From the introduction:
As technology increases, more and more work can be done by machines, giving intelligent creatures - sophonts - cheaper goods and more leisure time. But machines reach their highest potential only when they are finally able to think for themselves, as well as move about and manipulate their environment.
Robots are the machines with these capabilities.
This supplement for MegaTraveller enables referees and players to confidently integrate robots into MegaTraveller campaigns.
The MegaTraveller Referee's Companion addresses the role of robots in the MegaTraveller universe, the history, types and uses of robots in Imperial space, and robot manufacturers. It is recommended reading for Referees and Players who want to deal with robots in the Shattered Imperium.
This supplement includes a robot design system that extends the MegaTraveller Craft Design Sequence for robots, and rules as to how to include Robots in your game.
