# Traveller Book 4: Mercenary

Traveller Book 4: Mercenary is a supplement published by Game Designers' Workshop in 1978 for the science fiction role-playing game Traveller .

## Contents

Mercenary is the fourth Traveller book, intended to be a supplement to the three volumes of the original game. This volume covers how to create a mercenary character for a Traveller campaign, and how the player can try to have the mercenary recruited. The book also updates the Traveller weapons and combat system.

## Reception

In the March-April 1979 edition of The Space Gamer (Issue No. 22) Tony Watson recommended Mercenary, saying, "Over all, Mercenary is a good effort, worthy of the game it supplements. Players and referees who have an inclination towards the more martial aspect of the game should be sure and include the book into their campaigns."
In the June 1979 edition of Dragon (Issue 26), Mark Day found the physical quality and layout to be excellent, but questioned why mercenaries could only come from Army or Marines rather than Navy and Scouts. He also questioned why huge plasma rifles were offered in the weapons update, but not simple laser pistols.
In the August-September 1979 edition of White Dwarf (Issue 14), Don Turnbull gave Mercenary 9 out of 10, saying, "If you are into Traveller, this will be a welcome extension to the rules and will add to the already wide scope of them."
In the May-June 1980 edition of The Space Gamer (Issue No. 28) Forrest Johnson recommended Mercenary, saying, "If you would like to spend an evening rolling up some rather interesting characters, you will like this book."
In his 1990 book The Complete Guide to Role-Playing Games, game critic Rick Swan called this one of the best Traveller expansions, and recommended it.
James Maliszewski for Black Gate in 2014 said "Mercenary changed the way we played Traveller forever. Previously, Merchants, Scouts, and Navy personnel were favored, because these careers were all space-based and thus what we considered to be the stuff of sci-fi. But Mercenary-generated characters were so much better than those generated using the original system. They had more (and better) skills, as well as lots of fun perks like advanced training and commendations."

# Evolution (Mondrian)

Evolution is an early painting by the Dutch artist Piet Mondrian. It was executed in 1911, after the artist had visited Paris. The painting represents a mid-point in Mondrian's journey from realistic landscapes to radical abstraction. Symbolic in form and with stylised lines, it was Mondrian's last painting where he painted a human form. Soon after Mondrian completed the painting, it was exhibited as part of the first Moderne Kunstring (Modern Art Circle) exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
The artwork is part of the collection of the Kunstmuseum, The Hague. It was loaned to the museum from 1955 to 1971 and was finally acquired by the museum in 1971, as part of a significant bequest from Sal Slijper.

## Condition of Painting

Evolution is in extremely fragile condition. Expert research has shown that the painting has been "seriously affected by zinc soap formation, which has resulted in paint delamination and paint loss, particularly in the cadmium yellow paint areas."
# Du'a karavi

Du‘ā' Karāwī is a religious ceremony in Nizari Isma'ilism during which the Isma'ili ask god for forgiveness through their Murshid, or, "Imam of the Time".
The Qur'an states that the Muslims must repent of their sins; it further stipulates that a believer (mu'min) must approach the presence of Muhammad and seek forgiveness, and that the Muhammad must also seek forgiveness on their behalf. This is expressed in several Qur'anic verses, including the following:
   We sent not a Messenger, but to be obeyed, in accordance with the will of Allah. If they had only, when they were unjust to their souls, come unto you [Muhammad] and asked God’s forgiveness, and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah indeed Oft-returning, Most Merciful. - Quran 4:64

Born in Bulawayo, Kennedy came to England to study at Camborne School of Mines.
