[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 9081848, member: 6779310"] For Traveller, ... the busybody dukes... landed dukes are always trying to rope in reward nobles for various deniable actions just outside the borders of the 3I Scout/Marine "sibling rivalry" - often expressed as barroom brawls. But when the chips are down, for the good of the Imperium, they'll be defending each other from any outsider threat... NCO promotion almost automatic. RSM and RQMS are usually 7 terms done... and NPCs... Mess with them at your peril. Officers need not be college grads... Aliens don't draw much more attention than oddly dressed humans except on backwater worlds. Gunnery Sergeant is a posting, not a rank (Yes, I know that contracdicts CT B4, MT expanded Char gen, T:TNE, and T4... Until MT released, I used the US Civil War and Indian Wars era stripes for my CT games, rather than the Bk4 "not quite US" ones. My group's homebrew still uses Civil War type stripes. Grades Recruit, Private, Lance Corporal, Corporal, Sergeant, Staff Sergeant, Master Sergeant. Co 1 Sgt get a "football" (two arcs ending at their intersections, Bn 1Sgt get a 3 point star, RSM a 4 point star, BSM a 5 point star, DSM a 6 point star... Bote that Staff get a 4th stripe, and Master get the lines between their stripes removed to make one wide stripe. 1Sgt ranks are Staff Sergeant appointments, and Sergeant Major stripes are all Master Sergeants. For Tunnels and Trolls, well, most NPC wizards are madmen. And Trolls usually don't give a «bleep» about much of anything that doesn't disturb feeding and napping... [/QUOTE]
