LET SLEEPING LUGUBRAA LIE

An encounter suitable for parties of 3rd level playing Star Wars 5e.

BACKGROUND
Some twenty years ago, the crew of the Miser's Purse
ran a smuggling operation under the guise of an
asteroid mining business. They frequently traveled
across the galaxy hauling contraband buried beneath
cargo holds full of ore. Their final run would see them
transporting live cargo from the Unknown Regions:
three shipping containers full of lugubraa.
Towards the end of their journey, the captain had
stopped off at a mostly uninhabited star system to
collect ore when a freak navigation error resulted in
the ship being rent in half, shuttering back into an
uninhabited star system. Crewmen in the cargo holds
and living quarters were vented into space in seconds,
and the shipping containers full of lugubraa were
thrown open. A few faster specimens held fast to the
hull. Their ravenous hunger from the long journey
drove them to attack the remaining unsuspecting crew
when they attempted repair and recovery operations.
With only two men left and the lugubraa still in
pursuit, the captain sacrificed himself and save the
others. With only a blaster pistol and vibrosword to
defend himself with, he corralled the monsters into the
equipment room using himself as bait while the final
two fled in an escape pod, never to return.
Though the ship has been exposed to the cold
vacuum of space for nearly two decades, there are still
treasures and dangers for intrepid explorers to
discover within its walls.
OVERVIEW
The party finds themselves violently and unexpectedly
ripped from hyperspace by the same anomaly that
destroyed the Miser's Purse. The navcomputer
screeches that the fuel line has ruptured, venting the
rest of the ship's fuel into the void. Their ship now
drifts in real space at the edge of an asteroid field.
Though they are stranded without fuel and with
limited supplies, a cursory scan of the area reveals a
mining ship nearby. At first glance, it’s very obvious
from the fact that it is in two distinct pieces that the
ship will not be rescuing them. It has been floating in
the black for months if not years. Further scanning
reveals that the wreck is completely unpowered and
that there are no life signs on board.
This could be the opportunity that the player
characters need to find materials to repair their vessel
and maybe, with a bit of luck, some fuel.

THE WRECK
The sensor anomaly that cropped up a few hours ago
finally comes into view; a hulking mass of twisted
metal, shattered bulkheads and floating debris fill the
view screens. Whatever happened here looks like it
happened a long time ago. The hull of this old mining
barge has been left fragmented and the bow has been
torn from the ship entirely, almost certainly killing the
crew. The aft of the vessel looks almost intact, perhaps
some sections survived. Player characters should take
care to use specialized equipment like mag-boots or
other creative solutions to stay within the ship.
1. MAIN CARGO HOLD
Characters without darkvision or blindsight will need a
light source to see the areas in the ship not exposed to
the starlight outside. The door to the secondary cargo
hold, which is mostly caved in, can be removed with
relatively little effort.
The ruptured hull and twisted superstructure
have caused significant damage here, but
most of the machinery in this darkened space
looks intact. A large drone maintenance dock
fills one corner and, a now redundant, cargo
door lies closed in the center of the room. A
huge hole in the port bulkhead is only partly
obstructed by floating debris. The door to the
bridge and central control room is buckled.
Peering through the cracks in the wall,
nothing but the faint glow of distant stars lie
beyond.
Mynock Roost. A swarm of mynocks has taken up
residence in the dark, quiet recesses of the cargo hold.
Player characters who disturb the roost are likely to
anger the sleeping beasts. Spotting the beasts requires
that players have a passive Perception of 15 or greater.
Players can make a DC 12 Dexterity (Stealth) check to
attempt to sneak past the sleeping swarm. Monster
information for a mynock swarm can be found on pg.
109 of Scum and Villainy.
The single intact XK-V8 mining droid sits dark
with its legs folded up beneath it in what
looks to be its recharging station on the dock.
The droid resembles an arachnid with three-
pronged claws at the end of each appendage
and its underbelly bristles with tools, such as
a circular saw and arc welders. Atop the droid
sits several large, forward facing sensors.
Maintenance Dock. The docking area contains three Work S
class V XK-V8 excavation droids, one of which is intact. access
Players can make a DC 12 Intelligence (Technology) Intellig
check to try and attach a power source to the droid or or high
the dock in an attempt to power the droid back up. All inform
of the droids can be salvaged for parts. If the mynock lading
swarm is still sleeping nearby, the players will need to 115 ton
continue making DC 12 Dexterity (Stealth) checks any Corpor
time they take an action that generates noise. Failing bill of l
this check will wake the swarm. shipme

