History & Background (Dossier)
There are many worlds within Charted Space, and each of the planets has unique societies and environments. Many times during a Traveller’s voyages it will be necessary to protect one’s body with armor or protective environment suits designed to allow survival under severe atmospheric conditions. [12]
There are a large variety of armor and protective suits available. The availability of this equipment is largely determined by the tech level of the world. On high tech level worlds, all types of equipment can be found. However, on low tech worlds, armor and protective suits can be very basic. Obsolete armour can usually be purchased for a bargain price on high tech level worlds. Likewise, advanced equipment can be sold for a profit on worlds with a low tech level. However, buying and selling is strongly affected by an adventurer’s communication, bartering, and negotiation skills. [13]
