This will be a heresy both to Classic Traveller and B/X fans, but bear with me for a little while because it's just a fun reskin.
STEP 1. Roll a character using Classic Traveller Character generator as written.
STEP 2. Convert the characteristics of the rolled character to B/X in a straightforward manner:
STR > STR +2
INT > INT +2
WIS > EDU +2
DEX > DEX +2
CON > END +2
CHR > SOC +2
The rolled skill levels become old-school Saving Throws Modifiers, to be used only in tight spots, after a string of bad decisions or really unfortunate outcomes. They are rolled when there is something critical on the line and everything is SNAFU. The base saving throw for an unskilled character is 10 (pure luck). Example: a Pilot-2 rolls against a Piloting Saving Throw of 8 in tight spots (10-2). Ignore other B/X saving throws except against spells (becomes against psionics). Psionic characters use the spells from B/X.
STEP 3. Pick a Classic Traveller B/X class from those available depending on the character's Service branch. The name of the class becomes Service + Chosen Class, i.e, you can be an Army Cleric, a Marines Psionic Soldier, a Merchant Trader, a Civilian Rogue, etc. Psionic classes have INT requirements.
Navy: Fighter, Cleric, Psionic (INT 10+), Psionic soldier (INT 13+)
Marines: Fighter, Cleric, Psionic (INT 10+), Psionic soldier (INT 13+)
Army: Fighter, Cleric, Psionic (INT 10+), Psionic soldier (INT 13+)
Scouts: Explorer
Merchants: Trader, Rogue, Psionic (INT 10+)
Civilians (other): Rogue, Cleric, Psionic (INT 10+)
STEP 2. Convert the characteristics of the rolled character to B/X in a straightforward manner:
STR > STR +2
INT > INT +2
WIS > EDU +2
DEX > DEX +2
CON > END +2
CHR > SOC +2

To convert the character level and HPs use the formula terms served = level, or adjust to your adventure.
