Its Emperors have reigned for a thousand years, building a utopian society based upon the pillars of duty, honour, free trade and a powerful navy that protects its worlds and enforces its laws. Despite all of its grand achievements, the Imperium has a dark side. It has committed genocide on its own worlds. Its leaders have assassinated and murdered each other in battle to obtain the throne. A civil war nearly tore it apart, ending the dream of its visionary first Emperor. Yet with all the Imperium has been through, it has somehow endured.

Mongoose Publishing Traveller: Mercenary Adventure 3: Must Travel, Need Guns

The planetary government of Kolan is one of 'those' clients. Prepared to pay a warfighter's fee, they rushed mercenaries up to the front and told them to wait for authorisation to act. And wait. And wait. Meanwhile the insurgents become ever more bold. Now the government wants to terminate the contract and withhold part of the fee for failing to fulfil the mission objectives. The mercenaries need to demonstrate they would have made a good-faith attempt at the mission objectives had they not been hamstrung, but rules of engagement preclude offensive operations. The mercenaries are allowed to support patrols that come under attack, however, so with a little creativity they may have a pretext to pick a fight... and hopefully win it. An unexpectedly hot engagement reveals the insurgents are receiving offworld support, including advanced weapons. The mercenaries have been ordered to withdraw, but the insurgents' base could be a threat to their retiring force. They are allowed to clear their flanks, but that would require raiding the insurgents' home base, defeating their forces and fulfilling the contract despite the client's intentions. And if they happen to seize a shipment of powerful weapons in the process... well, that is mere coincidence.

Mongoose Publishing Traveller: Mercenary Adventure 2: Bug Hunt

The Pokoss are a destructive nuisance on Paradise of El, but no more than that... until now. Their behaviour has changed, and security forces are calling for assistance. A mercenary unit is required to drive back an infestation of the creatures threatening Aldia City. The situation is much worse than expected, with thousands of Pokoss marching towards the city devouring everything in their path. The city's leadership has staked everything on a defensive line held by inexperienced and amateurish militia. Overwhelmed by the enormous numbers of Pokoss, the Travellers must coordinate a defence of the city against the external threat whilst dealing with inept superiors and unruly militia leaders. The city will have to be abandoned unless the mercenaries can turn the tide... and getting out might be just as difficult as defeating the Pokoss.

Mongoose Publishing Traveller: Mercenary Adventure 1: Veloren Hoop

The war for Medrealm is entering its final stages. As the balance tips ever further towards the Galian Federation, offworld mercenaries and their Medrealmer allies are trapped in the Rammline Pocket. Rumours abound that the Galians are not honouring repatriation bonds. The nearest repatriation haven is hundreds of kilometres away, and evacuation by grav vehicle is not possible unless Galian aerospace interdiction can be evaded. The choice is between surrender and a desperate lunge up the Aix Valley to buy time for a desperate enterprise - a Verloren Hoop, or Forlorn Hope. The Travellers are sent to infiltrate the high slopes of the Transaix Pass, collapsing the mountainside ahead of the advancing Galians. From there they are flung into battle, plugging a hole in the defensive line. With the situation stabilised they can begin the most dangerous phase of the operation. Success might open a window for evacuation, but the odds are stacked against the Travellers. Requires the Mercenary box set.

Mongoose Publishing Traveller: Field Catalogue

The Field Catalogue presents a selection of weaponry and equipment to suit all budgets and requirements, from handguns to grav tanks, from boots to starships. For those wanting something special the weapon design system puts custom firepower in the hands of your mercenaries. Balance knockdown power against armour penetration and magazine capacity; magazine capacity against the ability to get a shot on target before the opposition fires back. This book also has rules for situations the average Traveller never encounters: chemical warfare, standoff missile attacks, artillery bombardment and manoeuvring under fire on a low-gravity planetoid. Among the force-multipliers and problem solvers in the Field Catalogue are distraction grenades, auto-hacking intrusion devices and thermal concealment coverings. Personal weaponry ranges from the ubiquitous 'Mark 1' handgun to top-end gauss sniping weapons. For those with a bigger budget, the Field Catalogue presents a range of vehicles with options packages. The basic Negav 10-wheel truck is a humble logistics vehicle, but for a few thousand Credits more it can become a mobile headquarters or improvised ground assault platform. The S-series grav platform can transport troops to the battle area or provide support with its autocannon and Blackjack gun/missile system. The very richest commanders can travel in style aboard the Gravitas skiff or take command of a Shadow gunship for more direct action.

Mongoose Publishing Traveller: Mercenaries of Charted Space

There is more to being a successful mercenary than fighting. A smart commander knows what to expect from the client and how far they can be trusted; how to go about obtaining recruits and weaponry, and who the opposition might be.

The unique characteristics of each region are detailed, along with some of the dealers, agencies and notable mercenary forces found there... and ongoing conflicts to plunge right into. Learn how to approach an Aslan noble with an offer of service, and what to expect in return; how to register with the Imperial authorities, and whether the Instellarms Million Credit Bond is worth the money. Be ready for the nightmarish machinations of a Hiver client, or the bizarre antics of Team Xtreme. Prepare for K'kree invasion in Gateway or join a desperate war of annihilation between two Aslan clans. Mercenaries of Charted Space - your guide to a successful and prosperous career in the Third Imperium and beyond.

Mongoose Publishing Traveller: Specialist Forces

Mercenaries hope they will never be confronted with chemical or nuclear warfare, but if they are this volume has the necessary information. It also covers the operations of specialist formations ranging from armoured infantry to security formations and intelligence commandos. The unit world of Starmercs is also explored, with information on the operations and equipment undertaken by forces whose primary asset is a starship. Modules for converting a conventional ship to a mercenary transport are presented, along with specialist mercenary tickets.

Units are rated according to their capabilities in critical areas such as direct combat, aerospace defence or bombardment.

Sometimes that is the same as winning the fight... but not always. Begin Operations. The mission and ticket resolution rules allow large and small-scale operations to be quickly resolved.

Weapon design rules allow you to customise weaponry to your unique requirements.Deploy Specialists.

From that sea grows the Clench, a writhing mass of plant life that extends far into the desert, providing life-giving crops for the world's six million people. Unfortunately, the Clench is dying and the only people who can help are a remote community of psionic exiles living in the deep desert.

Mongoose Publishing Traveller: 2300AD Aerospace Engineers Handbook

Aerospace engineering is the art and science of designing spacecraft and starships. This practice encompasses a range of craft from sleek surface-to-orbit craft to lumbering bulk carriers, and the aerospace engineer is key to their design.

The Aerospace Engineers' Handbook also contains a selection of drones and ships, for Travellers to command, fight, or run away from, with advanced rules for spacecraft combat.
