[[Mongoose Traveller: Core Rulebook]] is primary set of rules for [[Mongoose Traveller]] 1st edition rules. 
 
Based on the Classic Traveller rules set, this book has been streamlined for modern roleplaying, and yet still retains that unmistakable Traveller aura. With complete rules for character and world creation, spaceships, encounters and trading, it is your gateway into new universes.

The Traveller Main Rulebook is the cornerstone of all your Traveller games, to be expanded upon with core supplements such as Mercenary and High Guard, or used with different settings like Starship Troopers, Judge Dredd and, of course, the [[Original Traveller Universe]].

Written by [[Gareth Hanrahan]], the Traveller Main Rulebook contains many things fans of the classic game will find familiar, but always with a new twist
