Features

Character generation

• Full career system with terms, aging, advancement, and muster-out benefits
• Career planning mode: pin a sequence of careers before rolling
• Psionics (off by default; configurable)
• Personality generation (optional)
• Reproducible results via hex seeds — share or bookmark a character exactly
• Build transcript: every career event, skill gain, and benefit roll logged

Interactive character sheet

• Click any skill or attribute to roll a Mongoose Traveller task check (2d6 + skill + characteristic DM); unskilled rolls apply −3 DM automatically
• Weapon attack rolls with damage display
• Default characteristic per skill follows RAW (e.g. Pilot → Dex, Persuade → Soc)

Health tracker

• Track Str/Dex/End damage across a session
• Damage applied to Endurance first per RAW; remaining to Str/Dex at player choice
• Stat boxes colour amber (wounded) or red (zero)

Spacecraft

• Characters who receive a ship benefit display spacecraft details (type, tonnage, mortgage, status)

Other generators

• UPP generator
• Animal encounter generator (terrain, order, behaviour, sentience)
• Generic dice roller (any expression, e.g. 3d6, 2d6+3)

Expansion careers (optional, enable per-character)

• Chthonian Stars (with ethnicity support)
• Dilettante, Agent, Scoundrel, Psion

Save and load

• Download a character as a Markdown file
• Upload a .md file to reload the character by seed
• Shareable URL per character/tool/seed
