Gears

Not all Ultra-Tech gears are Traveller-universe alright. Here is a digest of what exist (that you are aware of).

Legality Classes

  • UWO/Imperial civilian installation such as Highports during peacetime have a CR4 (1000km radius)
  • UWO/Imperial official installations and naval, scientific, governmental, scout/courrier and construction installations are CR5 (1000km radius).
  • Unlike what is specified in GURPS IW, most CR6 worlds are treated as CR4:
    • CR6: Dystopia such as 1984's Airstrip One, The Crysalid's Labrador, North Korea.
    • CR5: Typical level for repressive dictatorships. 
    • CR4: Most UWO sovereign governments, European union.
    • CR3: Parts of current day United States of America. Minimal functioning level for democracies.
    • CR2: hands-off corporate administration
    • CR1: Ethical lawlessness
  • Licensing:
    • Case LC = CR: Item must be registered to your valid ID.
    • Case LC = CR - 1: Restricted uses. You must obtain a permit. 
    • Unregistered/Unauthorized item: Must be packaged and disassembled and treated as cargo.
      • Exception: Ship's locker may contain as many cutlasses and LC3 as there are crew members. Permit is valid within the ship only.
    • Case LC < CR - 1: Needs permit to carry as cargo.
