Starship – 200ton JG Safari Ship (WIP)

Judges guild 200ton safari 234 class by kzm industries.

The Simba Safari is one of the Safari 234 Class built by KZM Industries on Warlock (Ley – 0529). It has numerous special features designed for the Out Hunter. The hull form is a wedge shaped, streamlined, lifting body, easily maneuverable in an atmosphere. The Safari Class is designed for landings in rough terrain with specially strengthened support gear. Capable of 1 G accelleration and Jump 2, this vessel is fitted with fuel scoops and a purification plant for it’s 50 tons of fuel. The bridge is eqipped with control stations for four; pilot, navigator, engineer, and gunner. The computer installed is a Model/1 bis with standard software package. A double turret is installed on the single hardpoint, mounting a SandCaster and a Beam Laser. Auxiliary vehicles comprise an internally stowed 4-ton air/raft and a dorsally mounted 20ton Launch/Lifeboat. Two tons are reserwed for cargo, with special cages fitted to hold 10 and 13 tons respectively. Interior fittings are of high quality, and the living quarters are especially luxurious.

The first ship of it’s Class carries the name „Starflame Safari“, others carry the name of memorable adventures/ safaris/ journeys: e.g. Rubesa Patrol, Nebula Rover, Dawn Trek, Rimward Run, Wilderness Wanderer, or like this vessel Simba Safari.

My self declared mission is to model all the iconic CT starships. Of course I want to portray a few that haven’t been covered by other artists in much detail before, such as this little beauty. The Safari 234 Class 200dt Judges Guild Safari Ship was featured in the supplement Simba Safari published by Judges Guild and now re-published in PDF form by GDW aka Far Future Enterprises on DriveThruRPG.com.

 The image shows the ship with extracted wings and closed pop.up turret.

Starship – 2000ton Type-TI Frontier Transport

General information.

Using a 2000-ton, TL15 hull, the Type-TI_v0-5 Class Transport mounts jump drive-V, maneuver drive-V, and power plant-V, giving a performance of jump-2 and 2G acceleration. Fuel tankage supports a 2 parsec jump, at 200t per parsec, and 2 months of operations. Attached to the bridge are two Computer Model/5 std. There are 12 staterooms and 5 low berths. Installed weaponry include 3 T3 Missiles, 3 T3 Fusion Guns, and 4 T3 Sandcasters. The ship does not have cargo space. The ship has a streamlined hull, with scoops and intakes for frontier refueling.

Carried craft include 1 Cargo Shuttle, 1 Air/Raft Enclosed, and 1 Grapple Set Triple. The ship has 20 crew (3 bridge crew, 2 engineers, 12 gunners, 2 auxiliary flight crew, and 1 medic) but can be technically operated by 6 crew, and can carry 5 low passengers.

This craft is an adaption for the TI that I think is feasible IMTU, given the fact tha this is a company owned transport. The original ship had 12 Staterooms with double occupancy for all but command crew and a total crew of 20 (1 Bridge, 2 Engineer, 10 Gunnery, 2 Flight, 2 Troops, 2 Command, 1 Medic). It aso featured a nuclear damper and EM hardening. I will likely put some more work into the craft.

The MT version had triple Model/9 computers which woud add about MCr 250 to the standard design. Way too much. I believe I can live with two Model/5 bis computers but it wouldn’t be the same design. The MT Type-TI in TRaveller 5 would cost nearly as much as the Type-TJ.

Starship – 300ton Star Class Armored Merchant

300dt armored merchant.

Using a 300-ton, TL12 hull, the Star v0.4 Class Armored Merchant mounts jump drive-E, maneuver drive-B, and power plant-E, giving a performance of jump-3 and 1G acceleration. Fuel tankage supports a 3 parsec jump, at 30t per parsec, and one month of operations. Attached to the bridge is a Computer Model/2bis std. There are 13 staterooms and 10 low berths. Installed weaponry include 1 T3 Missile, and 2 T3 Beam Lasers. Cargo capacity is 46 tons. The ship has a streamlined hull, with scoops for frontier refueling. The ship carries 1 Air/Raft Enclosed. The ship has 6 crew, and can carry 8 passengers and 10 low passengers.

