So last night I rolled up a couple of quick Classic Traveller characters using my copy of The Traveller Book. It was pleasantly fast, only about half an hour or so for two characters. My only complaint is how unforgiving the re-enlistment rolls are in CT. I rather like how Mongoose Traveller pulls re-enlistment in to promotion, as it gives the player more decisions to make.Here is who I rolled up:
Major Arne Hilton 787AA6, 2 Terms Army, Rifle-1, SMG-1 Grav Vehicle-1, Electronics-1, Tactics-1, CR 50000
Commander Baroness Marian Burch 4759AC 5 Terms Navy, Foil-1, Administration-2, Computer-2, Engineering-1, Vacc Suit-1, Pilot-1, Gunnery-1, CR 26000, Foil, 2 High Passage, Pension Cr4000
Got any ideas on how to flesh them out? They may still be useful as NPC's in any Traveller edition.
Below the fold are the die rolls for generation.
UPDATE: My read on the Major, as well.

Arne joined his homeworld's army as it was in the midst of a large scale expansion. He quickly tested into the Officer Corps, and was assigned to lead a electronic warfare platoon. They took heavy losses, but managed to succeed in distracting the enemy from a crucial artillery position, earning him a prompt promotion to Captain.
His next term saw him learning the art of war , and was promoted to Major. Unfortunately, the army didn't need his services anymore, leading to his discharge.
Description: A man of average build, but displaying an unusual spark of intelligence in his face, Arne Hilton can also give the impression he lost out on his career early.
