Promotions Table
Referee's Note - To account for different game and dice systems, a fairly abstract promotions system is provided here.
It involves adding a character's Intelligence, Leadership, and either Ship Tactics (O6 or below) or Fleet Tactics (O7 and above) ratings, and rolling against the result.
- Outstanding Success is 1/4 or less of the number arrived at above
- High Success is 1/2 or less of the number above.
- Success is less than the number arrived at above
- Failureis greater than the number arrived at.
Note that the number will change as the officer gets additional Ship/Fleet Tactics and Leadership skill levels through his/her career.
Applying Die Results - Results are given in terms of "Grades" (Rows on the chart) and "Tracks" (Columns on the chart). For example, an O2 Non-Command Lieutenant who rolled High Success would get a result of "Up 1 Grade/Left 1 Track". That means he/she would be promoted to O3, and moved to the Executive Officer track.
Going "Off The Chart" - When a character is in the "Command Billet" rank column (commanding ships), and they get a further "Left 1 Track" result, it will take an additional "Right 1" track to move him/her onto the "Adjutant" track; once one is esconced in command, it's harder to get out.
However, once one is on the "Staff" (rightmost) track, all future promotions will be on the Staff track.
| Character Is... | Roll vs. Leaderhip + Intelligence +... | Outstanding Success | High Success | Success | Failure | Notes | |
| O10 | ...Fleet Tactics | Grade Up 1/Track Left 1 | Grade/Track Unchanged | Retirement | Retirement | If in a Staff Billet, "Fail" = Retirement | |
| O9 | ...Fleet Tactics | Grade Up 1/Track Left 1 | Grade Up 1/Track NA | Retirement | Retirement | If in a Staff Billet, "Fail" = Retirement | |
| O8 | ...Fleet Tactics | Grade Up 1/Track Left 1 | Grade Up 1/Track NA | Grade Up 1/Track Right 1 | Retirement | If in a Staff Billet, "Fail" = Retirement | |
| O7 | ...Fleet Tactics | Grade Up 1/Track Left 1 | Grade Up 1/Track NA | Grade Up 1/Track Right 1 | Grade Up 0/Track Right 1 | If in a Staff Billet, "Fail" = Retirement | |
| O6 | ...Fleet Tactics | Grade Up 1/Track Left 1 | Grade Up 1/Track NA | Grade Up 1/Track Right 1 | Grade Up 0/Track Right 1 | If in a Staff Billet, "Fail" = Retirement | |
| O5 | ...Ship Tactics | Grade Up 1/Track Left 1 | Grade Up 1/Track Left 1 | Grade Up 1/Track Right 1 | Grade Up 0/Track Right 1 | - | |
| O4 | ...Ship Tactics | Grade Up 1/Track Left 1 | Grade Up 1/Track Left 1 | Grade Up 1/Track Left 1 | Grade Up 0/Track Right 1 | - | |
| O3 | ...Ship Tactics | Grade Up 2/Track Left 1 | Grade Up 1/Track Left 1 | Grade Up 1/Track Left NA | Grade Up 0/Track Right 1 | ||
| O2 | ...Ship Tactics | Grade Up 2/Track Left 1 | Grade Up 1/Track Left 1 | Grade Up 1/Track NA | Grade Up 1/Track Right 1 | - | |
| O1 | ...Ship Tactics | Grade Up 2/Track NA | Grade Up 1/Track NA | Grade Up 1/Track NA | Track - Warrant Officer | - |
Example
An officer leaves the Academy at age 21 with (Classic Traveller) Intelligence of 7, Leadership 1, Ship Tactics 0 = Total 8 and a rank of O1 (Ensign). During his term, he acquires extra levels of Leadership and Ship Tactics, raising his score to 10.
After his first term, he rolls a "7 - which is "Success". His grade becomes "O2", and his column doesn't change. He's a "Sub-Lieutenant" in a shipboard, non-command billet.
During his second term, he acquires two more points of Ship Tactics, raising his total score to "12". He rolls a "5", which is "High Success"; his grade moves up 1, his track moves left. He's now an "O3" in the "Adjustant Billet" column - a First Lieutenant on a sloop or small auxiliary (referee's discretion).
During his third term, he acquires another level of Leadership, raising his total score to a "13". He rolls for promotion, and gets an "8" - "Success", which yields "Grade Up 1/Track NA". He is promoted to O4, and remains in the Adjutant Billet column; he's the First Lieutenant on a Destroyer, Corvette or small auxiliary.
During his fourth term, he gets two levels of leadership, raising his total to a "15". He rolls for promotion, rolling a "3" - "Outstanding Success", resulting in "Grade Up 1/Track Left 1". He's now an "O5", "Corvette Captain", commanding a Destroyer, system defense Corvette or a mid-sized auxiliary.
In his fifth term, he gets two levels of Ship Tactics, raising him to a "17". He rolls a "10" - "Success". This yields "Grade Up 1/Track Right 1" - he's promoted to "O6", and moves a column to the right, the "Adjutant Billet" column; he's now the "First Lieutenant" on a Battleship or Carrier.
In his sixth term, the promotion number changes to Intelligence+Leadership+Fleet Tactics. His Intelligence is still 7, his Leadership is 5, and he's acquired one level of Fleet Tactics over his career, for a total of 13. He rolls a "7" - "Success". This becomes "Grade Up 1/Track Right 1"; he becomes an O7, and shifts a column to the right; since there are no shipboard non-command O7 ranks, he moves to the "Staff" column. He becomes the commander of an RCN Base.
For his seventh term, he rolls a "5", which is "High Success" - he moves up a grade to O8, and stays in the staff track. He's now "Chief of Station Staff" - the head staff officer for one of the navy's four stations.
For his eighth term, he rolls a "9" - "Success". He's promoted, but remains in the staff track; he's now chief of an RCN staff department
In Term 9, he rolls an "11" - "Success". This yields "Retirement". He retires at O9.