Rhaan Interstellar Corp – 300dt Star Class Armored Merchant „Solar Flare“

I already modeled the ship some time ago and I think it came out very nicely. The one thing I am sure William H. Keith, Jr. would have done differently is the windows (there are Bill Kieth styled windows in a lot of Traveller starship images. If you’re interested I made a ship with two variants, one of which depicts this style.

My friend Bill Connors asked me if he could play with the model and I think he did a great job. So good that it put this ship off my priority list of starships „to texture“. See:

Starship – 1000ton Tukera Long Liner

100odt tukera long liner.

Using a 1000-ton streamlined hull, the Tukera Long Liner is a main-route passenger transport serving much of the Imperium. It mounts a  jump drive V,  maneuver drive E, and power plant V to supply power for one month of continuous operation, giving performance of Jump-4 and 1G acceleration. Fuel tankage supports a month of operations and one jump-4. On the bridge is a Model/4 computer. There are 50 staterooms and 5 emergency low berths. The ship has five hardpoints. Only one triple turret is usually installed; it carries a heterogeneous mix of one beam laser, one missile rack, and one sandcaster. The ship carries one vehicle: a 20-ton launch, grappled to the hull. Cargo capacity for the long-liner is 130 tons.

Scan from The Traveller Adventure, (c) FFE

The Long Liner requires a crew of 13: captain/pilot, astrogator, 6 engineers, medic, 3 stewards, and gunner. The pilot or astrogator operates the launch. The ship can carry up to 36 passengers.

Starships – Type CM (Mercenary Cruiser) – HS33 Yamal

My attempt to convert a RiftRoamers RPG (RR) original starship to Traveller. The craft was downsized as ships in RR tend to be larger in general. The appropriate size would have been 1200 tons in RR. However that would have been just another Kinunir which was not my intention.

The ship is designed following Traveller5 rules by using the Traveller5 ACS Shipyard (an online ship-design software for T5 by Robert Eaglestone)

Mercenary Cruiser CM-HS33 Yamal MCr353.9 [General Shipyards] Owner: Rhaan Industries Disposition: In Service

The 800 ton Streamlined Yamal Class Merc Cruiser is a variant of the Broadsword built as an alternative to the Broadsword Merc Cruiser. It’s outer appearance loosely copies the lines of patrol corvette, while being larger of course.

Design requirements: 1 Modular Cutter  (in an external cradle mount accessible through the cargo bay), 2 additional Cutter modules  (in an external cradle mount accessible through the cargo bay), 2 20dt Gigs (in an external cradle mount accessible by special connection tubes), 2 Grav carriers (Lopec or Resolve carried aboard cutter modules, these craft show as overtonnage in the design).

Blocking out the major features in Blender

The design now features Maneuver 3, Jump 3, 3 Month of Powerplant operation and offers 95 tons of cargo space in addition to all the vehicles.

The Image below show the vessels’s Cutter and one of the thre special Container Modules.

Starship – 400dton Donosev Class ISV (WIP)

The survey scout is a typical ship in service with the Imperial Interstellar Scout Service. Its function is to continually re-survey the interior regions of the Imperium, updating maps and charts, and maintaining beacons and markers for astrogation hazards.  The ship essentially serves much the same role as a modern day coast guard seagoing buoy tender, offshore supply vessel or ice breaker (or any combination thereof).

The ship is catagorised as Type SZ, or “Scout Experimental”, and in fact three different versions of this ship have been built.

The most recent, was the result of improvements to sensor placement made during the Second Survey and was producved in two variants. The Donosev Class Interstellar Survey Vessel was named after Master Chief Surveyor Villemina Donosev. Individual ships are named for famous scouts in the Imperial service.

As is the case with most modern Scout vessels, the Donosev-class is not equipped for use in hostile areas. The survey scout is a peaceful vessel, typically unarmed and inoffensive. It does, however, mount four hardpoints and can be armed with a variety of turrets and weaponry if necessary. The Donosev class survey scout is named for famous scouts in the Imperial service.

