The Doomsday Ship | GURPS Space

About the adventure

The Doomsday Ship is a narrative driven adventure in a spacefaring society populated solely by humans, who were attempting to explore the Milky Way Galaxy. However, after an interaction with an unknown substance, the exploration ship, Nova-9, was transported to somewhere unknown in the universe. Upon being suddenly transported, navigation was destroyed and even the ship's artificial intelligence cannot surmise exactly where Nova-9 and its crew are now. Players will take over roles aboard the 120-population ship as they deal with the sudden realization that they are going to die in an unknown galaxy with no way of any other human knowing their fate. The crew must make constant repairs and stop on planets for resources, like a moon to harvest detected metals to make repairs and tools or a bio-planet to turn biological material into fuel. The hope is that as the ship travels through the void, they can eventually figure out the orientation of the universe, and thus, find a direction towards the Milky Way. However, this will require maintaining the ship and its crew, who will struggle with mental illness and injury on their journey. The main focus will fall on exploration and resource management, but also dealing with combative organisms and politics, as mutinies and betrayals can occur when crew are unhappy!
