In which book or supplement and in which variation of Traveller [MT? TNE? T4?] was this career first introduced? Can anyone direct me to the generation tables?
Having seen some characters which were created by this system, IMNSHO, the characters seem a bit out of balance and tend to be "super" characters but that is just based on seeing the finished result and not the generation tables, the requirements to enlist, or the survival rate.
Are there other more reasonable generation systems for spies. ["intelligence officers" if that is more pleasing] [I liked the halfhearted attempt that Rebellion Sourcebook made at flashing out the intelligence services of the various factions but it didn't go quite far enough. OTOH, it was vague enough for various refs to incorporate with out disrupting individual game quirks.]
