I have a random observation about the characters in Firefly. Joss Whedon has stated that it's based on a campaign done in a 'major science-fiction system' that he played during the 1980s. Given that there are quite a few Traveller-isms scattered throughout the episodes, it's often theorised that the game in question was Traveller, although he's never confirmed this publically.
However, I noticed the other day that some of the characters could have been based on characters from a Traveller campaign, for example:

- A couple of army types.
That's all.
