Note: For the examples of spacecraft design posted on this blog, I mostly use 2ed. Mongoose Traveller rules, but some examples using 1ed. rules will persist until they can be upgraded.

Look at the side column for variant rules I use in my campaign.

500dt Planetoid Ship "Babylon Judgment" owned by Prof. MacDougal

These deck plans of the 500dt planetoid ship first appeared in "Mongoose Traveller's Alien Races 5: The Solomani"(pp.100-101). Now using the newest Mongoose Traveller ship design rules (2ed.?).
