I NTRODUCTION

Whether it is the domination of the Third Imperium of Man or a

free sector of space littered with mercenaries, space is as much a

battleground as any contested planetoid or field of war. Thousands

of crewmen embark on lengthy missions aboard massive war ships

which pack enough fire-power to boil a planet.

pack a lot of fire-power for their size; typically less than 5,000 tons.

Also included is an auxiliary starship, a courier vessel produced to

fulfil a specific military role.

Cruisers

This section contains longer-ranged vessels built to carry high-

powered spinal mounted weapons. Ranging between 20,000 and

100,000 tons, these are commonly used as flagships in major task

forces.

This book is a collection of warships found in the Traveller universe,

bringing naval superiority to those who own and operate the largest

and most impressive vessels. Some of these ships will be familiar

to more experienced fans of the setting, some are new renditions of

old designs, and a few are completely new. They were all designed

using the ship design rules found in the Traveller core rulebook and

Traveller Book 2: High Guard , combined with some anti-personnel

weaponry found in Traveller Book 1: Mercenary .

Carriers

This section is dedicated to large vessels that were built to carry

squadrons of smaller ships, bringing non-jump capable craft directly

into battle. Most are built to carry hordes of fighters, although

smaller (and cheaper) carriers exist to fill roles where fewer small

craft will be required.

The ship sections are divided into the following types:

Small Craft

Carried into battle by starships; these fighters are a threat to larger

vessels when they attack en masse. Filling a wide variety of combat

roles they increase the tactical the options available to any admiral.

Battleships

Detailing large ships which are more powerful than entire fleets

of smaller craft, battleships are enormous jump-capable warships

often called ‘dreadnoughts’. They are offensive powerhouses

covered in secondary batteries and arrays, making them almost

impervious to small craft and missile fire.

Small Starships

Most destroyers are too powerful to be privately owned, but not

large enough to go toe-to-toe with better armed ships. Destroyers

A UTOMATED A TTACK C RAFT

A light and fast fighter, the automated attack craft is an armoured flying wing with a set of gun mountings attached to an intelligent

computer. The AAC is capable of being programmed to fulfil any mission required of it. It is a favourite of planetary navies which, for

whatever reason, are unable to produce their own pilots.

C ARRIER S UPPORT F IGHTER

The carrier support fighter is a small and fast ship used in the defence of carriers, and to recover damaged fighters requiring help to return

to the parent ship. Using powerful thrusters and a grapnel arm, the support fighter will grab a damaged fighter and land both craft. Also

used for ejected pilot retrieval, the model-7 swivelling turret sandcaster keeps enemy fighters at bay while the belly-opening airlock scoops

up vacc-suited personnel.
