We-Babwa Class Far Trader



[Update 2025-08-19: High Guard stats have been updated to reflect Computer/10 and Jump Control/2. This decreases the cost by about MCr4.5, but does not otherwise impact the ship design.]
 
Here is the twentieth in the series of starships, small craft, and vehicles designed by members of the Traveller community using the Adventure Class Starship Geomorphs book. This series invites players and referees to test their skills as a Naval Architect, to design and share their unique geomorph-based creations, and join in showcasing the diverse creativity within our group.

Each post in this series will feature at minimum a distinct starship deck plan with a description and basic ship stats. Others may include full High Guard stats, supplemental text about the ship, adventure hooks, an illustration, and more. It is my hope these designs will provide entertainment in the long-standing Traveller "mini-game" of starship creation, and fresh inspiration for your campaigns. Enjoy!

My first Bwap ship. Geomorphs were tweaked more than usual to reflect their preferred smooth edge aesthetic. Enjoy!

  1. Well done. Familiar form -- driven by the economics and engineering requirements -- but just different enough to feel alien. The "Mud Bath" is really evocative and you could imagine a human stuck on the ship for a few jumps first being kind of repulsed and then, eventually, wondering how he ever lived without one!
