Dandelion Void

A civilization in a bottle, the starship* *Pergola carried everything its crew would need for a generations-long voyage. Living quarters, hospitals, libraries, reactors, farms, chapels, factories, and so much more… all gone to seed.

• Cut through jungle corridors in search of crafting supplies, exotic weapons, and rare decorations.
• Pry open long sealed bulkhead doors — just pray the void of interstellar space isn’t waiting for you on the other side.
• Patch up rotted spacesuits, lead lined radiation gear, and other protective garments to traverse dangerous new areas.
• Stockpile for the next cold snap; life support is on the fritz after centuries of neglect, and you can never be sure when it might fail… for days or even months at a time.
• The jungle is alive, and extremely hostile. Will you chance a run through the serrated tendrils of crawling plant life, or barricade up and hide somewhere safe?

Dandelion Void is highly lethal, but there's more to life than just staying alive.

In addition to traditional hunger, thirst, and shelter needs, you must balance your character's comfort and happiness. Build a home wherever you can; an abandoned air duct, office supply closet, or a leafy hovel by a reactor cooling pool. Furnish your dwelling with cozy furniture and decorate it with strange artifacts.

Time spent in comfortable surroundings boosts your character's morale, providing a mechanical incentive for base building and maintenance.

The Pergola launched in the late 20th century in an alternate timeline. As the brutality of capitalism came to a zenith, popular uprisings fragmented the United States and Europe into a jigsaw puzzle of separatist territories.

In response, the scattered remains of the old world’s powers joined into a brutal military regime. This old guard stands in opposition to the optimism and pragmatism of the newly formed Workers United Government.

During a fragile window of ceasefire, a cadre of artists, scientists, and controversial financiers in the autonomous San Francisco Bay created the Acorn Starship Collective. Visionaries to some, gutless cowards to others, the ASC launched the Pergola towards an exoplanet with speculated life-sustaining capability, a dozen generations away.

You know nothing of this. Your eyes have never seen these long dead founders, and your feet have never known the soil of Earth or any other planet. Your world is one of cold steel bulkheads, winding jungle corridors, and the groan of unfamiliar machinery. You are alone.
