ERE’S THE DEAL.
B
The Zwerg crashed
into the side of the
Derelict about four days ago
and it carried on going. The
plasma drill on the front of it
is cutting the ship in half and
it’s gonna be difficult to get to
the DOOM if it saws off the
fuckin engines. TO THAT END:
get in there and stop it.

SPECIAL: The first time a
dwarf is reduced to 0 HP,
it skips its next turn and
gets back up with 1 HP and
a grudge.
You can counteract this by
finishing it off properly.

All minor roles performed by robots, many
of which are unable to stop performing
WHAT WENT
WRONG?
Mining ships don’t normally crash into the side of floating
junkyards and drill through them without stopping.
Something’s gone awry, so roll or pick one (or combine sever

Dwarfs summoning demons in runic
pentagrams to gain MINING KNOWLEDGE
but the warding broke down and now
hell energy is everywhere
Mutiny on board saw 90% of the crew
killed in brutal attacks and reprisals, leaving
the ship out of control
Malfunctioning ancestor AI ghosts possessed
some robots and started causing chaos
The crew went into hibernation (space
4:
dwarfs sleep for three out of every twelve
months but not at other times) and things got
out of hand thanks to robot incompetence
Space Mines ran dry and the fleet turned on each other
to survive, crew is attempting to get back to their homeworld
alone but ran out of supplies a decade ago
Lack of contact with fleet for fifty years has pitched the crew
into splintered factions formed around badly-remembered
familial lines, murder and starvation most common causes
of death, kill-zones in between contested strongholds
