GURPS Traveller: Ground Forces is a GURPS Traveller background book.
- When human worlds are threatened, people depend on the Imperial Marines and the Unified Armies -- the Ground Forces. They are the only soldiers most citizens ever see. People may follow orbiting battleships as bright "stars" in the sky, but for the average man it is the Marine in battledress and the imposing bulk of an Army grav tank that embody the Imperium.
Description (Specifications)
Countless Worlds. A few good troops. Holding together an Imperium requires the services of an iron elite, marines willing to jump from a starship and into the teeth of a planetary defines net, Army troopers willing to travel the universe one slit trench at a time, armor commanders willing to bet their lives that they can get there first with the most.
