The Draft has two basic definitions:
1) A character option in multiple versions of Traveller that allow a last-ditch attempt at a "career", outside of becoming a drifter.[1][2]
2) The in-universe Draft, or any minor Draft[3]
Draft Results
Draftees tend to be filtered (randomly) into one of six military careers:
| Roll | Occupation |
|---|---|
| 1 | Navy (any) |
| 2 | Army (any) |
| 3 | Marine (any) |
| 4 | Merchant (merchant marine) |
| 5 | Scout (any) |
| 6 | Agent (law enforcement) |
Other Drafts
Vargr
In the Vargr Extents, the Draft results are quite different.[4] Armies are always looking for new recruits, while merchant marines have been swallowed up by the Navy and other, less reputable occupations.[5]
| Roll | Occupation |
|---|---|
| 1-3 | Army (any) |
| 4 | Marine |
| 5 | Navy (any) |
| 6 | Agent (law enforcement) |
Notes
It is stated in Classic and Mongoose 2e that characters may typically only enter the Draft once in their lifetime unless otherwise stated.
