Table 3: Disaster Strikes the Ark!
Role a D30, 1D3 times to determine what disaster(s) strike the Ark:
- Collision with near-C velocity particles damages ship
- Radiation events harm ship and/or crew
- Crew mutiny damages ship and/or leaves too few crew to maintain ship
- Civil war and/or armed conflict among supercargo/crew factions
- Catastrophic computer network failure
- Runaway AIs take over sections of the ship
- Runaway AIs repurpose parts of the ship, maintenance drones, or crew/supercargo
- Runaway maintenance drones damage ship
- Runaway maintenance drones attack crew and/or supercargo
- Loss of reserve crew from hibernation system failure
- Seemingly random systems failures (drive systems, airlocks, migration controls, environmental management, navigation, dedicated/expert systems. etc.)
- Runaway pests (space rats, space roaches, fungi, bacteria, etc.) disrupt agricultural systems
- Automated hydroponic systems fail, increasing crew/habitat conflicts over food
- Runaway hydroponic systems flood vital ship levels or habitats
- Population explosion due to failure of regulatory technologies
- Population explosion due to rejection of cultural norms regulating reproduction
- Population crash due to mutation
- Population crash due to disease
- Mutations wreak havoc with human populations and/or animal populations
- Mutations wreak havoc on plant life and/or agricultural system
- Runaway nanotech devastates/reformats/transforms ship technology and systems
- Runaway nanotech devastates/reformats/transforms living systems on ship (animals, plants, humans)
- Inter-habitat/crew area industry damages ship ecology
- Inter-habitat/crew area trade creates political and economic conflicts among supercargo and crew (wars for territory/resources, access to ship systems/resources, slavery, etc.)
- Alien invasion threatens supercargo and crew
- Alien invasion from energy beings destabilizes ship reactors
- Alien AIs attempt to take over the ship
- Inexplicable horrors from the Planes Beyond invade the ship
- Humans in FTL ships threaten supercargo and crew
- Biological contamination from interstellar clouds
