Quick Reference Traveller to Star Wars d6 Stat Conversion

With my Star Wars d6 campaign going strong, I'm definitely delving into the Challenge Challenge for material. While there is plenty of Star Wars material, the "neutral" status of the party opens up so many more options, and with a plethora of Traveller material in Challenge (plus the obvious 24 issues it was exclusively The Journal of the Travellers Aid Society), it's a no-brainer to mine those for average blokes of the Galactic Empire.

That being said, I was a bit surprised the lack of conversion material. I did find one conversion document, and I'm porting over the bare minimum to translate from Traveller NPCs to d6. It's not my document and it doesn't look perfect, but it's workable. Feel free to scour the internet yourself for weapons, equipment, and starship conversions.

Traveller’s traditional stat block runs Strength - Dexterity - Endurance - Intelligence - Education - Social Status. Not a perfect one-for-one reference, but something I can work with.

Traveller's Hexidecimal Attributes Converted to d6
1 = "+1"
2 = "+2"
3 = "1d"
4 = "1d+1"
5 = "1d+2"
6 = "2d"
7 = "2d+1"
8 = "2d+2"
9 = "3d"
A = "3d+1"
B = "3d+2"
C = "4d"
D = "4d+2"
E = "5d"

Skills
Skills in Traveller aren't as plentiful versus Star Wars.

Original Traveller skills: +1d for every skill point.

Megatraveller and Beyond: +2 pips for every skill point