2. SECONDARY CARGO HOLD difficul
The hold contains a fuel canister filled to only 2% Lugubr
capacity. This could come in handy if players forgot to Stor
bring a canister with them from their ship. The include
durasteel door to the crew quarters and equipment expired
rooms are unpowered and firmly in place though well wo
players can attempt to remove or move them, it will be
a challenge to do so.
Little remains of this entire section of the
derelict vessel. Its contents float aimlessly in
the void around the scrapped remains of the
bulk heads and structural frames. Two
massive open shipping containers and a fuel
canister stand out in the debris. The console
adjacent to the forward bulkhead is
shattered, any answers it might have held
long gone.
If players take the time to inspect the opened doors of
the large, empty shipping containers, they will find
thousands of fine lines are etched deeply into the
inside of the durasteel, cross-hatched in no discernible
pattern.
3. CREW QUARTERS
Like the Secondary Cargo Hold, player characters must
take care to secure themselves in this area or risk
floating out into space.
Most of this section has been exposed to the
vacuum for decades, slowly decaying in the
background radiation that engulfs it. A
terminal sits tucked away in the corner with a
small safe underneath it while two bunk beds
dominate the rest of what little room is left in
the crew quarters. Floating just above the
beds is a small storage container.
Part 3 | The Miser's Purse 3
 Smuggler's Safe. To break into the safe, the player
must pass a DC 14 Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check.
Repeated failures result in a mechanic lockout. At first
glance, it appears that the safe has been raided but
after rifling through it, they will easily find 1/4 pound of
illicit spice worth roughly 2,500 credits on the black
market. The real challenge will be finding a buyer.
4. MINING CONTROL STATION
The door leading to the central hallway is partially
opened. Forcing it completely open would take little
effort. This section will be plunged into darkness if the
door slides closed behind them.
From this room, it looks like the crew managed
a small fleet of automated mining droids that
specialized in cutting at asteroids in tandem
and safely maneuvering ore into the ship's
hold. There don't appear to be any drones
here currently, but the outboard ore hold
appears to contain 1 ton of carvanium.
With the exception of the ore, this section seems
empty though the players can attempt to salvage parts
from the inboard maintenance terminal. Players who
search behind the ore hold will find enough sealed
mining explosives to serve as a Charge, Fragmentation
(Average).
5. HALLWAY
The labels above the doors in this dark hallway indicate
where they lead. The door leading to the engineering &
reactor control room is open while the door leading to
the equipment storage & cargo hold access is very
obviously lined with explosives.
On their way out, the two surviving crewmen
ensured that the lugubraa could not pursue them by
leaving some blasting and drilling explosives behind. It
was a rush job, so it should be apparent to characters
who have darkvision or a light source that the door is
rigged to explode whether it opens via manual or
electronic means. To open the door without triggering
the explosion, a player will have to roll a DC 13
Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check to disable the
explosives without setting them off.
A failure will result in any creature within 20 feet of
the charge having to make a DC 15 Dexterity saving
throw. A creature takes 1d6 fire damage and 1d6
kinetic damage on a failed save, or half as much on a
successful one. The lugubraa in the equipment storage
& cargo hold access will immediately be alerted to their
presence.
A success results in the player quietly removing the
detonator from the crumbling explosives.
Unfortunately, do to their age, they are not stable
enough to recover and use again.
5. ENGINEERING & REACTOR CONTROL
4 Part 3 | The Miser's Purse
In this area, the characters will be able to find the fuel LEECH
that they need to continue with their journey. An If you
enterprising salvaging team might see opportunity in your
one of the access points containing an auxiliary power senti
relay. the lo
Jurry-rigging some sort of power cell here might lugub
grant limited control of other basic systems, powering AC by
tenta
doors to access other areas.
The room is dark as systems lie dormant, but
once lit it’s pretty clear that the ship's reactor
remains undamaged and intact. One of the
open access points contains an auxiliary
power relay.
A player can spend 10 minutes or make a DC 10
Intelligence (Techonology) check to reroute power to
auxiliary systems. Once the system boots, it displays
that a single escape pod was launched and that there
are 160 hours of fuel remaining that can be siphoned
into a fuel canister.
6. EQUIPMENT STORAGE &
CARGO HOLD ACCESS
This final section of the ship can be bypassed
completely if players think that the risk of disabling the
explosives is too much. Otherwise, they will find a
challenging fight against the four lugubraa within. If
players didn't set off the explosive charge and stay
quiet, they have the opportunity to strike against the
groggy, hibernating creatures.
You are greeted by the sight of four ravenous
beasts anchored to the hull with suction cup
like hands. Dried copper-colored smears
paint the floor in the middle of the room, but
what really draws the eye is the grizzly pile of
shattered bones and armor laying at the
center. The maggot-white bipedal leech
monsters turn towards you with gaping maws
sporting circular rows of razor teeth. They
cant their long heads back and forth and you
see pits in the skin where there should
probably be eyes as they begin to advance.
Lugubraa aren't terribly intelligent but they are
tenacious and will use numbers to their advantage and
cut off their exits. If characters try to escape, the
lugubraa will give chase. If characters disengage their
mag-boots or try to use the zero gravity environment
to create space and mitigate the lugubraas' melee
capabilities, the creatures will scale the walls and
ceiling to try and find a place where they can strike out
and grapple them. If they get desperate, they might
even launch themselves at characters.
Try and make it clear to your players that the
lugubraa do not have eyes. This will give them the
opportunity to deploy abilities or weapons that cause
deafness.
