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 Winnow Verge is under quarantine, by its own crew, in the end by whoever was left. Something came aboard in a cargo lot and moved through the ship in days. The crew quarters are sealed. There are marks on the doors, from the inside. Last log entry: Tech Moreau. Their trail runs through three rooms. Hook: Two crew are missing and the pods are all here.

Free, CC0. The .dd2vtt carries walls, doors and 2 lights, 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.
Something moved in here — recently. Nav plot frozen on the last fix. Somebody wrote the numbers on the glass.
Log fragment (Cpt.) "Set the beacon to WARN OFF. If anyone docks anyway, they were warned."
Trail 1/3 A sound-powered handset hanging off its hook, the line still open to engineering (2). It needs no power, and someone at the other end kept talking long after anyone answered.
Cold. Frost on every surface. Panels off, parts sorted on the deck by someone who ran out of time.
Trail 2/3 The other end of the line. Moreau's helmet sits under the handset, and on the bulkhead beside it, chalked in Moreau's hand, the next room: the crew quarters (8).
Vacuum. Suit up. Rack half empty. The sign-out sheet stops mid-line.
Shuttle still here, hatch open, seats empty.
One sample tray labelled and signed. The rest are blank.
Hazard broken sample cases. The floor is wet and it is not water. It soaks through boots: anyone who walks through it rolls against the contagion.
Salvage the doctor's notes, complete, on a data slate. They end mid-sentence.
Manifest on the wall, half the lines crossed out in marker.
Hazard bodies, arranged. Someone took care over this. Disturb them and a grey dust lifts into the air: anyone unfiltered rolls against the contagion.
Log fragment (Deckhand) "Lot 14 was breathing when we loaded it. Told the XO. XO said crates don't breathe."
Salvage forty crates. Lot 14 is open. The others are worth a fortune to someone who does not ask where they came from.
Every pod still docked. Nobody got out.
Lockers open. Whatever was worth taking has been taken.
Hazard one bunk is still occupied and the occupant is still warm. They are calm, and they reach for the nearest hand: a touch is a roll against the contagion.
Log fragment (XO) "Kowalczyk is calm now. I have locked her in. I have told her it is for the fever."
Trail 3/3 Moreau's last call went here. The recorder clipped under the console is Tech Moreau's. It caught both ends of the call, and everything after, to the end of the last day.
Cold. The torch has not fired in weeks.
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.
