OSR Review & Commentary On Moon Toad Publishing's Ship Book: Chiron Class Hunter For Mongoose Traveller But With A Twist With The Clement Sector rpg

 "Ship Book:  Chiron Class Hunter  is a supplement to the Mongoose Traveller system which details a 100-ton hunter vessel. Originally conceived as a unique vessel for a bounty hunter, the class has made its mark in all sectors as a production model and in the navy." 

"The Chiron class, with its capable computers, powerful engines and high tech equipment, makes a perfect player vessel for those with large bank accounts and wide aims."



"This ship book also details many of the past events involving the Chiron class and the fates of many of the vessels. Filled with plot hooks, background events and owner descriptions, this book is also ideal for any Referee needing ideas." 

Features:

  • Stats and information for Mongoose Traveler. 
  • Full game stats for the Chiron class and three full variants, as well as a new vehicle.
  • Deckplans for the ship.
  • A full history and background of the class, from design to destruction.
  • Three adventure hooks to get your players involved with the clas

So I've been looking for a solid bounty hunting craft for our Cepheus Engine Clement Sector game. And looking deeply into Moon Toad's catalog I came across this version of  the classic Type SN Hunter Scout variant, Ship Book:  Chiron Class Hunter. 
So what the Hell is so good about it?! Well first of all it's Moon Toad Pubishing and the guys over there usually do a solid job of bringing these classic interstellar craft to life. And why is this one important?! There are a few reasons right off the bat.  One  Ship Book:  Chiron Class Hunter. has all of the classic deckplans & illustrations right out of the product. Plus variations of this venerable class of bounty hunting starship. And it's a perfect starship to add into the Clement Sector! This starship  class fits right into the frontier feel of Manhunters: Bounty Hunters in Clement Sector Third Edition
This is because of the fact that the  Chiron Class Hunter is easy to manufacture, cheap to produce, and easy for PC's to customize. This makes the  Chiron Class Hunter desirable in the Clement sector. And these ships get a workout out on the Clement frontier. 
This is because of the fact that the Chiron design has the advantage of being able to go for long periods of time into the Black. And because of thier role as a bounty hunter ship they are able to go into situations where larger ships fear to tread. 
And this is tandamount to the roles that the Chiron can play from industrial spy to bountyhunting roles this is a class that has all of the advantages for the party looking to pick up some extra jobs inbetween adventuring in the black of the Clement Sector. This is something we see in the fact that criminals can buy the Chiron through dummy corporations and put it to good use in roles it was meant for.
