# Traveller Genesys
Traveller is a science fiction roleplaying game of the far future. Humanity has gone to the stars and found them crowded with other forms of life and other sentient races, and science and technology have advanced vastly over the present day – but the essential nature of humanity is unchanged. Life continues as it does today, only spread out over the sea of stars. A mighty Imperium unites thousands of star systems under a single rule, but it is beset by enemies both internal and external.

The Imperium commands the space between the stars, ensuring that civilisation endures and trade continues. Megacorporations and feudal lords conduct the bulk of this trade, but there will always be a place for the free trader – hardy travellers and adventurers on the fringes of known space, dealing in strange goods and smuggled cargoes, doing whatever they can to make a credit.

## Character Creation
Character creation for Traveller Genesys begins with selecting a Species, a Homeworld and an aspect of Schooling. This will tend to generate more experienced characters than normal Genesys creation, which represents the Traveller dynamic of starting later in life.

### Peoples of the Imperium
##### Aslan
Aslan are roughly human-sized and humanoid, and are descended from four-limbed, upright, bipedal carnivore-pouncer stock. The earliest Terran explorers saw in them a vague resemblance to the Terran lion, and they have been described by Terrans as lion-like ever since. There are two sexes, male and female. The male is most easily distinguishable by his larger size and prominent mane. Females outnumber males three to one.
 
In Aslan society, warriors, rulers and diplomats are males; scientists, technicians, merchants and managers are females. This separation is entirely cultural, not biological.

* **Starting Wound Threshold:** 12 + Brawn
* **Starting Strain Threshold:** 9 + Willpower
* **Starting Experience:** 90
* **Starting Skills:** An Aslan starts with one rank in Athletics during character creation. They obtain this rank before spending experience points, and may not increase Athletics above rank 2 during character creation.
* **Dewclaw:** When making an unarmed combat check, add +1 to base damage and have a Critical rating of 3.
* **Alpha:** Aslan add b to Charm, Deception, Leadership, and Negotiation checks, but add b to Coercion checks. This does not apply when interacting with other Aslan.

##### Bwap
The Bwaps (from their name for themselves, Bawapakerwa-a-a-awapawab, also known as Wabs or Newts) are the most widely spread non-Human race in the Third Imperium. This is a result of their wide employment in the Ziru Sirka (the Vilani First Imperium) as government and corporate bureaucrats. Bwaps have a mindset with a powerful fixation on order and honesty, and are born bureaucrats.
 
Bwaps are very successful as administrators, bureaucrats, technicians, scientists, and merchants. While Bwaps are not known for their creativity, they are much respected for their thoroughness; a few Bwap assistants in a research project can multiply the effectiveness of that research greatly.

* **Starting Wound Threshold:** 8 + Brawn
* **Starting Strain Threshold:** 12 + Willpower
* **Starting Experience:** 100
* **Starting Skills:** A Bwap starts with one rank in both Admin and Education during character creation. They obtain these ranks before spending experience points, and may not increase these skills above rank 2 during character creation.
* **Small:** Bwaps are smaller than average and count as silhouette 0.
* **Amphibious:** Bwaps can breathe underwater, and take no movement penalties through water.
* **Water Dependence:** If a Bwap has not been doused in water in the last 24 hours, the character's wound threshold is reduced by 2. This remains in effect until the Bwap is doused in water.

##### Humaniti - Darrian
The Darrians are a race of independently evolved humans who pursue scholastic learning, using their knowledge to maintain a peaceful empire of advanced technology. Despite their diplomatic tendencies, the Darrians are renown throughout the Third Imperium, not for who they are or where they are located but simply because they hold the most powerful destructive weapon in the known universe – the Star Trigger.

##### Humaniti - Solomani
Of all the intelligent species inhabiting Charted Space, Humaniti has a unique history (and perhaps a unique destiny). Long before recorded history, Humans were transplanted from their homeworld to dozens of planet elsewhere in the galaxy. Since then, they have evolved in many diverging directions. Much of the cultural variety in the modem Third
Imperium is due to the interaction among these widely scattered Human civilizations.

##### Humaniti - Sylean
The Syleans were in their Iron Age when first contacted by the Vilani. Conquest soon followed. and the race was subject to Vilani rule for
thousands of years. Only an unlikely combination of historical accidents permitted some Syleans to retain an independent civilisation. When Sylea became the capital of the Sylean Confederation (and later Ihe Third Imperium itself), the native Sylean culture became uniquely influential. Today pure-blooded Syleans still survive, and have influence on Imperial affairs out of proportion with their numbers.

##### Vargr
The Vargr are a major race of intelligent humanoid beings who resemble anthropomorphic wolves. They are unique among major races. and indeed most sapient species, in that they were not the product of natural selection. but are rather the culmination of an experiment in artificial evolution by the Ancients.
 
