We-Babwa Class Far Trader

[Update 2025-08-19: High Guard stats have been updated to reflect Computer/10 and Jump Control/2. This decreases the cost by about MCr4.5, but does not otherwise impact the ship design.]

 

Here is the twentieth in the series of starships, small craft, and vehicles designed by members of the Traveller community using the Adventure Class Starship Geomorphs book. This series invites players and referees to test their skills as a Naval Architect, to design and share their unique geomorph-based creations, and join in showcasing the diverse creativity within our group.

Each post in this series will feature at minimum a distinct starship deck plan with a description and basic ship stats. Others may include full High Guard stats, supplemental text about the ship, adventure hooks, an illustration, and more. It is my hope these designs will provide entertainment in the long-standing Traveller "mini-game" of starship creation, and fresh inspiration for your campaigns. Enjoy!

My first Bwap ship. Geomorphs were tweaked more than usual to reflect their preferred smooth edge aesthetic. Enjoy!

The Refit Yard - Florian Provincial Merchant

 

I'm introducing a new feature to the Yet Another Traveller Blog: The Refit Yard.

From time to time I will be taking previously published classic Traveller starships and giving them an overhaul; updating specifications to Mongoose Traveller High Guard rules, updating deck plan graphics to my preferred style, fixing perceived deck plan irregularities, proposing ship variants, and creating new illustrations (as time allows). My intent is to keep the flavor of the original ship as much as possible, just refit them for the 21st century. I also hope to introduce players to older, less accessible ships they may not have encountered before.

The first ship is the Florian Provincial Merchant, from the pages of The Third Imperium magazine, Issue #8. Scans of this magazine are available through Marc Miller's Far Future Enterprises website, in the Apocrypha-2 collection.

Traveller Fonts

 

 

If you’ve ever flipped through an old Journal of the Travellers’ Aid Society or a classic Traveller supplement, you’ve probably noticed the distinct look of the text - it’s more than nostalgia, it’s design. Traveller has a legacy of unique fonts, from the clean, utilitarian typefaces used in JTAS articles to custom fonts created specifically for the game’s logos, headers, and ship schematics. Over the years, fans and designers have expanded this typographic tradition, creating Traveller specific fonts for various alien languages and symbols. The attached collection of .TTF font files and a PDF guide to using them will give referees and other creators the tools to make their handouts, deck plans, and other documents look authentically Traveller.

To the best of my knowledge, all fonts in the collection are freely available online. I'm just saving you the work of hunting for them. Additional fonts may be available online for a fee. Andrew Hunt of Quantum Enterprises has a font to help create deck plans. Moon Toad  Publishing has a font of various Traveller spaceship symbols. Both are available at DriveThruRPG.

Underground Prison Facility

Here is the sixteenth entry in the series of community designed geomorph layouts, this one using both the Adventure Class Starship Geomorphs book and the Starship Geomorphs 2.0 book. This one is a little different, and instead of a starship, geomorphs were used to create a building, in this case an underground prison facility. Lots of roleplaying opportunities here. Enjoy!
