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.
ISV Zephyr carried a specimen and the specimen did not stay in its crate. The crew tracked it deck by deck, sealed what they could, and lost. The log stops. The seals are intact, from outside; whatever is inside them is not the crew. Last log entry: Deckhand Moreau. Their trail runs through three rooms. Hook: The thing in the ducts learned the door codes from watching.

Posted on Bluesky. A like or a repost there is the whole marketing budget.
PNG and .dd2vtt (walls, doors and lights for Foundry, Roll20 and Owlbear Rodeo) and the GM key below. CC0. Made with Bulkhead's starship deck plan generator; generate your own, every derelict comes with a story.
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. Nav plot frozen on the last fix. Somebody wrote the numbers on the glass.
Log fragment (Cpt.) "Sealed decks aft of frame 12. Nakamura is aft of frame 12. I have written to his family in my head a dozen times."
Trail 2/3 Moreau got this far. One set of boot prints in the dust, heading for the cargo hold (3), and a door code scratched into the frame.
Cold. Frost on every surface. Bunks stripped. One is made, tight, the way the service teaches it.
Hazard every bunk is stripped and the mattresses are stacked against the door, from the inside.
Trail 1/3 Deckhand Moreau's slate, screen cracked. The last entry: "Going to the bridge (1). Back in ten." Nothing after it.
Vacuum. Suit up. Straps cut. Whatever was lashed here left in a hurry.
Hazard the crate, open from the inside. The interior is wet and there are marks on the lid that were made slowly.
Log fragment (Deckhand) "Crate was fine at loading. Crate was fine at the jump. Crate is not fine."
Salvage the rest of the consignment, sealed and worth a great deal, to a buyer who must not know about the open crate.
Trail 3/3 The code from the last room opens the locker here. Inside, Moreau's own recording of the last day. It is the first account aboard from someone who was there.
Cold. The torch has not fired in weeks.
Hazard the ventilation grille is off and the duct beyond is scored. Something uses the ducts.
Bulkhead's fleet generator, in the $12 version, makes 5, 10 or 20 ships at once — shuttles, corvettes, freighters, stations, intact or derelict — in one zip. Every deck as a PNG and a .dd2vtt, a GM key like the one above for each, and one FLEET.md with every brief. The stories are spread across the fleet, so five derelicts are five different deaths.
