" that not only charts habitable worlds and Ancient sites on a straight line from their homeworld to the Core, but is apparently a vague future record of those exact journeys. This Stable Time Loop enables these otherwise-incredibly-risky journeys to be extremely profitable; in one case, the "map" showed massive space battles, and by sending heavily armed warships on that particular journey, it was an unmitigated success.

World of Technicolor Hair
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_9dbf9610
comment
World of Technicolor Hair: The variant races of humans scattered around space generally have aesthetic differences (and in most cases, non-aesthetic) from those who remained back on Earth. Hair color is sometimes one of them. In particular for this trope, the Pirians have blue or green hair, their follicles concentrating cobalt and copper depending on genetics.

comment
Ascended Fanon: Traveller has, through its multi-decade run, collected a wide variety of officially published interesting places to visit, distributed over a span of space that takes years to cross even with the fastest ships in the setting. Travellermap started as an unofficial compilation of all these places. As of Mongoose Publishing's second edition, specifically the Great Rift books, this is not only canon, but a thing that actually exists in-universe: a "widely distributed" "astronavigational database" written for travellers (read: for Player Characters) by the Travellers' Aid Society. The (less canonical) edges of the map are still being explored, so naturally they are updated over time. All discrepancies are explained: scientific anomalies (especially in areas with no habitable planets) are left off because that is not the target audience for the map, military secrets are not available to the mappers, conflicts with prior published charts are things the mappers are no longer sure were there in the first place, and so on.

First Contact
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_a7caa5b5
comment
First Contact: The Imperial Interstellar Scout Service has done this so many times that it has standard procedures for it. There are also several notable incidents in the backstory: First contact for humans from Earth revealed that most of the galaxy near Earth was already occupied by an ancient Human Alien empire that had simply considered anyone outside their borders insignificant. The news that space was already colonized - by other humans - did not go over well on Earth, and the Interstellar Wars were the result. First contact for the herbivorous K'Kree occurred when they invented telescopes and found that their moon was inhabited by intelligent carnivores. They quickly invented space travel and began a war of extermination, which they've tried to carry on against any meat eaters anywhere in the galaxy they can reach since. The official story of first contact for the Aslan is that it happened when their first few ships encountered human traders not far from their homeworld. In reality, the Aslan were on the verge of a nuclear war when a human spacecraft crashed on their world. The land-obsessed Aslan quickly resolved their differences, reverse-engineered the human's FTL drive, and began their expansion into the galaxy while keeping their pre-spaceflight tribal culture intact. And they kept the whole affair a secret, claiming they had resolved their differences and invented the jump drive all on their own.

Sweet Polly Oliver: Both Aslan and Sword Worlders have elaborate rules for this. On such occasions when a Sword Worlder desires a masculine vocation she is expected to dress and act like a male (in the cultural sense, not the biological presumably) while engaged in it. This is allowed when home obligations do not interfere, notably in a wealthy female who can hire servants. Such females are called "nontraditional" in canon, which is a misnomer as it actually is a tradition, just rarely enacted one. In the case of Aslan females sometimes become this when there are no male heirs; if they do they are obligated to vow celibacy and perform male duties and are addressed as males rather than females. In both of these cases it is a traditional arrangement to allow for a rare circumstance rather than a disguise.

Averted. Religion is still a part of Traveller life and there is room enough for anything the GM and players desire; even their own Real Life religion if it pleases them. The Backstory does not go to much effort designing religions (deliberately so, apparently, to avoid causing tension between the players) for the game but one or two plausible ones are made such as the K'kree beliefs or the Aslan Fteir code of honor or the Shugalii chef-priests (they actually seem more like Jewish rabbis than priests) of the Vilani. Actually the best comparison to Shugalii might be Kosher-butchers.

The War of Earthly Aggression: Played with. Toward the end of the Intersteller Wars, the constitution of the Terran Confederation became obsolete because Planet Terra had conquered and assimilated so many worlds that Planet Terra could no longer be considered the center of the confederation. When no one could solve the problem, a naval coup took place instituting the Second Imperium. The Long Night could be an aversion. There is no mention of a mass rebellion per se; the Second Imperium just disintegrated.

