MegaTraveller 1: The Zhodani Conspiracy Overview
MegaTraveller 1: The Zhodani Conspiracy is a role-playing game derived from a table-top science-fiction system. The central objective involves thwarting a conspiracy where Zhodani officials have bribed Imperium counterparts to instigate a war between their two factions.
Players manage a squad of five characters. These can be built from the ground up by selecting from five military careers, which semi-randomly grant skills from a pool of over seventy talents and abilities. Alternatively, a pre-defined roster allows for immediate squad composition without the character creation process.
The setting encompasses eight solar systems containing a total of twenty-eight planets, described as being dense with adventure and mystery. Gameplay includes interplanetary travel where thirty distinct types of cargo can be traded. Combat occurs in real time, with direct control of one character possible while issuing orders to the rest of the team.