Vargr are upright bipeds who resemble a humanoid wolf with a bipedal posture and arms ending in hands instead of paws. Their bodies are covered with short fur, generally gray, brown, black or rust colored. Their muzzle is shorter and less pronounced then a Terran canine, but still quite evident with strong jaws and sharp teeth.

##### Uplifted Dolphins
The common Atlantic bottlenose Dolphin was genetically engineered to create a hardier and more intelligent species,
*Tursiops galactis*, that could easily adapt to the oceans of different planets. The goal was to provide partners for Human settlers and underwater combatants and scouts for nautical force commands.
 
The most complex modifications to *T. galactis* were in the brain and nervous system. Genetic engineering increased the number of nerve cells in the cortex by almost 50%. Flippers were altered to create short finger-like projections at their ends.
 
*T. galactis* still cannot move on land on its own. They can move in zero-gravity when they can use their tails to push off from solid surfaces but otherwise the best way to maneuver out of the water is to use a grav belt.

A Dolphin out of water will become fatigued within 5 x Brawn minutes and must make an Easy (d) Resilience check each hour after that or suffer 1 strain. The difficulty of the check increases by 1 each hour. While in this state Dolphins cannot heal Strain.
 
This does not apply if the Dolphin is in its equivalent of a vacc suit, in an atmosphere with very high humidity or has had Hydrogel applied.
* **Sonar:** Dolphins add b to Perception checks. Additionally they ignore all b related to vision impairment.
* **Waldos:** Dolphins begin play with a specially fitted set of artificial manipulative arms or waldos, which permit them to handle objects almost as well as Humans. Without these they suffer +bb to all checks requiring hands.
* **Spaceworthy:** Dolphins start with the EVA Training talent.

### Careers
Careers do two things for characters. First, they let the characters count eight skills as career skills. This means that all other skills are non-career skills for your character. Secondly, they let your character start the game with four ranks in four separate career skills of your choosing, representing your character’s greater training and focus in matters concerning their career.
 
Careers can be created in cooperation between player and GM or selected from the list below.
 
Careers converted from Traveller have 5 career skills and require the selection of an assignment that provides the remaining 3 alternate career skills available.

## Gear
In general all the usual Traveller gear carries across easily to Genesys using the basic rule of granting 1 or more b to a relevant skill check.

Weapons and armour have mostly been taken from the Traveller Central Supply Catalog, which contains all the descriptions etc.
 
As with all Traveller equipment tables are sorted by Tech Level (TL).

##### Slug Throwers
Despite advances in energy weapons and other offensive technologies, accelerating a small piece of metal to a high velocity is still one of the most efficient ways of killing someone. Chemically propelled firearms give way to gyrojet (rocket bullets) and gauss (electromagnetically launched bullets) as technology advances.
 
##### Handguns
The basic self-defence sidearm is a handgun; a small weapon holding a limited amount of ammunition and capable of being fired using either one or both hands. The two most common types of slug throwing handgun are revolvers and self-loading pistols (often known as semi-automatics, automatics or autopistols). All Handguns use Ranged [Light] for combat checks.

**High Explosive Armour Piercing Rounds**: HEAP ammunition is available for snub weapons and some large calibre weapons such as shotguns, where it functions like solid ball or slug ammunition. HEAP is designed to offset the low velocity of the round with a shaped explosive effect, enabling snub weapons to punch through armour and do respectable damage despite their low impact. HEAP is carefully controlled as a Cat 3 weapon and less readily available than Ball ammunition. It can only be used in weapons over 10mm in calibre.
 
 
**Rocket-Assisted Multipurpose** RAM grenades have a built-in booster system, which ignites upon firing, vastly increasing the velocity (and thus the range) of the round. RAM grenades may be fired from a variety of launchers. These include rather basic weapons which are little more than a tube and a handgrip, with a crude sighting system. Belt- and magazine-fed automatic grenade launchers are also quite common. In addition, RAM grenade launchers can be mounted on the ACR. and the gauss rifle.

##### Laser Weapons
Laser weapons damage their target by dumping vast quantities of energy into a concentrated spot, causing massive heating that can lead to explosions, especially where fluids are turned to steam.
Lasers are less effective in an atmosphere and can be defeated by smoke, rain and so on but have the advantage of being silent and recoilless.

**Variable Wavelength Laser Projection System** - Using a computerised modulation suite attached to the focussing chamber of a bulky laser rifle system, this weapon emits a multi-wavelength laser that scans, adjusts to and appropriately blasts a target all at once. By automatically configuring to the substance it is striking in nanoseconds after the laser is emitted, the beam adapts to better disassemble the target on a molecular level. The VW-LPS ignores 1 point of armour a target has, cumulative with consecutive hits on the same target.

##### Gauss Weapons
Gauss Weapons use electromagnetic effects to accelerate projectiles to very high velocity. Although of smaller calibre than other projectiles, gauss needles penetrate armour better and deliver worse injuries on the whole.

