This is a running commentary of a campaign in progress. It is based (loosly) on the universe published by GDW's classic Traveller game, converted to the Hero system. The basic characteristic maxima were changed, as well as the base values for certain stats. It works out that being human costs 6 points, but you get BODY 8 (max 18), and SPD 3 (max 5). Other races, different trade-offs. Other things were tweaked and changed to better fit my ideas of how the campaign should be run.
