I created this as a prompt for a small one-on-one adventure for Traveller. A very simple adventure where the player found a gig where she was tasked to go scoop hydrogen from a gas giant.

This was also my first attempt at drawing a ship.

Might as well cross-post this here.

Back to the map: I created it over a year ago, but hadn't shared it on Lemmy. As with many Traveller maps, a square is meant to be 1.5m (close to the 5ft used in most fantasy genres).

This space station design was commissioned, to the lowest bidder, by a local planetary government much to the horror of the IISS. And it shows that is was done on a budget. Sure, the comms are prefectly suited for a relay station, but it often feels like a death-trap. Just ask any of the employees.

Made up of four general-purpose modules glued together, and then fitted to accomplish it's purpose, any outsider would think everything should work fine. However, many bottom-credit decisions were made and it might be just a matter of time until something goes wrong.

For instance, the original design had a fourth spoke for an additional docking module, but it was scraped from the implementation and now this station only has a single docking port, usually occupied by the emergency escape pod. Mind you, the pod can seat 2 sophonts and the station has 4 or 5 regular employees (though it can house up to eight at a time), so any real emergency would lead to drawing straws.

The escape pod itself is also bare-minimum, with only a 1G M-drive (and no J-drive). The two lucky survivors would arrive at the closest port after 4.5 days (just as much as the pod's life-support will last autonomously).

If that's not enough to label it a death trap, just consider that most of the life support systems are phisically located in the station's center module, but only the docking module could be properly isolated in case of a hull breach.

In case you don't know yet, Bundle of Holding has a few SciFi bundles going on..

I made this map a while back, for a Traveller game we were playing.

It's Thamber, in the Solomanin Rim sector, Ultima subsector. There's no canonical system defined AFAIK, so I used https://www.travellerworlds.com/ to generate a new star system. Then drew the info onto Campaign Cartographer 3+.
