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 Yarrow Drift lost power, then heat, then everyone. A cascade fault dropped the bus in the middle of a long haul and the crew could not bring it back. They gathered in the warmest room and waited. The ship has been at minus sixty for a long time. Last log entry: Cpt. Lindqvist. Their trail runs through three rooms. 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 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.
Dark. Emergency lighting only. Consoles dark. One chair is turned to face the door.
Log fragment (Nav) "Sent the mayday on the last of the capacitor. If anyone heard, they have not said."
Log fragment (unsigned) "Whoever reads this: she was ours, and we kept her going as long as we could. Tell the company that much."
Salvage a crew locker, still locked. A month's pay in hard chits and a photograph nobody is coming back for.
Trail 3/3 The bottom locker, its seal unbroken. Inside: Cpt. Lindqvist's recorder, with the last day on it, all of it.
Straps cut. Whatever was lashed here left in a hurry.
Hazard a ceiling panel hangs by its cables and one end is live. Anyone tall, or careless with a lamp, brushes it: a hard shock.
Salvage perishables, perfectly preserved. A fortune in frozen produce for anyone who can get it to port frozen.
Lockers open. Whatever was worth taking has been taken.
Hazard the crew, together, under every blanket aboard. They were breathing until quite recently. Lifting the blankets lets the last pocket of air out: everyone here checks against the cold at once.
Log fragment, on a slate held in a frozen hand "hour 58. still here. tell Moreau's mother"
Trail 1/3 A keycard on a lanyard by the door, Lindqvist's face on it. The door log says it last opened the drive section (4).
Cold. The torch has not fired in weeks.
Hazard frost on every surface, thick enough to hide the floor. Grates, drops and open hatches are all the same white.
Trail 2/3 The card's last door. On the wall in grease pencil, in Lindqvist's hand: "THE BRIDGE, BOTTOM LOCKER." That is the bridge (1).
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.