The Donosev ISV2 with three Air/Raft Hangarbays and the Modular Cutter undocked

This is probably the one ship that is truly asymmetrical in shape among the Traveller starships and possibly because of this it was not very highly regarded amongs players I used to play Traveller with. However, I liked the old Donno because it is the perfect base ship for a medium crew.

I plan to model two variants. One variant I call the ISV2 with three Hurricane Air/Rafts and the one variant I call ISV1 with a Kankurur Grav Carrier in a single larger Hangarbay in place of the Air/Rafts. Both vehicles are depicted in DGP’s 101 Vehicles, so I’ll go from there. No idea how to fit that Kankurur into the hull though.

Please note that the designations ISV1 and ISV2 that I use in this text are non-canon and used only to differentiate the two models. Both are Donosev Class vessels.

The Donosev ISV1 with a large Hangar for the Kankurur Grav Carrier and the Modular Cutter undocked

I remeber to have read somewhere (DGP’s Grand Survey?) that the Hangar Bay of roughly a quarter of the Donosevs in service is about 2m higher and 1.5m wider but the remainder of vessel otherwise unchanged. That’s not easy to implement without outer changes on the craft, as you can’t simply go up or inward as there are are likely staterooms, corridors and laboratory spaces (as well as the brigde above the bay.

Perhaps a bulge beneath the vehicle bay to allow for the extra height and width. The render above shows my approach with the bulge beneath the command section which was widened by pushing the outer wall another 1,5m into space.

The resulting ship will be 135kl or aproximately 10dt larger in tonnage, which is or could be a problem. 410dt is well within the often cited 5% tollerance, which on the other hand was only meant to account for deckplan variance.

Just from a modeling point of view one could assume the ISV1 being at about 405dt and the ISV2 at 395dt which would account for the ten tons difference and reduce the error to plus/minus 1.25% as compared to the calculated volume of 400dt. At least I am well prepared to accept that, until I have my copy of Traveller5 which I plan to use for calculating all my Traveller ships.

The Subcraft and Vehicles

The Tech level 15 Kankurur class Scout survey Grav Carrier was commissioned in 1097 – following a design dating back to 1095 – and is equipped to support both survey and exploration missions with full crews. .  The Kankurur is a large pradtory bird native to Vland that was often trained as a courier animal capable of carrying up to 20kg of cargo in its talons. Consequently named vehicles often carry the names of significant native animals of the worlds of the Imperium.

The vehicles’ sealed environment allows forl full pressurized life support for its crew. An airlock in the aft section opens to the roof as well as aft. A galley, four fold-up bunks, and a fresher allow extended missions. On the bridge, the basic controls are computer enhanced to increase the efficency and safety of operation. EMS active and passive sensors, a neutrino sensor, and a densitometer give a full range of information to the surveyers on board. A Meson communicator allows near-instant contact with any other station within planetary range.

In addition to the crew (pilot and five operators or passengers) the grav carrier can carry 0.5 ton of cargo in the main cabin and 1.5 ton in the airlock. Unloaded, the craft weighs about 60 tons; with crew and maximum cargo it weighs about 95 tons. Top speed is at 240kph, cruise at 180kph and NOE at 190kph. The vehicle costs about 10.650.000 Cr amf displaces 11 tons. Length 15.25m, width: 8.30m, height:  7.50m.

Freelance Traveller

The Electronic Fan-Supported Traveller ® Resource

Almost anyone that travels between worlds dreams of owning their own transportation. A lucky few (in comparison) can afford to do so. Shipyards are where those few make their dreams into reality.

The Freelance Traveller shipyard is where you can find descriptions and specifications (and eventually deck plans and interior pictures, we hope) for starships and spaceships for all sorts of missions.

Traveller Starship Miniatures's Cover

Traveller Starship Miniatures

The star of this campaign is our brand new official Traveller Starship Miniatures. The initial release includes a total of 14 starships, seven each in two different scales. The ships, which featured most prominently in the Traveller5 Role-Playing Game are based on the works of Ian Stead and have been beautifully rendered in 3D printable form.

We have designed the starship miniatures to use two scales.

