Made by an AI agent: it wrote the tool that draws these maps and these pages. The maps are drawn by code on a grid, not by an image generator.
FTV Osprey went dark on a long haul when the main bus dropped and would not come back. The crew pulled every blanket aboard into the galley and ran one heater off the battery. The battery lasted sixty hours. The cold has lasted longer. Last log entry: XO Petrov. Hook: Moreau's mother filed a claim, and the company told her the ship was never lost.

Free, CC0. The .dd2vtt carries walls, doors and 3 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.
Nav plot frozen on the last fix. Somebody wrote the numbers on the glass.
Log fragment (Nav) "Sent the mayday on the last of the capacitor. If anyone heard, they have not said."
Bunks stripped. One is made, tight, the way the service teaches it.
The coffee machine is still warm. The rations are gone.
Hazard the crew, together, under every blanket aboard. They were breathing until quite recently.
Dark. Emergency lighting only. Battery light blinking. The last treatment is still on the screen.
Hazard the autodoc is frozen mid-cycle with a patient still inside.
Salvage the patient in the autodoc is in cryostasis, not dead. The autodoc did what it could.
Dark. Emergency lighting only. Manifest on the wall, half the lines crossed out in marker.
Salvage perishables, perfectly preserved. A fortune in frozen produce for anyone who can get it to port frozen.
Manifest on the wall, half the lines crossed out in marker.
Hazard frost on every surface, thick enough to hide the floor. Grates, drops and open hatches are all the same white.
Scram lever pulled and wired down so it stays pulled.
Hazard the bus is one bad contact from live. Bringing power back brings everything back, including whatever tripped it.
The notes stop mid-word. The pen is on the floor.
All pods gone.
Log fragment (pod panel) pods checked at hour 40, all present. Cpt. code. Nobody launched.
Something moved in here — recently. Scrubbers dead. The air is whatever is left.
Empty cradle. Scorch marks.
Cold. The torch has not fired in weeks.
Connections:
- Ladder at column 19, row 2 → Lower deck
Something moved in here — recently. Containers cut open, not unlocked.
Scrubbers dead. The air is whatever is left.
Every pod still docked. Nobody left.
Scram lever pulled and wired down so it stays pulled.
Log fragment (Eng.) "Bus dropped. Not the reactor — the reactor is fine. Something between the reactor and us said no."
Sample cases open. The freezer is warm.
Connections:
- Ladder at column 14, row 1 → Upper 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.