Expert in Underwater Basket Weaving: Because most versions of Traveller use random tables of skills during character generation it's entirely possible for characters to get high levels in skills like "Accounting" while failing to get something more obviously useful in an adventure like "Pilot" or combat skills. Later versions usually have rules that ensure basic competency in more adventure-oriented skills.

Arbitrary Weapon Range: Classic Book 4 Mercenary. Several new weapons could not be used at Close or Short range (from 0 to 5 meters away), such as the various PGMP's and FGMP's. There was no reason given for this.

Experience Points: Traveller is notable in not having these in most versions of the rules. Characters usually earned cash, gear, or other less-tangible rewards like knighthoods rather than directly improving their skills. In Classic Traveller you could improve your skills - by studying and paying for training over several years - not through points.

Retcon
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_b2280b66
comment
Retcon: With so many versions, there have been a few: One of the earliest retcons was the Hiver. The original descriptions of aliens in Traveller said they were a Hive Mind. That was retconned fairly early on to the Hivers as we now know them, and the name "Hiver" was now based on a misconception of the people who first met them and the shape of their buildings. "Jump Message Torpedoes" were mentioned in the original Adventure 4 - Leviathan. These were small, unmanned drones that could carry messages through jump. They don't appear anywhere else, probably because if they worked they would make the manned Xboat mail system redundant. Most later versions of the rules make it clear that you need at least a 100-ton ship to have the room for a jump drive, making "j-torps" impossible. The New Era tried to be harder science, and removed reactionless drive technology from the setting. In this version ships had always used the HEPlaR (High Energy Plasma Recombination) plasma-rocket system instead. Since they now had very limited maneuver fuel this meant drastic changes for how ships maneuvered in combat and how they traveled from jump points to the mainworlds of a system. The retcon failed to stick, and every other version has put reactionless drives back in, although some of them have also kept HEPlaR as an alternative technology.

Klingon Promotion
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_b2c737e8
comment
Klingon Promotion: The little-used "Right of Assassination", established after the disastrous reign of Cleon III allows a high noble to personally slay the emperor and claim the Iridium Throne, with Moot approval. A series of "Barracks Emperors" during the Imperial Civil War all took the throne through either defeating the last emperor in a space battle or through assassination. None but the last, Arbellatra, were able to gather enough support in the Moot to establish a dynasty. Her dynasty ruled for the next four centuries and change. Archduke Dulinor's attempt to take the throne through the Right of Assassination without prior Moot approval led to the Rebellion/Final War of MegaTraveller/The New Era and eventually broke the fanbase. Vargr leadership is based on personal charisma, and any leader that can't prove he or she can hold their position is likely to be replaced by a former subordinate. Killing the former leader is definitely a possibility in more vicious groups.

comment
The Cycle of Empires: The First Imperium had been decaying when the Terran Confederation conquered it and became the Second Imperium, the Second Imperium couldn't handle their new territory and quickly lapsed into The Long Night. 1700 years into the Long Night Cleon Zhunastu turned the Sylean Federation into the Third Imperium, which falls a millennium later after Strephon's assassination. The New Era setting has hints that a Fourth Imperium will eventually be established.

Take That!
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_b53077b3
comment
One of the more interesting aspects of the Maar Zon is the idea that ideas are free. This is said to have come from days when the Vilani Imperium (who once oppressed the Syleans) would use inordinate and draconian intellectual property laws to ensure that technology could not be used outside the will of the ruling class. Under this theory, it was originally a Take That! to the Vilani. As the Maar Zon is dated from before the arrival of the Vilani, actual adherants of the Maar Zon faith think this idea has Unfortunate Implications.

 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_b542cf17
comment
Opposing Combat Philosophies: During the Interstellar Wars (and as seen in the board game Imperium), the Vilani Empire focused on long-ranged but less-accurate missiles as the primary weapons of their ships. Terran ships focused on short-range but more powerful beam lasers. The deliberate exception to this rule were the Terran missile boats, which were cheap and small ships designed to provide missile cover fire while their other ships closed in to beam range.

