Are unnamed for a reason. The game is not CT Third Imperium Sector Spanning in scope. Think about the "feel" of MT - Hard Times with Settled, Frontier and Wilderness. Think about TNE with Pocket Empires. [Now forget about Assassinations, Civil Wars and Virus.]
The focus is the NAMED SYSTEMS and the WORLDS within those systems and the MOONS around those worlds. It is as much IN-SYSTEM travel/adventure as Jumping BETWEEN systems. So both the EMPIRE and SHOGUNATE are "out there" with lots of "frontier/wilderness" in between. Those systems are unnamed because most people know almost NOTHING about them. It is an independent world that speaks another language and is called one thing by the inhabitants, another thing by the BLUE CLUSTER and something else by the SHOGUNATE. That is what makes TRADE difficult, exciting and potentially profitable.

Map of BEAU
- Map-BEAU (11x17).jpg (296 KiB) Viewed 325 times
small world, 8000 km diameter, 0.45 G surface gravity ... [Mars size]
Atmosphere [4]:
BEAU has a Thin, tainted atmosphere. Thin atmosphere is 0.5 to 0.7 earth Normal, like "high altitude" on earth [living in Denver or the pressure inside an airplane]. The "taint" is a high level of ozone [O3] at surface elevations.
Ozone has a pungent odor and exposure has the following effects:
[seconds] irritate the nose and throat.
[minutes] cause headache, upset stomach, vomiting, and pain or tightness in the chest.
[hours] irritate the lungs causing coughing and shortness of breath.
[days] cause a build-up of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema), a medical emergency, with severe shortness of breath.
[weeks] cause permanent lung damage.
A simple Carbon Filter Mask will remove the ozone.

Basic Rules for tasks - Rule 68A
RULE 68A:
The target number to accomplish an EASY task is 6+ on 2d6.
The target number to accomplish an AVERAGE task is 8+ on 2d6.
The target number to accomplish an HARD task is 10+ on 2d6. [hexadecimal notation for 10 is 'A']
To use any SKILL [Admin, Streetwise, etc.] roll 2d6+skill for the target number or higher to succeed
Any ABILITY [STR, DEX, etc.] of 10+ may add an additional +1 bonus to an appropriate skill check.
ABILITIES as Skills:
When attempting an action not covered by a skill, like "swimming", roll for Rule 68A using the related ability (like DEX) to determine the modifier. The modifiers for ABILITY rolls are as follows:
Ability 0-2 = -1
Ability 3-5 = 0
Ability 6-8 = +1
Ability 9-11 = +2
Ability 12+ = +3
Here are your chances of success for a 2d6 roll:
2d6, roll 2+ = 100%
2d6, roll 3+ = 97%
2d6, roll 4+ = 92%
2d6, roll 5+ = 83%
2d6, roll 6+ = 72%
2d6, roll 7+ = 58%
2d6, roll 8+ = 42%
2d6, roll 9+ = 28%
2d6, roll 10+ = 17%
2d6, roll 11+ = 8%
2d6, roll 12+ = 3%
RULE: RECOIL
An alternative to the “minimum/bonus” DEX system is to calculate a single “PERSONAL RECOIL” number that represents the physical characteristics of an individual that allows them to control recoil [Free Recoil Energy] and comfortably control a specific firearm. The concept is that the issues that go into “comfort” and “perceived recoil” are too intangible for any single ability, so a combined ability score reflects a broad range of things from “hand size” to “recoil sensitivity” without getting specific.
PERSONAL RECOIL: The PERSONAL RECOIL of a character is calculated from:
(STR + DEX + END) / 3
A character perceives a weapon with a recoil within a range of +1 to -1 of their calculated PERSONAL RECOIL as “normal recoil” and the character may use the weapon with no bonuses or penalty. Any recoil below the normal recoil range is perceived as “low recoil” to that character and any weapon above the normal recoil range is perceived as “high recoil” to that character. As an example, a character with 698777 would have a Personal Recoil of (6+9+8)/3 = 7.7, making the “normal recoil” range 6.7 to 8.7 with weapons of 6.6 and below being “low recoil” and weapons of 8.8 and above being “high recoil” to that character.
LOW RECOIL WEAPONS: Using a weapon that the Character perceives as Low Recoil permits the character to quickly reacquire the target. The character may use this benefit to either:
1) take a second shot in the same combat round at -1 to hit.
2) aim, granting a +2 bonus to the shot in the next combat round.
HIGH RECOIL WEAPONS: Using a weapon that the Character perceives as High Recoil requires the character to spend more time after the shot to reacquire the target, inflicting a penalty of either:
1) snap (non-aimed) shot, granting a -2 penalty to the shot in the next combat round.
2) aim and shoot every other combat round.
WEAPON RECOIL: The RECOIL of any specific firearm is calculated from:
2.33 x LN (((GR x MPS)+GR)^2 / (KG x 770000))*
GR = Weight of bullet in grams.
MPS = Muzzle velocity of weapon in meters per second.
KG = Weight of weapon in kilograms.
*Note: Sorry, but the equation for Free Recoil Energy and the fitted curve to a 2D6 ability score can only be simplified so far, and requires a Natural Log to fit the curve to the data points.
The target number to accomplish an EASY task is 6+ on 2d6.
The target number to accomplish an AVERAGE task is 8+ on 2d6.
The target number to accomplish an HARD task is 10+ on 2d6. [hexadecimal notation for 10 is 'A']
To use any SKILL [Admin, Streetwise, etc.] roll 2d6+skill for the target number or higher to succeed
Any ABILITY [STR, DEX, etc.] of 10+ may add an additional +1 bonus to an appropriate skill check.

