(RPG PDF Spotlight) Vehicle Catalogue

Vehicle Catalogue

Traveller RPG Supplement by Mongoose Publishing

Welcome to the Vehicle Catalogue, featuring vehicles from across the Universe!

Travellers move between worlds with spaceships, but once they arrive, they rarely move across a world’s surface, skies, and seas using the same vessels designed to travel to the stars and to other worlds. Whether you find yourself on a primitive world where muscle and wind provide a vehicle’s power, or on an advanced world with teeming megacities up in the sky and beneath the waves, you will find a need to use some sort of vehicle to move from one place of adventure to another.

The vehicles in this catalogue are mostly vehicles a Traveller may use or encounter on while on a world or vehicles from various Charted Space civilisations that they might encounter. These include:

Personal Vehicles: These might be are owned or operated by Travellers, and range from cheap mass-produced vehicles to those affordable only to the super-rich. Their distinguishing feature is that they are intended for the transportation of their owner and not for commercial or military operation, though their owner might have differing uses in mind.

Commercial Vehicles: These are designed for commercial use and will usually be owned by governments, corporations or other organisations. Among these vehicles are mass transit, construction, and service vehicles. Their intended design is to generate revenue or to achieve some function of an organisation, but this does not mean that they may not be repurposed for personal or military activities.

Military Vehicles: These are intended for warfare and defence. Usually they are owned and operated by a government authority. They may also find their way into paramilitary, corporate, or even private use, but this usually involves extensive paperwork, corruption, or general government disorganisation.

Vehicles of the Major Races and Human Civilisations of Charted Space: Ranging from enigmatic Droyne machines to Zhodani military transports, certain vehicles are generally encountered in association with the their parent civilisation, but sometimes these vehicles might be found far from their point of origin or operated by Travellers or others who have acquired these craft by various means.

All of these vehicles were created using the Vehicle Handbook Update 2026 construction rules. Some of these vehicles are reimagined versions of vehicles created using earlier rules, but many are completely new designs. The 100+ vehicles in this book are only a small fraction of the vehicles of the universe, but this catalogue can be used as inspiration for creating designs and variations for use in any Universe.

Vehicle Catalogue is available through DriveThruRPG in PDF.
