Cluster Trucks Cover ebook front.jpg

For centuries the Truckers have kept the worlds of the Estuary Cluster connected. Long years, hard years, but proud years. Trucking is a way of life, even if it ends with a Trucker’s Wake.

Now the corporate shipping lines want to take over the spacelanes. Canaveral Station is under blockade, rigs impounded and crews in the slammer. The only thing left to do is hold a wake for a way of life.

Unless…

‘This is Angry Bird to Slicksilver. The Smokeys have bought your diversion. Starting my run.’

‘Hardhat to Angry Bird. I’m on your six.’

‘Rocket Jockey here. Commencing… that thing I’m about to do.’

‘Don’t die, you hear me?
Darksky, you there? We’re kickin’ the door open for ya. Seeya on the other side.’

Cluster Truck
is a complete campaign that will see your Travellers take command of their own small craft, hauling cargo across a system. They will steal potatoes, get covered in frozen beer in deep space, take part in a history-making riot, uncover corporate skullduggery, and smash a blockade while confounding local law enforcement!
 
So how many new High Guard rules...
"New stuff" in the sense of entirely new components that you might put on a real ship? Some salvage drones and a salvage capture thingie. A variant docking clamp.

A bunch of stuff on jury-rigging and using substandard components that doesn't change anything about building proper ships, but allows you to play in a "I wonder what will break this week" level of shipping that isn't a thing in High Guard currently.

A bunch of stuff on using Astrogation for in system travel.

Obviously haven't played with any of this yet to see how it actually works, but it is all the kind of thing I want to work and was missing from basic Traveller, imho. Not everyone will want a flying rustbucket vibe or spend any time on in system travel instead of just jumping, but both those things are right up my alley.
