In my campaign, the the diamond-encrusted ring of Kether is on Byrni. It's a ring with a diameter of 1 meter, diamond-encrusted, glowing and antigrav powered. It floats behind the rightful leader of the Sindal empire (or his steward, or anyone who has the control box) and bathes him in...

Dolberg Giant psychic whales don't need fleets, but their human pets feel safer if there is one. Four planetoid monitors in the range of 30.000 to 60.000 dton orbit the planet, and around two dozen SDBs patrol the space. They have 6 jump capable (J-2) 2.000 dton patrol cruisers (plus supply...

Browne Browne could also have a big fleet, but lacking enemies, they don't have one.

Vorito From all the non-Imperial, non-Aslan worlds in the region, Vorito should have the biggest fleet. TL and population wise, they could operate a few BatRons, but sadly, they lack a starport. And they are controlled by GeDeCo; they don't want to appear too aggressive. So what do they have...

I have crunched some numbers for the non-Imperial, non-Aslan worlds in Sindal, Borderlands, Tlaiowaha and Tobia where my players will likely be most active. Worlds with significant fleets (= at least one jump-capable ship with some firepower) are: Vorito Browne...

There are abstract "fleet strength" values for some of the planets, but that's too abstract for me. Has anyone made a list of ships (including SDBs and other ships not jump capable) each planet has? My players are starting to think about playing some planets against others, and I want to handle...

Thanks!

Arunisiir - Arunisiir Port Inc. pays money to GeDeCo Byrni - Receives infrastructure upgrades from GeDeCo Dolberg - GeDeCo controls the government Ergo - Failed attempt to establish starport by GeDeCo Exe - Starport operated by GeDeCo Exocet - GeDeCo is silent partner in...

The Imperium has an interest in peaceful, prosperous worlds. They have no particular interest that those worlds uphold democratic principles. The more important the world is, the more they will get involved. The local noble will surely offer to mediate or try to help find a mediator accepted by...

Thanks for the help so far, I will update the map shortly. And while we are at it: What are the holdings of PRQ in the area?

GeDeCo also tried to establish a starport on Ergo, but the factions on the planet started a nuclear war over the control of it. So far, this is the map of all the mentioned GeDeCo involvements:

Is there a list of all GeDeCo presences and projects? It would be helpful to drop little clues when the PCs visit a system where GeDeCo is/was active.

Don't today's planes often use airflow powered generators as backup power plants? This friction thing could be used in that role, if it is lighter/cheaper.

The Krampus class is a 1,400 dton system defense carrier, a low cost solution to control the outer reaches of systems that don't see a lot of traffic. It is a threat even to serious pirates, while, by its numerous small crafts, is able to "be" in multiple places at once to inspect civilian...

The Traveller universe runs on reputation and social standing. So to rent a starship, you not only need money, you need references. You need reputable people to vouch for you. A noble title and a TAS membership would be helpful, too. As for the original question: I don't think it breaks...
