Introduction

Players wishing to generate characters in Yori’s military may use the standard Advanced Character Generation system for Army characters presented in the MegaTraveller Players’ Manual with the following changes.

Start …

Choose Human or Zhurphani
… or throw 1d6: 1-4 Human, 5-6 Zhurphani.
Choose home location type
… or throw 1d6: 1-3 Scarland, 4-5 Mountain, 6 Desert.
Generate initial stats on the Basic Stats table (see below).
From age 16 to 18, a character is gaining skills rather than ‘education’ (hence the -2 penalty to EDU). Skills gained here start at level 0, with +1 levels if repeated. All characters automatically gain Gun Combat, Computer, and Wheeled Vehicle. Characters from the desert gain Survival (Desert). Finally, all characters also gain one other skill from the Other Default Skills table (see below).

Basic Stats
	Human	Zhurphani
STR	2d6	3d6
DEX	2d6	2d6
END	2d6	3d6
INT	2d6	2d6
EDU	2d6-2	2d6-2
SOC	2d6	2d6

Other Default Skills
	Scarland	Mountain	Desert
1	Herding	Survival (Mountain)	Survival (Desert)
2	Herding	Survival (Mountain)	Survival (Desert)
3	Herding	Survival (Mountain)	Survival (Desert)
4	History (Yori)	History (Yori)	History (Yori)
5	Language (Etip)	Language (Etip)	Language (Etip)
6	Quarterstaff	Quarterstaff	Quarterstaff

New Skills

History: This represents an in-depth knowledge of the distant past. (Recent history and some key distant historical events are included under EDU.) The history skill is qualified by its focus … in the case above “History (Yori)” refers to an in-depth knowledge of Yori’s distant past, along with its myths.

Etip: All characters are assumed to be fluent in Galanglic (the common language of the Third Imperium). Language represents skill in a second language … level 0 = basic competency, level 1 = fluent, level 2 = speak/write like a native. Etip is a now-dead language from Yori’s past (many historical religious documents were written in Etip).

Quarterstaff: This represents skill using a quarterstaff or similar long pole as a weapon. The vaothoi is a traditional quarterstaff-like weapon on Yori, especially among the religious orders. In combat, a vaothoi (or quarterstaff) is considered equivalent to a Cudgel/Staff but with +1 damage if STR 15+.

Pre-enlistment options

Characters may choose to join the merchants for one term prior to higher education and/or service. Entry is automatic but reenlistment is not allowed (unless generating a merchant character instead of an army character).
Regardless, characters can then choose to attend college (see below).
College honours graduates will attend further education in the school of their choice: Medical or Flight Schools (see Players’ Manual), or Religious School (see below).

College (4 years)
Admission	9+	DM +2 if EDU 11+
Success	7+	DM +2 if INT 8+
OTC	8+	DM +2 if SOC 8+
Education	1d6-2	DM +1 if INT 9+
Honours	10+	DM +1 if INT 10+

1 or more points awarded for Education may be traded for additional rolls on the Other Default Skill table.

Religious School (4 years)
Success	8+	DM +2 if EDU 8+
Honours	11+	DM +1 if EDU 11+
Skills	+1 EDU, 1d6-3 (min=0) levels of History (Yori) 1d6-3 (min=0) levels of Language (Etip) 1d6-3 (min=0) levels of Quarterstaff

Service

Once entered service in the Yorian Army, there are five branches (four regular, plus the “Hand of God” special forces branch). Graduates of flight school join the Aero Group, everyone else joins a branch equivalent to their home location type. Entry to HoG is via a special duty assignment.