It Makes Sense in Context: The Vilani prejudice against technical advance was the result of a deliberate decision made long ago. When one realizes that they already had an Empire of thousands of worlds and enough technology to give men the power of Olympians, one can understand. After all, they had plenty of wealth and power, there might actually be some things that Man Was Not Meant To Know and their biggest threat was instability as they had already eliminated all outside threats. This actually worked for awhile. Unfortunately the Vilani ran into folk from an Insignificant Little Blue Planet who saw no need to play by their rules…

One-Federation Limit: Most of the government names are not repeated (within the same time period and leaving aside civil wars where the sides claimed to be the rightful government of the same state), at least on the sufficiently independent-interstellar level... and then Confederation comes up. It may have something to do with the Terran Confederation; the Solomani and Sword Worlds Confederations both claim Solomani/Terran heritage, and the Darriens of the Darrien Confederation may be mostly Darriens but have long intermarried and had contact with Solomani.

Humans Are Warriors
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_c0f87dda
comment
Humans Are Warriors: The Solomani have long had a far greater martial reputation than the other two major human races and the Third Imperium's military traditions are largely Solomani. To the extent that 57th-century Imperial Marines aren't that different in culture and ethos from the 20th-century US Marine Corps and Royal Marines, especially in TNE. The Solomani are really the top predators of the Traveller universe. The Vilani and Zho are less warlike and their collectivism is crippling. Vargr are on the other extreme too chaotic, and Aslan too clannish. Vargr make good pirates but bad soldiers and while Aslan have a lot of individually skilled warriors they are limited in their capacity to systemitize warfare. This is speaking of Solomani military tradition rather than the Solomani as a race. The Solomani and Vilani are by the time of the Third Imperium so interbred that the difference is more of identity rather than race. Neither of these marry Zhodani very often as the Psi thing leaves them out on their own, effectively alien and more alien to other humans than Aslan or Vargr. All that said, non-Terran humans usually are no wusses themselves, even if not at the Terran level; and a number are Proud Warrior Races. In Traveller you really do not want to get on Humaniti's bad side.

A Nazi by Any Other Name: The Solomani Confederation, with its doctrine that humans are better than aliens and Solomani are better than the other humans, is usually portrayed this way. An Author's Saving Throw in the GURPS Traveller supplement Rim of Fire retconned this into ethnic nationalism, not racism. The old portrayal of the Confederation also owed a lot to Red Scare; it was easy to tell when it was written.

Splat
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_c3c1af5d
comment
Splat: Possibly the Ur-Example - Classic Traveller began issuing splatbooks in 1978 with Book 4: Mercenary (detailing mercenaries and ground military careers), following it up with Book 5: High Guard (space navy), Book 6: Scouts, and Book 7: Merchant Prince through the end of the edition. The alien modules could be considered splats as well, since each included character generation rules for their featured race. Splatbooks didn't become popular in other RPGs until a decade later. Most of the editions after Classic Traveller didn't do splatbooks until... GURPS Traveller had well-regarded splats for Mercenaries, Merchants, and Scouts note Star Merc, First In and Far Trader, respectively and the various alien races. They did a splat on Nobles as well. The first edition of Mongoose Traveller produced the most splats of any edition. They did their own versions of Mercenary, Highguard, Scouts, and Merchant Princes and followed those up with Psion, Agent, Scoundrel, Dilettante, and Cosmopolite (careers like "colonist" and "scientist"). They also did their own set of Alien Modules, as well, and there are also a number of supplements with vehicles, ships, more equipment, various sector books, and so on. By contrast Mongoose 2nd Edition has only done three Alien Race splatbooks so far, and they each feature several aliens, rather than giving each race a separate book. They haven't produced any new career books for Imperial human characters in this edition.

Global Currency: The Imperial credit in Classic Traveller. This ended in MegaTraveller after the Empire collapsed. TNE, set after the fall of the Empire, explicitly claims that the Imperial Credit is still the principle currency. The explanation: well, there sure are a lot of 'em lying about. Averted as well as played straight. The Imperium is strong enough to justify having a large influence on currency. But other worlds often mint their own.

