Cheap Life
Human life is near-worthless on this world. Ubiquitous cloning, local conditions that ensure early death, a culture that reveres murder, or a social structure that utterly discounts the value of most human lives ensures that death is the likely outcome for any action that irritates someone consequential. Enemies: Friends: Complications: Things: Places:
 * Master assassin
 * Bloody-handed judge
 * Overseer of disposable clones
 * Endearing local whose life the PCs accidentally bought
 * Escapee from death seeking outside help
 * Reformer trying to change local mores
 * Radiation or local diseases ensure all locals die before twenty-five years of age
 * Tech ensures that death is just an annoyance
 * Locals are totally convinced of a blissful afterlife
 * Device that revives or re-embodies the dead
 * Maltech engine fueled by human life
 * Priceless treasure held by a now-dead owner
 * Thronging execution ground
 * Extremely cursory cemetery
 * Factory full of lethal dangers that could be corrected easily

Outpost World
The world is only a tiny outpost of human habitation planted by an offworld corporation or government. Perhaps the staff is there to serve as a refueling and repair stop for passing ships, or to oversee an automated mining and refinery complex. They might be there to study ancient ruins, or simply serve as a listening and monitoring post for traffic through the system. The outpost is likely well-equipped with defenses against casual piracy.
