As per the Mongoose Traveller/Classic Traveller rules with the following exceptions:

Starport roll is at -1, -2 for pop 5, -3 for pop 4, -4 for pop 3 or less. Refers to the biggest starport on the planet, often multiples exist.

Population is maxed at 8 for everywhere except Earth. Colonies simply haven't been there long enough to get that big.

Population is still rolled on 2d6-2, with -1 for size 0-2 or A+, -1 for atmosphere not 5,6 or 8, +1 if it is 5,6 or 8. An additional -1 is levied per 5 full parsecs away from Earth – the frontiers are sparsely inhabited.

Government stat refers to the number of different governments, what type they are is up to the GM.

Law level is 2d6-7 + pop stat

Number of 'states' table[edit]

Roll d6 vs population, roll accordingly

Population 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
d6 roll
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 1d3+1
2 1 1 1 1 1 1d3+1 1d3+1 1d6+1
3 1 1 1 1 1d3+1 1d6+1 1d6+1 2d4
4 1 1 1 1d3+1 1d4+1 1d6+1 2d4 3d3
5 1 1 2 1d4+1 1d6+1 2d4 2d4 3d4
6 1 2 1d3+1 1d6+1 2d4 2d6 2d4 3d4

For the proportion controlled by each state roll 1d10 for each state and divvy up the population accordingly. Eg Ares has a population of 3 000 000 and 5 states. Rolls are 1, 5, 6, 10 and 10. State 1 has 1/32 of the population = 93 750, state 2 has 5/32 = 468 750 and so on.

Law level refers to the largest state on the planet and is based on population, not govt type.

Tech level always has a +2 and a maximum of 12.

Agricultural worlds are pop 4-7, atmosphere 4-8, hydro 4-8 Industrial worlds are pop 8+, atmosphere 0-2, 4, 7, 9 High Tech worlds are TL 11+ High Population worlds are pop 8+ Rich Worlds are Atmosphere 6 or 8 and pop 5-8 Non industrial worlds are pop 3-5