On Skills
SKILLS:
A skill (like Medical-1) indicates that you spent 2 years of your life engaged in that task in full-time employment. That makes a skill-1 closer to a mini "prestige class" in D&D terms, since you are assumed to know EVERYTHING that comes with 2 years of life experience as a Medic.
Shouldn't need a roll = skill-0 (change oil)
Mechanic-0 and Medic-0 are people with minimal training, general familiarity and they perform routine tasks. So the ability to perform basic First Aid or change the oil in your car would be typical tasks for a skill-0 character. The tools needed to perform the common skill-0 tasks can be found in a draw at home or carried in your pocket.
Easy = skill-1 (brake job)
Mechanic-1 and Medic-1 are people with enough training to work a job that actually uses that skill. So a paramedic/emergency first responder or a mechanic in a tire store that does simple brake jobs and swaps out parts would be typical tasks for a skill-1 character. The tools needed to perform the common skill-1 tasks are more numerous and specialized than the average person owns, but the essentials can still be carried around in a backpack sized tool box.
Average = skill-2 (replace piston)
Mechanic-2 and Medic-2 are people with years of specialized training and experience in a skill. Remember that 4 years in College or the Army will earn you 2 skill levels, so skill-2 is a Bachelors Degree or 4 years on-the-job-training. A Nurse Practitioner or Certified Mechanic would be typical jobs and treating trauma in an ER or rebuilding an engine would be typical tasks for a skill-2 character. The tools needed to perform the common skill-2 tasks are more than can be easily transported, but the minimum tools required to "get by" are still portable (if bulky). This is where an Ambulance or a Work Truck will help carry everything you need to work (except an empty room to set up in).
Hard = skill-3 (rebuild engine for racing)
Medic-3 is a Licensed Doctor, so Mechanic-3 is a similar level of skill (12 years of college/experience). The tasks common for a Mechanic-3/Medic-3 that would not be handled by a Medic-2 require rooms dedicated to the work. You really need an Exam Room with an x-rax and Lab, or a complete Metalworking Shop if you are going to be treating a gunshot wound to the shoulder or building a Telescope by hand.
Nearly Impossible (roll 12 on 2D6) = skill-4 (build prototype engine)
TASKS AND EQUIPMENT:
A Medic-3 will get his +3 skill when attempting tasks that require Medic-2 to accomplish if he has Medic-2 tools.
If a Medic-3 wants to perform surgery, he will really need more than a good first aid kit for the best chances (surgery requires a Medic-3 Treatment Room).
I typically use -2 for each step the equipment is below the task.
A surgery by a Medic-3 Doctor:
... in a fully equipped Treatment Room (med-3 facility) = 8+ on 2D6 +3 -0
... in an ambulance (med-2 facility) = 8+ on 2D6 +3 -2
... with a first aid kit (med-1) = 8+ on 2D6 +3 -4
... in a barn with a pocketknife and a bucket of water (med-0) = 8+ on 2D6 +3 -6

STUFF (Equipment)
QUALITY
Most STUFF is just "Standard Grade" quality and THAT is the equipment price reflected in the Traveller Rule Books. However, other quality exists and will often communicate something about the STATUS of the owner (or their desired status).
A quick guideline:
FIELD GRADE (Base Price x 1/2): no frills serviceable; simple and functional. Commonly owned by members of the Lower Class (Soc 3-5).
STANDARD GRADE (Base Price): commonly owned by members of the Middle Class (Soc 6-8).
PREMIUM GRADE (Base Price x 3): quality material and finish with expensive accents. Commonly owned by members of the Upper Class (Soc 9-11).
DELUXE GRADE (Base Price x SOC): high grade materials with engraving and exotic finishes. Commonly owned by members of the Social Elite (Soc 12+).
ROYAL GRADE (Base Price x SOC x 2): unique custom item made by the finest craftsmen to the highest standards using the best materials available. Commonly presented as 'gifts of state' [SOC 13 to 15 ONLY]
CLOTHES:

