Ran my nephew Traveller game today. Having finished up the Great Hunt and received a nice payout, they did some shopping at the Vargr Capital, buying Battle Dress for their Vargo crewman.
Savage Vole, a contact from the Hunt, hired them to go investigate a distress report from an experimental gas giant mining platform.
Bugs in the System (Star Frontiers) begins.

Thinking about the economics of fleet maintenance.
2715 Gvaerlik A838441-C Ni { 2 } (C37+1) [165G] - CK - 932
The only system with a class A starport that can build jump 3 ships. Soung is higher tech, but the lack of asteroid belts means fewer resources, so might contribute flagships. But the bulk of the fleet is built at Gvaerlik. Population only 90k. How many ship tons can it build a year?

Thinking about my Vargr exclave, ran some population numbers.
The population is a little over 16.6 Billion, probably 85% Vargr, 7% Zhodani, 5% Vilani, and 3% other.
The vast majority of people are on the capital Okhokferr (9B) and Rekhzor (7B). Only other major planet is Ghaerlag (0.4B), gateway to Zhodani.
Okhokferr is a theocracy run by Kukh Akaiya, “Members of Akaiya’s Pack”. Led by Roukh Vaergvue, “Emperor Dragon”.

I should be prepping for my Traveller game, which has been on hiatus for too long. Instead I keep reading the new Pendragon books.
Uther could be a Vargr warlord, right?

Need ideas for my next Traveller session.
They are still on The (Vargr) Great Hunt. Next stop is collecting rare plants on a swampy, xeno-alligator infested planet.
What are some interesting events or encounters I can throw at them to keep them on their toes?

My group did “training week” for the Vargr Great Hunt. They were tested on marksmanship, archery, climbing, riding, stealth, and camp setup. Perfect score would be 90.
The PCs did not do very well, Captain Feyne Vyren got the lowest rating, Evicru Nur is middle of the pack.
They are being split into four teams for the next event, an Arctic Gazelle capture.

Why did I decide to give my players the option of an adventure that required me to come up with a dozen more Vargr names? 😅😂🤣😭

My crew have opted to work for Vargr going on The Great Hunt, an adaptation of Independence Games’s Grand Safari.
So now I need to work on defining my Vargr worlds better and make NPC hunters and staff.
Should keep the crew busy for a few months.

Finally named the Vargr far trader (400 tons TL-15 VA-DS42)
Rruetzollo Tsung “Fortune’s Dream”
Now I just need some names for old Imperial Cruisers from 2124 Lunion/Spinward Marches that are currently assigned to 2823 Duì/Foreven.

My group meets Sunday and I don’t really have anything planned yet. They are heading to Okhokferr from Nepenthe and could go to some combination of Duì, Zhèn, Qián, or Pequod along the way.
Once they deliver their shipment they have some Vargr friends, and there is a Zhodani embassy on Okhokferr that could make things interesting.
