[[Vargr (Alien Module)]] is a [[Game Designers Workshop]] product.
* It is a Vargr sophont source book written for [[Classic Traveller]].
* This [[publication]] has the following errata file: [[Errata Vargr]]
  
== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==
Terran canines, genetically manipulated to intelligence and transferred to another [[world]] by the mysterious and enigmatic [[civilization]] called the [[Ancients]]. These are the [[Vargr]], interstellar neighbors of the {{Imperium}}. Their seemingly irrational race has long been a mystery to the ordinary [[human]], and now it is possible to learn more about their [[culture]] and their [[society]]. 

''Vargr'', ''Traveller'' ''Alien Module'' 3, describes in detail this alien race, its [[homeworld]], and its starfaring society. 

This ''Alien Module'' includes:
* ''Vargr History and Culture:'' Several detailed essays on the nature of the Vargr, their culture, their behavior, and their society.
* ''Vargr Character Generation:'' Six basic careers, including Navy, Corsairs, army, Emissaries, Merchants, and Loners. Also included are details and modifications to standard systems to allow Vargr to be generated as Imperial citizens.
* ''Advanced Character Generation:'' Character and skill tables for [[Mercenary (book)|Mercenary]] and [[High Guard (book)|High Guard]] (you must have ''Mercenary'' and ''High Guard'' to use them fully).
* ''World Generation:'' Tables and rules for Vargr worlds, governments, bases, law and [[tech level]]s.
* ''Vargr Word Generation:'' Fast and easy generation of vargr names and words - to add depth to Vargr characters and worlds.
* ''The Vargr Extents:'' Basic multi-sector map of Vargr territory, showing its relationship to the Imperium and detailing some of the numerous governments. Sectors are named in Vargr, with Imperial names where applicable.
* ''And a Puzzle:'' A Vargr myth holds the key to the whereabouts of a lost fortune. There is one minor problem standing in the way: the story has never been translated. The complete [[Arrghoun]] text is included, as well as a glossary and grammar for that language. the players must translate and interpret the document in order to solve the puzzle (an annotated translation is included for the benefit of those referees who are not fluent in Arrghoun). Only after that can the search begin in earnest. More than an intellectual puzzle, the adventure in this module is a rousing good time for all concerned.

== Meta-history & Background ([[Dossier]]) ==
''Vargr (Alien Module)'' is the third in the series of ''Alien Modules'' for ''Classic Traveller'' looks at the [[Vargr]], acknowledged as a [[Major Race]] but unique in that select group in that they appear to have been the result of an experiment in [[Genetic Engineering|artificial evolution]] rather than the product of natural selection.
