For morale checks, there are rules in Traveller Companion page 6 and 7. But you have to use a new characteristic...named Morale.
Yours are good also!

For reaction, I use below table, nearly the same as yours, do not remember from which version it comes from :

Reactions
2	Violent	Immediate attack
3	Hostile	Attack on 5+
4	Hostile	Attack on 8+
5	Hostile	May Attack
6	Unreceptive
7	Non-Committal
8	Interested
9	Intrigued
10	Responsive
11	Enthusiastic
12	Genuinely Friendly

Natural 2 or 12 : no DM
DM+1 if 5 terms in army, navy, marines, scouts
DM-1 if Pop 9 or more

Objet : [TML] Reaction Rolls and Morale for Mongoose Traveller 2nd ed.

I am prepping for a Pirates of Drinax campaign right now, and as the book for that is for Mongoose Traveller we are going to use that edition.

Anyway, I was going through the game when I realized it was missing reaction rolls and morale checks that I could find. These have become one of my favorite tools over the last few years, as they allow me to run NPCs that do not always react the way I would personally react.
So here is an attempt to make a new table, based on CT and Cepheus Deluxe.

Thoughts?

NPC Reaction Table
This table is to be used for meaningful encounters only. Most people encountered in daily live will ignore the PCs and be ignored. Sometimes they will acknowledge the other side briefly, but go back to ignoring them right after (e.g. a shop clerk taking their payment, a guard taking note of their presence).
This table is for those encounters where Travellers are brought into a an encounter situation that does not allow to go back to ignoring each other.

2d6 Reaction
1- Immediate Attack
2 Violent (immediate attack on successful morale check of 9+)
3-5 Unfriendly. Will do anything short of attacking.
6-8 Indifferent, largely uinterested in PCs
9-11 Friendly, will help
12 Helpful
13+ Enthusiastic friendship

DM +1 if character served in armed forces for 5+ terms DM -1 if world population is 9+ DM -1/-2 if biased (racially or otherwise) against characters Depending on environments mods can be used as DMs, e.g. EDU mod for academic setting, SOC for social setting Follow up checks also use the DMs above and should take into accounts measures to defuse situation.

Morale Table
This table is used to determine how a side in a fight keeps it together once casualties start.
2d6 Result
5 or less Break
6-8 Fighting Withdrawal
9-15 Keeps Fighting
16+ Fight to the Death

Calls for morale of one sides in a fight can be called by the referee:
when first death in fight happens
when 25% of one side is incapacitated (dead or otherwise out of fight) when 50% of one side is incapacitated (dead or otherwise out of fight) if changes in battle situation change outlook drastically (e.g. someone shoots a gun in a knife fight)

Dice modificators that can apply:
DM -2 if the 25% and 50% are reached in the same combat round DM -2 if leader dies (for 2 rounds, until new leader takes over) DM +1 if side is military/mercenary DM +1 if leader skill present

Optional: this rule can affect both NPCs and PC parties in a fight.
