Low-Tech Background Package

Quote: "The Low-Tech package is available to any Traveller who grew up in a TL3 or lower society. This could be a frontier or backwater area of a more developed world if the Traveller belonged to a minority group. Low-Tech citizens are not necessarily barbarians, though many offworlders might call them that. Note that hailing from a Low-Tech background does not necessarily translate to total ignorance of technological items, and Travellers may have seen and know how to operate equipment not readily available in their society. Low-Tech Travellers are unlikely to receive an education into the complex mysteries of the universe, but are in general tougher and more resilient than those raised in a ‘softer’ environment."
