I hope for:
Full colour deck plans (as per the 3D illustrations, but much bigger poster scale).
Lots of maps.
Official Traveller Dice (as per the T5 sets).
Pregen characters - an entire crew (6?) again put onto full colour character sheets w/ character illustrations.
Booklets for running the game - Encounters, Starship operations, combat etc.
An abbreviated intro Central Supply catalogue for essential equipment.

I think that character generation is a very central (and archetypal) part of the Traveller experience and therefore the starter box should have some character generation rules, probably only of a few careers (the core six from Classic Traveller, maybe?).
You should probably also give the prospective players a taste of all the Traveller staples - some exploration, skill/social challenges, personnel combat and basic ship operations/combat. No need for generation tables except for the character generation ones, but I think that the starter adventure should provide a robust taste of what's Traveller like.

Well, actually, if they choose six characters I hope they aren't the original six from Classic Traveller. It's too military weighted. I'd prefer them to have more of a mix:
Agent
Army
Navy
Merchant
Scout
Scholar
...maybe?
