Looking at the map, we go from Fureden (A55278B-7) to Quiri (E769688-3), then Atelles (D6A58CD-4) and finally Gadoilinia (E5235A6-6).
This is what the travellerrpg.com UWP decoder tells me (DM, please correct anything that is wrong):
Fureden -- A55278B-7 -- Po
There is an Excellent quality starport, with banking, refined fuel, maintenance, and a starship capable yard. Fureden is around 8,000 kilometers diameter. Fureden A thin atmosphere (0.25 to 0.75 barr) is present; the air is readily breathable. There is between 15% and 25% open water or ice on the surface. Total population is between 10,000,000 and 100,000,000. The locals have a civil service bureaucracy for a government. All weapons are prohibited. Civilian movement is rigidly controlled.
Quiri -- E769688-3 -- Ni Ri
There is a Frontier quality starport, with a place to trade. Quiri is around 11,200 kilometers diameter. Quiri A standard atmosphere (0.75 to 1.25 barr) is present; the air is readily breathable. There is between 85% and 95% open water or ice on the surface. Total population is between 1,000,000 and 10,000,000. The locals have a civil service bureaucracy for a government. No weapons may be openly carried, long bladed weapons restricted
Antelles -- D6A58CD-4 -- Fl
There is a Poor quality starport, with unrefined fuel, and a maintenance capable yard. Antelles is around 9,600 kilometers diameter. Antelles An exotic but harmless atmosphere is present. Life support is required, either an oxygen tank or PLSS. There is between 45% and 55% open water or ice on the surface. Total population is between 100,000,000 and 1,000,000,000. A charismatic oligarchy rules over the rest of the population. All weapons are prohibited. Civilian movement is rigidly controlled. Personal privacy does not exist. Police are paramilitary and frequently encountered.
Gaolinia -- E5235A6-6 -- Ni Po
There is a Frontier quality starport, with a place to trade. Gaolinia is around 8,000 kilometers diameter. Gaolinia There is a very thin atmosphere with a taint; a compressing respirator/filter or PLSS is required. There is between 25% and 35% open water or ice on the surface. Total population is between 100,000 and 1,000,000. A charismatic dictator is in power, with popular support. All firearms except shotguns are prohibited..Seeking Cargo
The ship is a Free Trader (MGTv2 CRB pg. 168) has 82 tons of cargo and 10 standard and 20 low berth passengers.
I assume we start without a ships fund. I am willing to loan the ship 100K credits for the use of purchasing cargo. My suggestion is that 10% of the profits are distributed amongst those who invest (in proportion), and the rest (90%) of the profits go into the ships fund.
Fureden has the Poor (Po) trade quality.
Quiri has the Non-Industrial (Ni), Rich (Ri) Low Tech (Tech-3) trade qualities.
Antelles has the Fluid Oceans (Fl) trade qualities.
Gaolinia has the Non-Industrial (Ni) and Poor (Po) trade qualities.

I was wrong btw, I have Carouse 0. Still I think you will have a better change at it.
As for home planet. You can pick any planet you like, probably even outside the sector the GM has made available in the map thread (I did).
This does not give you any skills in MGTv2. Instead you get to pick background skills equal to your EDU DM +3, from the following list:

I am sure I took those background skills already.
I am not sure how to tell if the planet is habitable. I like the sound of Daninglory

@GM: I just found this errata.
And in direct contradiction to the CRB on page 16, it states that you do get to roll for advancement after a commission roll. How do you want to handle that?

If you gain a commission, you may not roll for advancement in the same term.

You always roll for advancement, whatever the outcome of a commission roll.

Hmm. Since fixing it would mean a major overhaul of characters, I think we'll just ignore it.

Can we try to reduce that list price by rolling for some quirks?
May 25, 2021 12:30 am
Yes, on the monthly payments, and if you all agree, you may roll on the Outdated Ships table (2D) to determine the age of your vessel, the discount, and the number of quirks she has.
May 25, 2021 7:34 am
I am always in favour of quirks
[ +- ] Ledger
100K (luctius) +10K (Machiabelly) +20K (StevetheNPC) = 130K funds available for the purchasing of cargo
Monthly Cost:
2 (StevetheNPC) +1 (Machiabelly) Ship Shares
(MCr45.342 - (3 Ship Shares = MCr3) ) / 240 = 176,425 + 3778 (Maintainance) + X (Running Costs)

Do we have enough people with streetwise or broker to check for cargo and passengers? If not can one person do both.

Speaking (or writing) of cargo transport:
Do we have any basic data about our ship?
Like cargo/passenger capacity, length, ...

Yes, the ship can hold 82 tons of cargo, 10 standard, and 20 low berth passengers. The ship is a 200-ton vessel, about 165 feet long and roughly 90 feet wide. It can make one Jump 1 before it needs to be refueled.
@machiabelly: I just noticed that Daninglory is a red world (that is to say, it is considered off-limits for some reason). That said, you can still be from that world, you just have to justify it. In this case, Daninglory is a developing world and the sector government wants a hands-off approach. It is possible that you were stranded on the world when your ship crashed there and you were recently rescued, or perhaps you were a native who managed to sneak off-world. I'll leave the details up to you.
Since I have heard no dissenting opinions, someone roll 2d to determine the ship's age and quirks.

Your ship is about 35 years old; you can reduce the mortgage by 25%. It has four quirks, but exactly what those quirks are, you'll have to discover (unless it is something obvious).

Ok, so we'll take 10 high passengers, I'm unsure about taking low passengers, since we need medic for that, I don't know who has the highest of that.
I was hoping for some lucrative speculative trade; but from what I can see; the best we can do from Fureden to Quiri is a +3 on sale DM. Not sure if that is worth it. The whole chain seems rather poor for lucrative trade though. We can check if we can find a good deal though.

So If I read that right we can take 8 lots of major cargo (80 tons) and two lots of incidental cargo with us, right?
And we can take up to 10 high/standard passengers and 20 low berth passengers with us additionally.
I don't have Medic but I have Steward 0 btw

I have medic 1. And a medikit.
Should we check for mail? Any extra cash is good.
I will add a roll in the thread.
I have a question...when we go in the draft, is that a huge multi-universe space force, or is it assumed to be a local armed force.