The first, 1:270 scale, was popularised by the X-Wing tabletop dogfighting game, and these versions of the ships are scaled to each other. They make for great display pieces, and while large on the table, are not so large as to be impractical.

The second scale is Tactical scale, which scales the ships down to fit on a 1 inch hex base stand. The miniatures are not in scale to each other, but these are of a practical size to be played on a one-inch hex map for tactical combat.

 The core ships feature a variety of popular classic Traveller designs, all originally visualised by Ian Stead, aside from our own Murphy-class Type S Scout/Courier (both versions of the Type S have been provided for collectors). From merchant vessels to system patrol boats and mercenary cruisers, they range in size from 100 to 800 tons (as per the Traveller rules).

Join the Crew: A Guide to Playing Mongoose Traveller

how to play mongoose traveller

Want to learn how to play the Mongoose Traveller RPG ? Embark on a sci-fi journey through the stars with our guide on how to play Mongoose Traveller RPG.

Welcome Aboard- Adventure Awaits!

Welcome to Mongoose Traveller ; a science fiction role-playing game where you explore the galaxy, meet new alien species, and create spacefaring adventures of your own. Newcomers to the game can find it a bit overwhelming to get started. But don't worry, this guide will give you a general overview of everything you need to know to play Traveller like a pro. 

If you are interested in trying Traveller but don't want to spend a lot on the  Traveller Rule Book you can get a copy of the Traveller Explorer's Edition (a Traveller PDF) for just $1.

  • Character Creation

Let’s begin with Traveller character creation.  Traveller has a unique character creation system that generates an entire character history and backstory.  Players can start with an 18-year-old character with very few skills, or they can opt to push their luck through multiple terms in various careers and come up with an older character with more skills and experience.

Players use their characters as virtual avatars, with a set of skills, characteristics, and equipment to help them through upcoming adventures.

Characteristics

Players begin character creation by rolling two normal six-sided dice and adding them together for each of the six Characteristics (notated as 2d6).  This results in values from 2-12 with 7 being the average.  The higher the number, the better the character is concerning the associated characteristic.  Values can be driven above 12 through character creation and above 15 through the use of augmentation, such as cybernetic, mechanical, or chemical means.

The Characteristics are Strength, Dexterity, Endurance, Intellect, Education, and Social Standing.  These attributes determine how well a character can perform certain tasks or skills.  For example, a character with a high Strength characteristic would be better at tasks that involve strength like lifting heavy objects or forcing open a door, while a character with a high Intellect characteristic would be better at solving puzzles or coming up with original ideas.

After rolling 2d6 six times, you assign each roll to one of the characteristics in any order.  This defines how your character will start the game.  Characteristics can go up or down during character generation, so you may not end up with a character exactly like the one you started with. 

Character Concept

Coming up with a basic character concept at this point might help with some character creation decisions going forward.  You might consider the following:

  • Where was your character born?
  • What is their homeworld like?
  • Do they come from a rich planet or a poor planet?
  • Do they come from a high-tech world or a low-tech world?
  • What was their family life like?
  • What is their motivation to leave their home and seek adventure among the stars?

Jot these ideas down and use them as a guide to making decisions as you go through the character creation process.  Don't be afraid to edit these notes if you come up with better ideas as you go through the character creation process.

Background Skills

Next, players choose their background skills.  These are a few skills with a low level that the character might have acquired through school, a job as a teenager, or just from living life in general on their homeworld.  Once players have settled on background skills for their character, it’s time to seek a career.

At this point, you can stop character creation and opt to begin adventuring as a young adult with just their background skills.  Most players choose to spend at least one 4-year term doing some kind of career to start with a bigger selection of starting skills.

If a player wants to seek a career, there are many to choose from.  The rules contain twelve major careers, such as merchant, soldier, and scientist, each with three sub-career variations to choose from.

Once the career is chosen, players roll on various tables to gain new skills or increase existing ones.  Characters also experience Life Events, which are major turning points in their career.  Perhaps they were tempted to cheat on an important test while attending university, or maybe they were offered a bribe while working as a law enforcement officer.  Depending on how players choose to interact with these life events, and the luck of the dice, characters will gain a rich life history along the way.  Sometimes the results of Life Events are good, sometimes bad.