Unpredictable Results: What happens when a ship misjumps. It might be outright destroyed, or it might travel a far greater distance than normal to a random system, or it might go to the original destination planet but stay in jump space long enough to have all the crew starve to death before it gets there.

In-Game Banking Services: Because starships cost millions of credits most Travellers take out forty-year mortgages on their ships. While there are multiple career benefits that can apply discounts to the party's first ship it's not uncommon for Travellers to resort to shady jobs in order to afford their 100 kilocred monthly payments.

Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better: Many of the weapons used aren't that much different from ours. It is pointed out that a supersonic lead slug kills you just as dead at tech level 15 as at tech level 7. Space combat is the exception, as conventional projectiles are trivially easy to dodge at the distances and speeds involved.

Settling the Frontier: Settling new colonies is important for all the major races. The Aslan in particular have a thing for expansion due to the males' drive for land ownership. Aslan have a bad reputation for aggressiveness but they will just as often settle on empty or near empty planets, or trade mercenary service to the local government for land.

Nuclear Torch Rocket: The HEPlaRnote "High Energy Plasma Recombination", basically a very efficient Nuclear Torch Rocket that used Nuclear Damper technology to help control the reaction drive from The New Era replaced the reactionless drives used in earlier versions of Traveller. All of the later editions brought back the much more efficient (if less scientifically plausible) reactionless drives as the primary maneuver drive for starships, but also kept the HEPlaR drive as an available alternate technology.

Used Future Players can get a good discount on their starship by taking one that is several decades old. The Darrians in the 1100s still use a few of their high-tech starships left over from before they blew their star up - about three-hundred years old. For that matter, one can still find some grubby old Siigiizuni class (predecessor to the ubiquitous Beowulfs) hanging around some places. These ships were from about the beginning of the Vilani Imperium. The design is around five-thousand years old, but the specs remain on record.

Played with.

Planetville: Zig Zagged. While many planets have only one city of interest to starfarers, often they have a highly developed civilization and complex local politics that has only tangential relation with interstellar goings-on. Except at those times when it's a Planet of Hats. All more or less peacefully coexist, as based upon the needs of the tabletop game. Many systems remain largely unsettled because with jump drive it is often a shorter trip to a neighboring star system than it is to the outer planets of a system, leaving the outer worlds barren (and a good place for adventures). Then too, some planets just have one small settlement on them and are therefore literally a planetville.

The Ancients bred the Droyne into castes to make them better servitors, but left them without the ability to select a caste without direction from their masters. After the Ancients wiped themselves out the Droyne almost went extinct as well, until they developed coyns and began using them in the casting ritual to select the caste of a maturing Droyne. Grandfather only realized that he had made the Droyne a Terminally Dependent Society long after the Last War, and he "fixed" his mistake by giving them the coyns.

Unobtainium: Lanthanum, which really exists and really is rare, but as far as we know doesn't facilitate Faster-Than-Light Travel - its most common use is in making flints for cigarette lighters. It is speculated that the role of lanthanum in the mechanism of jump drive is connected with the fact that it reacts reversibly with hydrogen, which is used as fuel for the drive. There are enough kinds of Unobtainium knocking around in the Traveller universe to warrant a Lampshade Hanging in Mongoose Traveller, where "unobtainium" is listed as a trade good.

Spy Ship: Free Traders can sometimes do this. It's also an open secret that the Imperial Scout Service often gives surplus scout ships to former scouts with the condition that they make periodic reports on anything interesting they discover in their wanderings.

Tidally Locked Planet: Classic Traveller Double Adventure 2 "Across the Bright Face". The planet Dinom is an interesting variation on this. Its north pole points toward its star, so it looks like it's on its side. Its northern continent is always in sunlight (up to 260 degrees Celsius) and its southern continent in darkness (and goes almost as low as absolute zero). Between the north and south continents there's a temperate zone where life can exist.