Most STUFF is just "Standard Grade" quality and THAT is the equipment price reflected in the Traveller Rule Books. However, other quality exists and will often communicate something about the STATUS of the owner (or their desired status).
A quick guideline:
FIELD GRADE (Base Price x 1/2): no frills serviceable; simple and functional. Commonly owned by members of the Lower Class (Soc 3-5).
STANDARD GRADE (Base Price): commonly owned by members of the Middle Class (Soc 6-8).
PREMIUM GRADE (Base Price x 3): quality material and finish with expensive accents. Commonly owned by members of the Upper Class (Soc 9-11).
DELUXE GRADE (Base Price x SOC): high grade materials with engraving and exotic finishes. Commonly owned by members of the Social Elite (Soc 12+).
ROYAL GRADE (Base Price x SOC x 2): unique custom item made by the finest craftsmen to the highest standards using the best materials available. Commonly presented as 'gifts of state' [SOC 13 to 15 ONLY]

SHOTGUNS
A long-barreled smoothbore firearm designed to shoot a straight-walled cartridge containing either multiple spherical projectiles (shot) or a single solid projectile (a slug). Shotguns are optimized to provide damage at the expense of range.
"People with real-world experience agree that a break-open, single-shot, shotgun is the least expensive, most handy and versatile firearm that anyone can own. A farmer doesn’t want a heavy duck gun or tactical shotgun. On foot, you only take what you need for the day and to get you back home … a low cost, safe, rugged, durable, easy to carry, fast handling and versatile weapon that is a meat getter, predator eliminator and home defense gun. The break-open shotgun always works and is simplicity itself. With only minimal care, it keeps working despite monsoon rain, desert sand, snow, ice, mud, dust or saltwater exposure and comes apart to fit in your backpack.”

“The howdah is a large-caliber handgun originally developed for defense against dangerous animals after firing two shots from a double shotgun, when a wounded predator might turn on its attacker and the hunter becomes the hunted! Howdah were often carried in calibers to match the longarm to simplify ammunition, and the earliest versions were just cut-down longarms. The advantage of the break-open pistol over a revolver or automatic was its ability to chamber very large diameter cartridges (a significant advantage when employing HE rounds).”

Psionics
PSIONICS:
It looks like we will be enjoying PSIONICS in this game ... so I needed to post a few PUBLIC rules to let y'all know how this will work.
It looks like we will be enjoying PSIONICS in this game ... so I needed to post a few PUBLIC rules to let y'all know how this will work.
- EVERYTHING about the mechanics will remain "behind the curtain" and be handled by the REF. Psionics are mysterious and little understood.
- Every Psion is UNIQUE ... your strength and ability is as unique as a fingerprint.
- There are PSIONIC INSTITUTES where people can get training ... they do not advertise in the yellow pages. Generally ... search where you have BILLIONS of people or more.
- There are INDIVIDUALS that can teach you ... finding one is a HARD (10+) task.
- If you are in mortal danger, the STRESS has a chance (roll 12 on 2D6) to "awaken" a latent talent.
- Psionics are hard to control.
- Psionics are not "illegal", however ... even in the 23rd century, if you go around reading peoples thoughts, a panicked mob may burn you as a witch [and be arrested afterward]. You have seen the "mutant" movies/books.

Arctic Hamlet X-2 ('Achimasahitunanuch')
"This is a story about rats. When humans first set out for the stars, rats accompanied them as stowaways to virtually every world capable of supporting life. Rodents have a fast reproductive cycle, the adaptability of being an omnivore and a natural ability to adapt to new environments. As a result, within a few generations (less than a decade) rats had fully adapted to each new homeworld ecosystem and within a few Human generations (less than a century) natural selection had yielded new species unrecognizable as rats.
Humans share many traits with rats. The residents of 'Achimasahitunanuch' [what the local population calls Arctic Hamlet X-2 in their native language] arrived on this world about the same time as the earliest settlers in the Temperate and Tropical region, however, while Brulantfort and Ville d’Espoir maintained contact with each other and off-world civilizations, the people of the Arctic lived and died and raised families isolated from outside contact for almost a millennium. During that time, natural selection bred a people better adapted to the harsh Arctic conditions with shorter and more muscular bodies able to shrug off injuries that would break the bones of a lesser man [STR, DEX, END = best 2 of 3D6; INT, EDU, SOC = worst 2 of 3D6]. Isolation also resulted in a unique language and social structure/customs distinct from the rest of the planet (and Interstellar Community) and better adapted to collective survival in harsh conditions.
Contact was reestablished with the World Government about 150 years ago and 'THE PEOPLE' have embraced the new language and technology, doing what they have always done … simply incorporating what seems good about the new into the old ways and allowing natural selection to prove what benefits the community."
