I picked up the Mongoose Traveller corebook sometime ago and have most of the supplemental as .pdfs. My gaming table and I have had some fun rolling up characters, even if they somehow manage to make EVERY roll and have enough money to retire even before play starts. But I digress, I need some assistance. I cannot comprehend how this game is supposed to actually work. I get the mechanics just fine, although the rules for space combat are spread so thin through the rulebook you could see through them. Where I get hung up is writing a game session in this system. Are there any Traveller players or GMs around that could give me a crash course in GMing this?

For example, I'd like to start a campaign with the players salvaging a derelict spacecraft and then turning them loose to explore the system, maybe find some work, and jump out. But find the book sorely lacking in ways to build NPCs, etc.
