[gurps] Starship Troopers, Ch. 2-5

[Onno Meyer]

The next four chapters contained character development (i.e. 
propaganda). One interesting bit is the oath, with the language
about non-humans in the chain of command below but apparently
not above a human private - are those K-9 canines or aliens?

* Sentries get H-bombs, and that predates the bug war.

> * The suits have "jump jets". They are sufficient to start a jump
>  from empty air, i.e. to fly for a short time.
> * They have sufficient power for two suits to carry a third.
> * It is implied that even full power does not allow sustained flight.
>  How that meshes with the previous point remains to be seen.
> * A trooper carries several hundred pounds of ordnance, including
>  up to four kiloton-range missiles and an "Y-Rack" grenade
>  launcher. The flamer is only a sidearm.
> * Suits have radiation shielding, unless that is "duck and cover"
>  propaganda.
