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.
ICV Saltmarsh went through a debris field that was not on the chart and came out the other side with holes in it. The air went in stages, one compartment at a time, and the crew moved forward ahead of it until there was no more forward. Six weeks, give or take. Last log entry: Eng. Lindqvist. Their trail runs through three rooms. Hook: A distress beacon is still running. It is not the ship's.

Free, CC0. The .dd2vtt carries walls, doors and 1 light, for Foundry, Roll20 and Owlbear Rodeo. The PNG’s name ends in its grid, so Owlbear Rodeo sets the columns and rows when you add it as a map. 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.
Cold. Frost on every surface. Nav plot frozen on the last fix. Somebody wrote the numbers on the glass.
Hazard floor buckled; the lower half of this room is a drop into the void.
Hazard shattered viewport, edges razor-fine. Suit tears on contact.
Log fragment (Nav) "Debris field not on any chart. Cpt. says ride it out. We are riding it out."
Trail 3/3 Eng. Lindqvist is here, or what is left of them. The recorder on their suit is still running and covers the last day.
Vacuum. Suit up. One sample tray labelled and signed. The rest are blank.
Salvage six suit batteries in a charging rack, all still holding charge. Worth more out here than anything on the manifest.
One cradle empty. The rest still docked, cold.
Log fragment (pod bay panel) one launch, 41 days ago, heading logged and then wiped by someone with the Cpt. code.
Trail 2/3 Lindqvist's other glove. Scratched into the bulkhead beside it at hand height: "THE BRIDGE. DON'T." That is the bridge (1).
Scram lever pulled and wired down so it stays pulled.
Lockers open. Whatever was worth taking has been taken.
Log fragment, handwritten "If you find this, the pod took Reyes and the kid. Do not look for us in the hull."
Trail 1/3 A glove on the deck just inside the door, Lindqvist's by the name stitched in the cuff. The other one is in the escape pods (3).
Rack half empty. The sign-out sheet stops mid-line.
Salvage one rifle, no magazine, and a flare pistol with three flares.
Fuel gauges at zero. The log says they were not.
Hazard hull plate hanging by two rivets. Touch it and it goes, with whoever is holding it.
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.
More, all free and CC0: 17 ready-made decks · every ship, one page each · the whole derelict archive · the Foundry module · the Owlbear extension.
