In this episode of Signals from the Core, we dive into what makes player characters in the Core Sector different from the usual Travellers on the fringes of space. From ambitious nobles and burned agents to psionic exiles, scholars, and streetwise fixers, we explore the backgrounds, skills, and archetypes best suited to survive in the Imperium’s most dangerous halls of power. You’ll also meet Baron Laird Tenpenny, a patron with plenty of ambition—and a list of jobs that could make your Travellers rich, well-connected... or wishing they never met.
