Deciding to roll up some characters, and the first one I rolled had some amazing stats. Highlight being the education 12 / C. While I was going to try & get to the captains of the 4 ships, we will also need a lead scientist. And I continued my lucky rolls except for 1 aging roll in the 6th term. I did not muster him out as he was a professor at Montca University, teaching astro-physics and stellar system evolution. And yes, in Classic Traveller the scientist really does not get into that level of detail. But he did end up with Navigation and Computers so I figure he can create all sorts of interesting computer simulations. That is the best part about Classic Traveller: the skills are pretty broad so can be open to all sorts of interpretations. And easy to read between the lines on the various dice rolls.

Dr. Rylan Wylder, Professor of Astrophysics at Montca University and Lead Scientist of the Johon 3 Exploratory Expedition
87A8D8 Scientist, 6 Terms, age 42
Computer-2, Navigation-1, Jack of Trade-1, Medical-1, Carousing-1, Gravatics-1, Admin-1, Electronic-1, Survival-1, Leader-1
Raised on Montca, the only child of two scientists, Rylan was fully immersed in the scholastic world his whole life. A calm child without the brilliance of his parents, he still managed to get through college earlier than many of his peers through sheer dedication and continual parental pressure.
Continuing to teach, first as a teacher's assistant, then his own classes, Rylan continued to soak up knowledge and taught it to others.
Term 1 Deciding he liked space, he started to specialize in navigation but also picked up the ability to "Macgyver" things when he did not have everything he needed. He also started to work harder with computers, thinking that via various models he could learn more. Navigation, JoT, Computer
Term 2 Rylan took several first aid classes after his father took a fall, and Rylan and his mother helped the convalescing man back to health. These were also his party years - teaching his own class, yet still young enough to feel attuned to his students, Rylan perhaps did not always take teaching as seriously as he should have but nonetheless continued on at Montca University.Medical, Carousing
Term 3 Stellar evolution may have some impacts based on gravity, and Rylan studied gravatics as part of his thesis. He also picked up administration as he wended his ways through the doctorate program while teaching full time as well.Gravatics, Admin
Term 4 He sharpened his jack of trades by working harder in electronics, creating some of his own tools and scanning equipment. He started testing this in the mountains and picked up a backpacking hobby and learning to live off the land. He was becoming more focused as he got older. Electronics, Survival
Term 5 Taking grad students hiking, he picked up the leadership skill, and by more closely working with his students and more focused in general, he felt he was even getting a bit smarter. +1 Int, Leader
Term 6 Almost a decade of hiking took its toll on his knees, and Rylan decided to focus more on the lab. His computer skills grew and he gained several certifications in computer systems. His classes were well liked by the general student population, and it was around this time that Juila, a former student of his, reached out to see if he would like to be the chief scientist of the Johon Expedition, to prove some of hypothesis on system evolutions. Computer, +1 EDU
He will be on the main ship, in charge of all the other scientists that are going along. Eventually I'll have to have an org chart!