##### High-Energy Weapons
High-energy weapons (plasma and fusion weapons) hurl bolts of superheated gas, which in some cases proceeds to fusion. They are devastating in effect but in many cases require battle dress to operate due to the weight of the weapon and its power supply.
Higher-tech weapons include gravitic compensation and can be used by an unarmoured soldier. High-energy weapons require careful maintenance, since a containment failure poses an extreme hazard to friendly personnel.

**Infantry Support Plasma Weapon** - Also known as plasma bazooka, this weapon is a rather crude high-energy weapon capable of delivering a loose clot of plasma out to a reasonable range. It takes two full actions to reload.

**Plasma Gun, Man Portable** - The PGMP-12 consists of a power pack carried on the firer’s back, the weapon itself and a flexible power link. Plasma is contained in the ignition chamber briefly and then released through a magnetically focused field.

**Fusion Gun, Man Portable** - The fusion gun is similar in design and function to the PGMP, differing only in that it contains the plasma slightly longer until a fusion reaction begins to take place.

### Melee Weapons
Guns jam, bowstrings snap and ammunition runs out. When it happens, you need a backup. And of course in some situations a hand weapon is the best tool for the job. Hand weapons are legal in most locations and can be as lethal as any laser or projectile weapon, although they lack range.

##### Tech Levels
Weapons and armour at lower tech levels are less effective against their more advance counterparts. The easiest way to account for this is to modify the Pierce rating.

If a weapon is 5+ TL below armour TL then reduce the Pierce rating by 3.

Conversely if a weapon is 5+ TL above the armour TL then increase the Pierce rating by 3.

These rules should only apply to Combat Armour, Powered Armour and Battle Dress.

##### Combat Armour
Combat armour is a complete vacc suitlike array of metal and synthetic armour. Combat armour is strictly military and not available on the open market. Requires vacc suit training.

##### Armour Upgrades
Dolphin Suit (TL 11): Dolphin vacc suits, combat armour and battle dress provide a 100% humidity environment. This allows the Dolphin to operate out of water while still providing it with breathable air. A serious breach in a Dolphin vacc suit, combat armour, water suit or battle dress will eliminate the suit’s ability to keep the Dolphin wet.

Grav Assist (TL 12): This upgrade can be added to battle dress, powered armour or combat amour only. It is fitted with artificial gravity modules allowing the wearer to fly at the cost of Cr. 110,000. The TL 15 version costs Cr. 120,000 but lasts longer. The internal battery can operate for four hours before needing to be recharged. At TL 15, the battery can operate for 12 hours.

##### Powered Armour Suits
Aided by servos, pneumatics and counterweight mechanisms, powered armour suits slightly enhance the wearer’s strength at the cost of having limited use between refuelling or charging. Powered suits, if sealed, offer total protection from gas and airborne biological agents as well as ample radiation shielding. Requires vacc suit training. Brawn increases do not increase soak value.

##### Battle Dress
Representing the ultimate in individual protection, Battle Dress can be considered to be an advanced and powered version of combat armour, though it is constructed very differently. Battle Dress enhances the strength and senses of individuals wearing it with variable feedback personal controls, servo-powered limbs and various kinds of electronic assistance.
 
Characters wearing battle dress are treated as having enhanced characteristics for the purposes of carrying and combat but not for taking damage. The basic model does not come with any weapons built in; troops are usually armed with the best small arms and energy weapons available.
 
Without proper training wearing battle dress is a clumsy affair requiring a maneuver each round unless standing still. Even then setback dice are applied depending on the level of complexity. Brawn increases do not increase soak value.

### Weapon & Armour Customisations
The Item Attachments and Hard Points alternate rules in the Genesys core book can be used. Each item has a number of hard points equal to half of its encumbrance value, rounded up. The below SWRPG attachments can be used.

<!--- 

The first mod is a Hard (ddd) Mechanics check; each subsequent mod upgrades the difficulty once.

The first mod costs Cr100 for the parts; each subsequent mod costs twice the previous amount (200, 400, 800, etc).

A failed roll results in the mod not being installed and no further mods are allowed on this attachment.

A d results in the destruction of the attachment.

A failure with a d results in the destruction of the weapon and attachment.

Most attachments remain the same as their SWRPG counterparts. See following notes.

--->

**Augmented Spin Barrel:** May only be used on Laser rifle weapons. Cr1750
 
**Balanced Hilt:** Cr1500
 
**Blaster Actuating Module:** May only be used on Laser pistol weapons. Cr500

### Drones

Drones are automated devices with rudimentary intelligence-simple robots, in other words. They can perform uncomplicated actions such as scouting, recording footage, or searching for predetermined items or persons. A character can control a drone directly through a linked hand computer or similar device.

