Much more than a simple 'dungeon crawl', 'Scout Cruiser' centers on the 1000 ton Type-SC 'Henry Hudson', as it begins its months-long trek through two dangerous (often deadly), sparsely populated subsectors in the Rift region of Ley Sector. The ship design and background is solid; intriguing plots and subplots abound, and a full cast of plausible NPCs complete the adventure. With its focus primarily on exploration, search and rescue this is a refreshing change from the typical commercial or military themed Traveller adventure.
A 'must' for Scout characters; if you liked GDW's 'Leviathan', you will love 'Scout Cruiser'.
