Wherein your humble scribe presents stats in Cepheus Universal (which isn’t Classic Traveller, but is close enough for a BBC budget) for some universally cherished characters.

With the fresh news that the beloved Blake’s 7 is up for a modern retelling, I have finally given in and written up the protagonists of august journey into the heights of BBC sci-fi television (and, yes, the lows of BBC sci-fi television piggy banks).

The characters presented here are humble, representing their first appearance within the show. This being Traveller Cepheus, the characters are pretty loose and pretty squishy. They’ll get stronger, but only so much.

I’ve left off money & possessions since, for the original six at least, they essentially have nothing but the clothes on their backs when we meet them. Once the action gets underway, though, one can pretty well assume they’re all kitted out with weapons and vacc suits and all of that other goodness.

So, without further ado, here they are. Other interpretations and different approaches are certainly possible. These are merely mine.
