Can't read the text. Is it meant to be legible?

 

[Wisenhower]

It's written in Zhodani.

Also, super stoked! You may take my money yesterday for this.

Either something about one Ring to rule them all or a recruiting slogan, this dictionary isn't very good.

@MongooseMatt - do you have a translated version?

 

[MongooseBella]

We've just finished lunch (watching Severance). Abby putting in final checks now...

 

[Wisenhower]

@MongooseMatt - do you have a translated version?

I think it reads, "Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!"

 

[MongooseBella]

@MongooseMatt - do you have a translated version?

There's no translation. It is just nice looking Zhodani text If it helps its a recruitment poster designed to get people to sign up to go coreward

 

[Anstett]

Is there an 'official Zhodani text font?

I would love to see that in Fantasy Grounds. We have Aslan currently.

 

[Chumbly]

I think it reads, "Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!"

reminds me of the old joke, that if you shout at a Klingon the old insult..."Your mother wears army boots"... that after the insult is translated into Klingon for him, he will burst into immediate smiles, beaming at the great compliment you just paid his mother that you believe she wears the foot gear of a warrior.

Personally, though, I think the Zhodani recruiting text reads "Think how far away the Core is from your Mother in Law...."

 

[MongooseBella]

Either we've been very good this past year, or Friday is a bank holiday.

The true answer is much duller, Abby is off tomorrow

I serve the Soviez...Consulate!

Noble, Intendant, and Prole, presumably; all classes united to boldly push the Consulate forward. Makes you proud to be Zhodani.

Aliens of Charted Space Vol. 1 Update 2026: This was one of the very early books released for this edition of Traveller - and so it is time for an Update to these ever-present aliens. Expect glorious new artwork throughout, a thorough update of ships, vehicles and weapons... and maybe some tweaks to the aliens themselves...

Is this one going to be full rewrite like Vehicle Handbook or just smaller update?

 

[MongooseMatt]

Is this one going to be full rewrite like Vehicle Handbook or just smaller update?

We will know the answer to that in a month or so.

Some areas are scheduled for a grand revision (Mr Dorman's work on the Aslan has necessitated a few things, as has recent writing on the Zhodani), but if that is all that is done then it will be classed as a smaller update. If much more gets changed/revised then it will be a full re-write.

Will keep you all informed!

 

[Sigtrygg]

Will the Zhodani material go back to CT sources rather than the mistakes made in GT?

 

[CordwainerFish]

As long as those pieces of art go, I'll be happy.

 

[MongooseMatt]

Will the Zhodani material go back to CT sources rather than the mistakes made in GT?

We are not looking at GT for the Zhodani.

 

[Sigtrygg]

I am glad to hear that,considering the Zhodani in AoCS is nearly a cut and paste of GT in places and gets the rank and authority potential of proles completely wrong when compared with CT sources, almost as if the GT authors bought into Imperil propaganda

At last a book on the Travellers Aid Society ....
