Party composition?

[chrisr]

I'm currently in the process of setting up a series of short missions, for my players, as an Imperial Army special forces team on strike missions behind Solomani lines. My players are pretty new to Traveller. So I figured pre-gen characters would be easier to get some interest in the setting, without the confusion of hours of dice rolling and searching thru' rulebooks, 1 player at a time!!
The plan is:- A demolitions expert, a 'techie' (comms, electronics etc), a medic, a weapons specialist and an 'operations' man(bribery, recruiting, carousing etc).
The mission:- Lift some important intel before blowing up a meson comms centre.
The twist:- One of the team is a Solsec agent.

An Army/Barbarian/Traveller, my best guess is comic relief.

For the GM perhaps.
I thought that's what the Three Sto...Vargr were for?

So far the whole crew is fun. I'm waiting for Doc to ask for the pole in the medical bay.

My sporadic T20 game contains:

- A "market level" human merchant type, who can get by flying solo if he has to, but would rather let someone else do that stuff.

- An ex-Marine who claims to be able to drive most anything that *isn't* a starship.

- An ex-Navy Engineering type with a fixer-upper old Type S on the long-term pad four parsecs away across enemy lines...

- A disenfranchised minor Noble who isn't suffering the rest of the family's ill-fortune mostly due to having been from the pig-farmer branch of the family...

- and a bonafide, guaranteed to terrify, hotshot at both newsnet hacking and starship piloting. Military-grade nets don't scare her, but they should...
