Some space stations I made for Mothership, using the pound of flesh generator. Honestly a really good system for building a skeleton and filling it with your own ideas (read pound of flesh right now you cowards. Yandee my beloved.)
Asteroid Ore refining facility
with an abundance of recreational drugs
Derga's Revenge is a Former Palatial Estate Station orbiting a planet still being terraformed.
It's run by a reclusive intellectual backed by the Valecore Mining Consortium.
Docking costs 700cr, and a cheap room is 80cr a night. 5% chance the station is currently undergoing a
hostage situation(9000cr ransom).
Constructed on an asteriod surface. Non-standard day&night cycle. Long day for crops.
1. Fuel Bays/Warp Cores
2. Volatile Elements Refinery
3. Red Light District
4. Huge Farming Unit
5. Fabric Loom
-The United Workers Union controls the majority of the station after ousting the monarchy.
The Union is zealously anarcho-communist and will not hesitate to resort to violence.
Promotion of individual freedom; Tons of recreational drugs.
ARTISAN DRUG PRODUCERS.
Red&Violet banners.
= Currently interpolitically bickering over the price of bread.
= In the process of developing a mechanized army.
= Raising funds to purchase the entire planet below (but plan to invade it anyway).
= The Drug artisans always have work for you. Deliving/Acquiring
-Hosts a group of migratory pseudo-religious loom culture.
They devote themselves to clothing(and feeding) the poor and raise funds by selling cloth.
=============================================================================================
Equipment manufactoring
Android labourers
Situated on a disputed border territory. Independent Colony.
Outpost 32-P-8 (The Halo)
Controlled by Salo-Mercury Biomotors Inc.
Rivals to the Synthetic Liberation Front(Led by an intelligent merc captian).
20% Chance the station is dealing with a disaster. Rouge android violence.
Torus 2 rings. Low security.
1. Bathhouse and Capsule Motel
2. The Public Commons
3. Assembly Line
The station produces the majority of androids in this remote part of space.
This part of system is still developing, and lots of cheap labour is needed.
A Chapter of the Synthetic Liberation Front has a problem with that.
The Bathhouse is the most luxurious landmark(for common people) in this part of the system.
The ring is a comfortable 0.6g. Showers and baths function as normal.
Offer luxurious baths and sketchy recreation.
The public commons is where all cooking must go on.
The station was built around now-defunct centralized protien nozzles. Rooms don't have kitchens
So basically the commons is a guerilla kitchen. Frequented by nomadic food stands.
A common place for group meetigs. Alcohol and food. Easy to find business here.
A collection of buildings and courtyards. Patio season baybeeeee
The Assembly line produces lots of androids and some heavy equipment.
Outdated technology. Well used. The androids are rugged and utilitarian.
Very high temperatures.
= 20% Chance that the Synthetic Liberation Front has uploaded a virus onto the main computer.
The androids become efficient pack hunters, killing any human on sight. I:90 C:60+#androids.
The androids will attempt to construct a rudimentary AI by stringing together logic cores.

I wrote a whole bunch of stuff for a game that died in my arms and I'm very sad about it.

Lycanthropy
Lycanthropy toolkit (Very sloppy and untested but I'd rather leave it here than on my hard drive)
When a player gets cursed/bitten/infected, a mark is burned into them. Sometimes its physical, sometimes its an image in the back of their mind. But it’s always searing. The beast they become are frightening. Imbued with great strength, endurance, and agility. In this form they are to be permanently marked (mark never drops below 1).
The mark of the beast grows larger by 1d3 every time they
-Go hungry for a day
-Sleep in the cold
-Witness viscera
-Take a life
-Eat raw meat
-Feel the gleam of a full moon in their eye
-Get lost in the darkness
-See through the illusion of civilization
-Struggle with every essence of their being to scratch and claw at survival until they’re raw and exhausted and cannot breathe
Can be lowered by experiencing the opposite.
In distress, roll
2d10 against their mark number to see if they resist the transformation. Rolling over is failure. If the mark ever grows to 20, they’re lost forever to
the beast. Roll a new character.
