When ships to sail the void between the stars have been invented, there will also be men who come forward to sail those ships.
— Johannes Kepler, Somnium, –2887 (1634 A.D.)
From launches to liners, from system defense boats to dreadnoughts, a starfaring campaign requires ships . . . and GURPS Traveller: Starships gives them to you! In addition to rules for designing and rating your own spaceships (at both TL9 and TL10), this book contains over 35 pre-designed craft, ranging from 10-ton fighters to 500,000-ton dreadnoughts, described in detail and ready for use in a campaign.
Deck plans are included for the:
- Vayu-Class Type T Patrol Cruiser.
- Leaping Snowcat-Class Safari Ship.
- Kugashin-Class Lab Ship.
- And a schematic diagram of the Tigress-class 500,000-ton dreadnought, the first time the internal view of this Imperial behemoth has seen print!
GURPS Traveller: Starships also details the "View from the Deck"; the experience of being aboard a starship. Passengers and pursers, bridge crews and black gang, owners and deckhands; they're all here.
Whether your campaign involves a single surplus scout ship or a fleet of dozens of warships, GURPS Traveller: Starships has everything you need!
(This is a digital reprint of a GURPS Third Edition product.)
