Traveller Book 5: High Guard

Classic Traveller Books #5

by Marc W. Miller

Book 5- HighGuard. High Guard applies the Mercenary expanded character generation concepts to the interstellar navy, plus an expanded ship design and ship combat system.

For Classic Traveller, the term Books has a special meaning: Books present additional rules on specific subjects, expanding on Traveller's basic concepts. Books run 48 to 56 pages and may be used independently or together, but all require the basic rules sets.

The first three Books 1-2-3 were part of Basic Traveller; the other books were expansions on specific subjects: the Navy, the Military, the Scouts, the Merchants, and Robots.

So you need help in the next mission, where to get it? I know let's hire some mercs to help with the grunt work. Great reference work for Any SiFi RPG. Recommended
