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:
- Master assassin
- Bloody-handed judge
- Overseer of disposable clones
Friends:
- Endearing local whose life the PCs accidentally bought
- Escapee from death seeking outside help
- Reformer trying to change local mores
Complications:
- 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
Things:
- Device that revives or re-embodies the dead
- Maltech engine fueled by human life
- Priceless treasure held by a now-dead owner
Places:
- 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.
Enemies:
- Space-mad outpost staffer
- Outpost commander who wants it to stay undiscovered
- Undercover saboteur
Friends:
- Lonely staffer
- Fixated researcher
- Overtaxed maintenance chief
Complications:
- The alien ruin defense systems are waking up
- Atmospheric disturbances trap the group inside the outpost for a month
- Pirates raid the outpost
- The crew have become converts to a strange set of beliefs
Things:
- Alien relics
- Vital scientific data
- Secret corporate exploitation plans
Places:
- Grimy recreation room
- Refueling station
- The only building on the planet
- A “starport” of swept bare rock