Job Mindset Inertia: Double Adventure 6 Divine Intervention has the Player Characters infiltrating a giant floating base at night. Two members of the base staff were previously in positions that influence how they handle emergency situations. One was previously in the regular police. If he wakes up and realizes that there's a problem, he will pick up his pistol, leave his cabin and try to arrest any intruders. Another one was once in the Attitude Police (secret police). If he is awakened and notices the PCs' intrusion, he will try to track them down and notify the bridge of their position, trailing them thereafter.

Lost Colony: Given that interstellar civilization is very old and has collapsed almost completely at least twice (depending on the time period of your current game), there are loads of these: The Island subsectors in the great Rift were colonized by STL ships from Earth and were lost for thousands of years before a misjump by an Imperial cruiser brought them jump technology. The Sword Worlds were colonized by refugees from the Second Imperium centuries before they were found again by the Third Imperium early in their colonization of the Spinward Marches sector. Every Droyne world is basically a lost colony from the civilization of the Ancients that destroyed itself 300,000 years ago.

Bizarre Alien Sexes: The Droyne have three sexes: Male, female, and enabler, the enablers being required to give off scent during a mating session. Droyne also are casted in the manner of social insects and each caste has only one sex. Droyne language focuses more on caste then on sex as that is more important in their psychological framework.

Press Start to Game Over
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_e4c91c25
comment
Press Start to Game Over: One of the things Classic Traveller is famous for is that character generation involved making a survival roll at the beginning of each term of service in a career. "Failure to successfully achieve the survival roll results in death; a new character must be generated." This was supposed to be a game balance rule, with careers that provided more benefits being more dangerous. The Scouts had the worst survival roll (7+) because they also automatically got the Pilot skill, had the best chance of gaining the Jack of All Trades skill, and had the best chance of getting a ship at the end of character generation. In later editions, failing the survival roll merely has your character ousted from their career, possibly with an injury; "death by character generation" is now an optional rule, usually referred to as "Iron Man".

 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_e5e6640b
comment
Flanderization: The Aslan. In early depictions, the writers took great pains to emphasize that they were only vaguely leonine in appearance. Unfortunately, the idea of them being lion people was a bit too enduring for its own good, so by the time Mongoose Traveller rolled around, most depictions tended toward the simple "bipedal lion" look. Mongoose seem to be dialing this back as of The Glorious Empire, where most Aslan art depicted them as much less lion-like, though it remains to be seen if it's averting this trope or falling into Depending on the Artist.

We Will Use Manual Labor in the Future: Not slavery, exactly, but the Xboat is a possible example of this. Why do they have a living pilot when they don't even have a maneuver drive and the jump is done mostly by computer? One suggestion never nixed by Marc is that Jump drives need a conscious mind to make them work. There is nothing in the rules of the various editions that says this is necessary however, and it would make some "abandoned ship" plots, like Annic Novanote by Marc Miller, impossible.

Puppet State
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_e866f3b8
comment
Puppet State: Many states are like this in the setting. The Darrians are simply allies that happen to be unequal in strength to the Imperium. The Border Worlds Authority is a group of conquered Sword Worlds that barely pretend that they are not a Puppet State of the more degrading sort (they were a rather clumsy policy whose main justification was to keep Swordies from causing trouble without using Imperial troops. No one was really fooled). The member substates of the Imperium are theoretically all there with their own consent, though a number of them of course require rather rigorous persuasion. Imperial member substates have often been in the Imperium so long that they are pretty much integrated into the system and they are distinct from client states. Some planets are directly ruled by the Imperium. Having Puppet States is central to Imperial ideology. Its constitution gives it power primarily over "The space between the stars", meaning that it provides defense needs and central authority to otherwise autonomous states. In practice it is far more complex.

