Nimbus Station was boarded. The airlock was cut, not opened; the crew fought a retreat from the bridge aft and lost. The boarders took the cargo and the pods and left the station spinning. Whatever they were really after, they did not find it. Last log entry: Eng. Reyes. Hook: The crate is worth a hull and a half, and everyone who knew that is dead — nearly everyone.

Free, CC0. The .dd2vtt carries walls, doors and 2 lights, for Foundry, Roll20 and Owlbear Rodeo. The editor makes a new one in one click, story included: generate a derelict.
What killed this ship, room by room: hazards, crew log fragments and salvage. Players get the map, you get this.
Something moved in here — recently. Traffic control, customs, the only working coffee machine.
Something moved in here — recently. Three stations; one chair is bolted at a strange angle.
Hazard a boarder's breaching charge, unfired, taped to the console. Old, unstable, very much still a charge.
Log fragment (Cpt.) "Unregistered cutter on our port side. They are not answering. They are matching. Sound the alarm."
Vacuum. Suit up. Ladder down. Crates torn open from inside.
Log fragment (Deckhand) "They knew which crate. They went straight to it. It wasn't there. Petrov moved it a week ago and never said where."
Vacuum. Suit up. Reactor hums. The engineer sleeps here.
Log fragment (Eng.) "Hid in the coolant trunk. Heard them tearing the hold apart for an hour. Then quiet. Still quiet."
Salvage a crate, hidden behind the coolant trunk, marked as spares. It is not spares. It is what the boarders came for.
Vacuum. Suit up. Runs on battery. Something was treated here recently.
Salvage the autodoc logged a patient after the fight — not a crewmember. The boarders left one of their own.

Cold. Frost on every surface. Lift and stairs up to the hub.
Hazard a cornered crewmember's last stand. Spent brass, a welded door, a body on each side of it.
Cold. Frost on every surface. Bunks for the crew. Lockers, most of them locked.
Two bunks stripped; nobody says why.
Ration printer and a working coffee machine.
Something moved in here — recently. Air is thin here. The gauges disagree with each other.
Hazard the boarders vented this section. It has been in vacuum long enough that everything inside is brittle.
Connections:
- Lift at column 16, row 15 → Hub deck

- Ladder at column 16, row 2 → Hub deck
The demo is the whole editor and generator, free, and saves a PNG with a small watermark. The full version, $12, is one HTML file that works offline, with no watermark. It exports the .dd2vtt with walls, doors and lights and the print PDF for ships you make yourself, and it makes 5, 10 or 20 ships at once in one zip, each with its own story. Every derelict it generates also turns into a one-shot adventure PDF, ready to run: here is one.
