Yet another Traveller NPC generator

This is a simple NPC generator for the Traveller RPG. It follows rules described in this article. I'll briefly describe the rules here.

Ability scores

Instead of randomly generating ability scores, this generator uses several standard arrays:

Citizen Category Average Score Characteristic Array
Below Average 6 8, 7, 6, 6, 5, 4
Average 7 9, 8, 7, 7, 6, 5
Above Average 8 10, 9, 8, 8, 7, 6
Exceptional 9 11, 10, 9, 9, 8, 7

Skills

According to the previous experience of the NPC, the generator will assign a number of skill points according to this table, "Average Skill Levels by Term":

Average Skill Levels by Experience
Experience Number of Skills by Skill Level
3 2 1 0
Recruit 0 0 0 4
Rookie 0 0 2 4
Intermediate 0 1 2 4
Regular 0 2 2 5
Veteran 0 3 2 5
Elite 1 2 3 6
