Traveller has long suffered from many gaps with Referees having to make do and create their own workarounds. One of those gaps is what is the future's equivalent of the Coast Guard. Part of you, might think the Scouts whereas, others, say Navy and still others COACC. But, as everything does revolve essentially around a profit, why not the business of saving lives?
In steps Terra-Sol Games with an excellent Six Guns Supplement that highlights different rescue organizations of the Twilight Sector (although, these can easily be adapted to any Traveller milieux). Some gear is thrown in for good measure. And, the Chargen for a typical rescue organization.
Lastly, TSG was good enough to throw in some details of their FTL system. While this is specific to their variant, still gives some thoughts for Referees who might be toying with leaving the OTU or at least expanding experimental technologies available to the OTU.
