Traveller: 20-Ton Launch PDF

The 20-ton launch is among the smallest general utility craft in common use, manufactured in many configurations throughout known space. This publication deals with nine common variants (including an armed version—the 20-ton gig). The vehicle’s low price and simple construction make it a very popular basis for conversions and add-ons. This book contains nine variants on the same basic design, and includes deckplans (scaled at 1/2" = 1.5 meters) and game ratings for Classic Traveller, MegaTraveller, and GURPS Traveller.

In addition to the standard, unmodified launch, this book describes:
• The Lifeboat variant, carried by small merchant starships, and equipped with emergency low berths for 24 passengers
• The Liaison Launch, for use as a mobile office/headquarters by business magnates or military officers
• The Survey Launch, used by scientific missions and bases
• The Search & Rescue variant
• The Hunting Launch, carried by yachts and safari ships
• The Retail Launch, used by retailers in remote areas as a mobile "general store"
• The Estate variant, used by managers of large plantations, factory farms, estates, and wilderness preserves.
• The Gig (Armed Launch)

This is the third PDF in a series of deckplan and short adventure books by award-winning Traveller author Loren K. Wiseman.