Neglectful Precursors
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_e8dda3a2
comment
Neglectful Precursors: The Ancients left all sorts of Lost Technology lying around when they bit the dust. Lost Technology is actually Deconstructed in Traveler, as having loads of high-tech weaponry and even a few super-weapons lying around charted space hasn't done anyone any favors; When they visited their moon for the first time, the Zhodani found a genetically-tailored bacteriological weapon was waiting for them left over from the Ancient war (apparently it had been dropped on their moon by mistake). It caused the fall of their civilization and killed two-thirds of them within about 10 years, and completely wiped out their homeworld's Droyne population. The Vilani civilization couldn't get started until the constantly-fighting Ancient juggernaut war machines finally ran down, about 200,000 years after the war ended. Aeons later, they have an instinctual fear of anything unfamiliar, to the point that they refuse to develop any technologies without spending multiple generations testing it. This even applied to ideological developments, resulting in a draconian bureaucracy that would send a North Korean planner into screaming fits - and this refusal to adapt to unforeseeable events enabled Earth to conquer them over the course of a century of repeated wars. The Darrians were given an Eden-like world where the only serious challenge would be overpopulation. To their credit they eventually created a civilization that didn't decline into cannibalistic, genocidal warfare - after hundreds of cycles of rapid overpopulation and warfare that lasted for a hundred thousand years after the Ancients had exterminated themselves in their own genocidal war. The Ancients bred the Droyne into castes to make them better servitors, but left them without the ability to select a caste without direction from their masters. After the Ancients wiped themselves out the Droyne almost went extinct as well, until they developed coyns and began using them in the casting ritual to select the caste of a maturing Droyne. Grandfather only realized that he had made the Droyne a Terminally Dependent Society long after the Last War, and he "fixed" his mistake by giving them the coyns.

Technology Levels: Trope Maker, at least for the medium. TLs may look implausible if taken literally. The Sourcebooks imply that exactly the same technology evolves in planets that sometimes have different conditions and no connection. However, using TLs as a base a clever GM can construct something more believable. MegaTraveller's "World Builder's Handbook" introduced the idea that a world may have different TLs for different areas of science and engineering, and a similar system was adopted by GURPS Traveller's "First In" sourcebook.

Fantastic Caste System
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_edcc813f
comment
Fantastic Caste System: The Imperial Nobility acts as a glue to keep the Imperium together. In effect rather than being an ethnic empire (I.E. the Roman empire, etc), it is a caste-based empire and the nobility is the central cadre. Not only that, a state the size of the Imperium could not possibly find high command by merit alone as everyone would die before getting to high enough position, hence there has to be a caste system. The Zhodani are more grotesque. It is a caste of psionics which means that among the rights of the ruling caste is access into the minds of the commoners. The rulers of course are allowed privacy; after all, one must have limits. As for the aliens, Droyne have several physically different castes and the K'kree divide themselves into servants, merchants, and nobles.

Wagon Train to the Stars: Exploration expeditions are a large part and the Imperial Interstellar Scout Service which is an Imperial government exploration and intelligence organization, does this as one of its main duties.

Shadow Dictator: The rulers of the First Imperium held the title Ishimkarun or "Shadow Emperor". The Ishimkarun never made public appearances, ruling through public proclamation.

Species Loyalty
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_eee89c8f
comment
Species Loyalty: There are several species that have an almost instinctual loyalty to their race: The Vargr, who are uplifted wolves, are unable to maintain a larger interstellar state than any one Vargr can personally control and are always infighting to determine who is the pack leader in any group. However they have a strong racial pride and will set aside their domination struggles immediately when faced with a non-Vargr threat. The K'Kree pride themselves on never fighting each other, only the nasty, evil, meat-eating species. The Droyne are extremely family oriented, and some of the Droyne castes will die without a member of the leader caste to give them direction. Inter-Droyne conflict is nearly unheard of, and their interaction with other races is mostly a desire to be left on their own worlds alone. The Hivers enjoy manipulating each other, but they enjoy manipulating other races even more. They all consider themselves superior to the other species in their part of space, and are eager to help improve them. The Zhodani view the other branches of humaniti as untrustworthy and essentially mentally ill. There are very few Zhodani defectors, but it might have more to do with the fact that the ruling class are telepathic and employ a group called the "thought police" to keep the lower classes what they view as "mentally healthy", rather than authentic species loyalty.

