The Adjutant

The Adjutant is a series of ten books, published as a newsletter/magazine, that used the Striker vehicle design sequences to produce military and para-military vehicles for use with Classic Traveller and Striker.

Together, the ten books make a hell of a vehicle reference for CT, with each vehicle given its own illustration.

Complete details, right down to the type of ammo used, are listed for each entry.

It was the aim of the Adjutant to use Striker design sequences to create all (or most of) the vehicles used in the Imperial Army circa 1105 to 1115 (during the "Golden Age" of Traveller).

Different variations of vehicles are shown, and detailed text about certain aspects of the displayed vehicle is provided. Specific game rules are described as well, but weapons are only described in Striker terms.

This set of supplements is perfect for Traveller players who love Book 4, Striker, and David Drake's Hammer's Slammers set of novels.

Consider these vehicles the type your characters will gain transport skills in when going through character generation as a military career.

I will list each vehicle below.

Just to clarify - almost all the vehicles in the Adjutant series are TL13. This limits their usefulness outside a limited range of worlds.

I'm not sure the following is accurate either...
"It was the aim of the Adjutant to use Striker design sequences to create all (or most of) the vehicles used in the Imperial Army circa 1105 to 1115 (during the "Golden Age" of Traveller)."

They bear no relation to cannon Imperial vehciles.

The Adjutant considers, carefully, this very issue. Much thought was put into the tech level of each piece of equipment. Not all equipment is at TL 13. The tech varies on the actual piece of equipment. Many of the wheeled vehicles, for example, were created at TL 9.

The Adjutant states that, while higher tech equipment has more features, it's also very expensive. Cost is always an issue when arming and army. But, more importantly, is support and logistics for the equipment. Soldiers on a world fighting with PGMPs will likely have a hard time finding replacement plasma cylindars and parts when the weapons are damaged. Maintaining your own supply is paramount (not to mention vastly expensive) in these types of campaigns. But, bullets are available on almost all worlds with any population center in the Imperium, able to be manufactured at a low tech. Combine this with cost issues of higher tech, and you've got a strong argument for arming your troops with capable, but not necessarily the highest tech, equipment.

The equipment in the Adjutant strives to find a balance between tech level, cost, and combat efficiency.

I actually think the supplements are brilliant in that the amount of thought that was put into the designs (rather than just automatically make all Imperial equipment at TL 15 as we normally see in Traveller) reached that level of depth.

If you read the supplements, they make a strong case for going in with high tech versions of ACRs rather than BattleDress and FGMPs.

To see some of the depth written about the equipment, see the May 28, 2007 post in THIS thread.

Would you be interested in helping design some new vehicles as soon as we get the new design sequences for Striker III completed (I am waiting to get more info on Grav tech from T5 if there is any)???
