Exploration Encounters:
01. Maelstrom - You pass through a
seemingly calm portion of space
when the light from the stars
starts to disappear. Out of nowhere
a maelstrom opens up all around
your ship. With no other option you

goes black for a split second then
seemingly returns to normal. As you
get your bearings you notice your
chronological data is out of order
and you’re back where you
originally entered this part of
space. ​You are now in the sector
where you started. -5ST.

portion of seemingly empty space.
This calm gives you the chance to
rest, research and recalculate.

scanners pick up a space station
with a vast computer network. This
seems to be a major trading hub for
this sector. You may dock with the
station. ​Roll d10​
