One of the most flexible vessels in the Traveller universe, the Modular Cutter is designed to port 30-ton cargo modules and is analogous to a space semitrailer truck.
We have designed our Modular Cutter to be able to detach and replace the 30-ton cargo module just as it would in the Traveller universe.

The Modular Cutter’s Modules
We have three different 30-Ton Modules that can dock with the modular Cutter: the passenger module, the fuel module and the vehicle module. They originally featured as a stretch goals in our Traveller Small Craft Kickstarter in 2023. All can be used as a standalone set piece on your gaming table.
The Passenger Module is designed to transport passengers from orbit to a planet. It has two floors and the floors slides in and out separately. The Fuel Module is designed to transport fuel between planets and starships.The Vehicle Module is designed to transport a vehicle from orbit to a planet. Besides dock with Modular Cutter the module is designed to work with our Official Traveller G-Carrier.
The 50-Ton Modular Cutter as well as the three variant transport modules are fully released and printable. The Cutter has assembly instructions at the ready.