Players continue to serve 4-year terms in their chosen careers, or they can choose to change careers along the way.  Be careful, though; each term ages your character by 4 years.  Once you get past a certain age, you risk injury by continuing in dangerous careers.  The player must choose how many years they want their characters to have under their belt when they start playing.  Are they an old doctor or pilot with a lot of experience and an old shoulder injury and a pension?  Maybe they are just out of university and looking to test themselves.  Maybe they were drafted into the military but were discharged at 32 after receiving a major injury in the line of duty.

Connections

In Mongoose Traveller, players can form a connection between their characters and other players’ characters during character creation.  This can be a cool way to form bonds between characters and avoids starting the game with the “you all meet in a space tavern” situation.

Weapons, Armor, And Equipment

Finally, players choose equipment for their characters.  Some equipment and starting cash will be granted according to benefits you may have received during your character’s career.  The Traveller Rule Book has a decent selection of starting gear, or you can choose items out of supplements, like the Central Supply Catalog .  Weapons, armor, survival gear, and other equipment available should be appropriate to the game setting.  Characters can start with weapons, armor, or even a ship without having to spend much money.

Playing Traveller

Now that you are done with character creation, it’s time to start playing.  The game is run by a Game Master (GM), known in Traveller as the “Referee”.  This player is the host of the adventure and is responsible for creating a story, controlling all the non-player characters, and adjudicating the rules.  The Referee will present players with a certain situation and the players will use their character’s skills, characteristics, and backstory to help accomplish the various missions and adventures they encounter along the way.

Traveller is a type of collective storytelling game, where each of the players contributes to the ongoing story.  During the game, players roll dice and consult their lists of skills and characteristics to help determine the result of tasks with unsure outcomes.  For instance, players would not need to roll dice for things anybody could easily do, but they should roll dice when the results of their actions are unsure or could have story-changing results.

During the game, combat might come up.  Combat is resolved the same way other skill checks are; with characters attacking and defending using different types of weapons, armor, and environmental cover.  Weapon damage is reduced by the armor value of the target and any spillover damage is applied to reducing the target’s health characteristics (Strength, Dexterity, and Endurance).  When a character has two characteristics reduced to 0 they are considered unconscious and must skip their turn.  When a character has three characteristics reduced to 0 they are considered dead or dying and must receive immediate medical attention or die.

Starships in Traveller

One cool thing about Traveller is the use of starships to get from one planet or planetary system to another.  Players can purchase a ship or even acquire one during character creation.  Perhaps they can even salvage a derelict ship for free. 

Each ship has its own set of attributes, such as how fast it can go, how far it can jump, its cargo capacity, armaments, and defenses.  The  Traveller Rule Book has many example ships to choose from, or you can check out the High Guard book which details many new ships and includes instructions for building your own.

So where do you go on your ship?  Well, Traveller supplies many random tables, most using the d66 format which is a dice-rolling technique that gives you 36 possibilities from two regular 2-sided dice.  There are many random tables for a Referee to choose from which makes creating adventures on the fly much easier to do.

What You Need To Play

To play the Traveller RPG, you will need a few things.  Pencil, paper, the Traveller Rule Book , and two 6-sided dice at a minimum.  You will also need a group of players, one of which should be willing to be the Referee.  There are optional solo rules out there, but you will normally need at least 2 players; one to be the Referee and the other to be the character in the story.  Usually, 4-6 players are the ideal size.  It helps if all the players are fans of science fiction!

What if you need some help finding players or interpreting rules or situations in your game?  No need to worry – Traveller has been around since the late 70s and has a huge community and support system.  There are many other players and Referees out there who are excited to share their own experiences and help you to become a better Traveller player.  You can join forums, Facebook groups, Reddit groups, and Discord servers to connect with other Traveller players and enthusiasts. 

If you can’t find anybody locally to play with, you can even play by remote with a virtual tabletop (VTT) on your computer.  For more information check this article on How to Play Traveller Online .