Sailor Earth: All versions have systems to generate new sectors of worlds and design new starships. The game has also designated the Foreven sector, right next door to the popular Spinward Marches sector, as a "GM's Preserve". No official material will ever be published about it beyond the star positions and a few worlds with minor details. GMs are encouraged to make up whatever they want to occupy that space.

War Is Hell
 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_f1d6144a
comment
War Is Hell Several units of Imperial Marines were actually disbanded for atrocities committed during the Imperial civil wars. The beginning of the volume Sword Worlds shows a scene where a Sword Worlder soldier returning to find his house blown to bits, and his wife desperately trying to rebuild it. Then they greet each other and, as the book puts it "Spend the night celebrating being together after all they had been through". Some star systems in the Spinward Marches are choked with wrecks left from hundreds of years of Frontier War after Frontier War. This is a good place for the adventures of teams of Salvage Pirates The Sword Worlds in general pretty much had a broken jaw from the Fifth Frontier War. They lost nearly half of their territory, and some districts were nearly depopulated of young males. But the whole Spinward Marches is still recovering as of Emperor Strephon's time and damage is splattered all about.

comment
Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters: Once or twice there are anomalies in the description of various cultures that are most easily Handwaved by simply saying "Yeah, well that's THEIR version". In the volume Milieu 0 of Marc Miller's Traveller it actually invites this by giving arguments from both sides about the morality of building the Imperium, as if it was a Real Life political controversy. This sort of thing actually manages to help reinforce Willing Suspension of Disbelief. When writing a Backstory Traveller is Just That Good.

comment
Human Aliens: When humans from Earth finally made it to the stars in the late 21st century they found most of space near them occupied by the ancient interstellar empire of humans from a planet called Vland. It took several centuries to determine that all of the human aliens in charted space (some of which had diverged from the human norm enough to look like different species) were actually transplanted from Earth hundreds of thousands of years ago by the Ancients, not separate species.

comment
A Real Man Is a Killer: Aslan think all males have to be interested in little besides fighting or else they're not truly men. It's taken to the extent that they identify a non-Aslan's gender primarily by what occupation they are working in. A female human pilot, for instance, will find herself being referred to as male by Aslan. A male human scientist, on the other hand, would be considered female. Most humans who deal extensively with Aslan will just go along with their assigned "Aslan" gender to avoid confusion and arguments.

Laser Blade: Arc-field weapons as of the Mongoose versions. Conductive fibers that create a plane of energy. Only available on the most high-technology of worlds (and among the most expensive of melee weapons), with enough armor penetration and damage to cut through most starship hulls. Then there are psi blades, though despite being as or more expensive and higher-technology, do much less damage.

Technology Uplift: The Vilani Empire did this with the civilizations of planets it added. This included molding the civilization to fit the Vilani culture. Classic Adventure 2 Research Station Gamma. After the planet Vanejen was re-contacted by the Third Imperium, the Imperial Navy showed uncommon (for them) discretion by giving the planet more scientific knowledge and advanced technology in a gradual manner so it wouldn't cause culture shock. The Hiver Federation is known for manipulating low-tech species to accelerate their development and form cultures friendly to them. Some suspect them of doing the same to humaniti, and in fact after the collapse of the Third Imperium they openly teach some of their tech to the Reformation Coalition.

Spheroid Dropship: The Broadsword class mercenary cruiser.

That said it does come with two modular cutters intended as Drop Ships.

 Traveller (Tabletop Game) / int_fea715c1
comment
Feudal Future: In the setting, FTL communication is only by ships using Jump Drive, which takes a week to reach a destination ranging from one to six parsecs away. With the Imperium being hundreds of parsecs across, it would literally take months or even up to a year or more for information to travel from one end to another, or from the capitol to the fringes. This necessitates a decentralized government, with a large amount of autonomy granted to the local powers. A feudal system is what you would end up with no matter what you chose to call the Imperium's lords. As a side note, the Aslan are a Tribal Future.

This is a game that even researches its Applied Phlebotinum, or at least treats it as if it can be. Alas… it sometimes goes too far. In The New Era, for example, the lengthy calculations required to design a handgun produce virtually the same game statistics for any design.
