K'kree (Alien Module) is a Game Designers Workshop product.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

One of the Imperium's interstellar neighbors is a six-limbed vegetarian race known as the K'kree. Their empire includes hundreds of star systems, and their rule is absolute. Rough similarities to creatures of human legend prompt some humans to call them Centaurs. This enigmatic, fanatically vegetarian race has long been a mystery to the ordinary human, and now it is possible to learn more about their complex culture and society.

K'kree, Traveller Alien module 2 (see Meta-History and Background below), describes in detail this alien race, its homeworld, its far-flung empire, and its fascinating starfaring society.

This Alien Module includes:

  • K'kree History and Culture: Detailed essays on the origins and nature of the K'kree, their culture, their behavior, their government, and their society.
  • K'kree Character Generation: Comprehensive character generation system, especially designed for K'kree characters, including provisions for the generation of K'kree family groups (they never travel alone) likely to be encountered in K'kree territory, and in the human Imperium.
  • Advanced Character Generation: Character and skill tables for Mercenary and High Guard (you must have the Mercenary and High Guard booklets to make full use of them) allow the generation of K'kree characters using these rule books.
  • World Generation: Tables and rules for creating K'kree worlds, governments, bases, law and tech levels.
  • K'kree Encounters: Patrons and random encounter lists for ventures into K'kree territory, both by K'kree and by other races.
  • Starships: K'kree starship construction parameters and rules for their use.
  • K'kree Word Generation: Fast and easy generation of K'kree names and words, with an aid to pronunciation - to add depth to any K'kree adventure.
  • The K'kree Stellar Empire: A basic multi-sector map of K'kree territory showing its relationship to the Imperium and other interstellar governments. Sectors are named in K'kree, with Imperial names where applicable.
  • Three K'kree scenarios start any group out in their contact with the K'kree, and provide a springboard for further adventures.