Commanding a drone generally requires a maneuver, though more complex commands might require an action and a Computers check. At the GM's discretion. Especially convoluted orders might require far longer to program.

Drones function much the same way that vehicles do, with the addition of Pilot and Expert programs that allow them to function semi-autonomously. They function on personal scale rather than planetary scale.

**Pilot Programs**

A drone’s Pilot program isn’t so much a program as a type of firmware that measures the drone’s flexibility and
intelligence. Most drones, if left to their own logic, are not to terribly bright but enthusiastic.

A Pilot rating acts as the drones only attribute while expert programs provide the skill ratings. Together they form the drone’s dice pool when operating independently.

When directly controlled by a remote operator their Pilot program is ignored.

**Expert programs**

Expert programs grant drones skill ranks. Some expert programs are specific to a drone type or weapon carried, so transferring a Ranged [Heavy] expert from a combat drone to a probe drone would prove incompatible. Many drones start with their own onboard expert programs.

Most skills can be transferred to expert programs, for example: adding Knowledge skills to a combat drone makes it a floating, shooting encyclopedia; Driving for a personal drone gives you the perfect designated driver; a cargo robot with Brawl and Vigilance can protect your warehouse.

When directly controlled by a remote operator Expert programs provide a Boost to relevant rolls.

**Drone Combat**

Drones fight like characters, using their Pilot attribute and Skills. They have Soak and System Strain based on their model, as well as hardpoints for equipment.
An operator may use their own skills with the drone’s sensors, speed, and weapons.
Drones use their Pilot attribute alone for tests they may have to make that they do not have expert programs for.

##### Cargo Robot (TL 11)
These simple, heavy-duty robots are found in starport docks and on board cargo ships. They have enough intelligence to unload crates but are easily confused by unexpected situations. When confused they shut down unless given direct commands, to ensure they don’t accidentally damage anything with their massive strength. Cargo drones can be constructed as low as Technology Level 9 but their utility is extremely limited until the invention of Intellect programs.

### New Qualities
###### Choke (Passive)
The target, and all engaged characters (friend or foe), must pass a Resilience check with a difficulty equal to this weapon’s Choke rating; those that fail suffer 2 strain for each f result. Wearing a breathing apparatus will improve the chance of success, or even negate the requirement for a check to be made at all - this is up to the GM’s discretion.

###### Click-Click (Active)
The GM may spend hhh to have this weapon run out of ammo.

###### DSAP (Passive)
Discarding Sabot Armour Piercing rounds are a more advanced armour-piercing round which can be used only from high-velocity longarms such as rifles, carbines and gauss rifles and their larger support equivalents.
 
Adds Pierce +1 to weapons loaded with this ammunition. Damage does not change.

###### Frangible (Passive)
Armour soak is doubled against damage from these weapons. Often paired with Vicious on flechette weapons. They are also used for ship-board combat to avoid hull breaches.

###### Overload (Passive)
The target (or impact point), and all engaged characters (friend or foe), suffer damage to all electronic (or electronically enhanced) equipment they possess equal to the weapon’s Overload rating.

###### Reliable (Passive)
This weapon ignores any imposed b on it due to being damaged. Any repairs attempted on this weapon apply b to the check.

###### Synthetic Killer (Passive)
Synthetic targets (robots, androids, cyborgs, etc) hit by a weapon with this quality, must pass a Hard (ddd) Resilience or
Computers check; those that fail suffer 2 strain for each f result.

###### Suppressive (Passive)
The target, and each character (friend of foe) engaged with them, suffers an amount of strain damage equal to value of this quality.

###### Versatile (Passive)
This weapon may be used one handed, although when it is it gains the Cumbersome 3 quality.

### New Rules
#### Rejoining the Fray
A character has the option of attempting to rejoin the battle after exceeding his wound threshold. A character may make a Hard (ddd) Resilience check (upgrade difficulty once for every 5 points over wound threshold) once per round they are unconscious and consult the following table:

| Roll | Result |
|:---:|:---|
| f d | Take one critical hit per d and one point of damage per f |
| f | Suffer one wound per f |
| f t | Upgrade ability pool once per t; suffer one wound per f |
| s d | Upgrade difficulty once per d |
| s | Heal one wound per s to a maximum of WT +1 |
| s t | Reduce damage to WT; regain consciousness but upgrade any checks twice (-1 per t) |

a and t can be spent to apply b or b on subsequent rolls.

You can regain consciousness like this once per encounter.

<!---

#### Alternate Autofire
**Burst mode:** add b dice to represent the extra bullets (but no multiple hits). Increase the weapon's Cumbersome rating by 1 when firing in Burst mode.
 
**Full auto:** add b dice and upgrade (not increase) the difficulty once. Multiple hits are allowed per every aa spent. Increase the weapon's Cumbersome rating by 2 when firing in Full auto mode.
