Traveller Sandbox: The Red Zone Reason Table...

Good Afternoon, All:

In any Traveller campaign, some worlds are denoted as having Red Zone status. Whatever the reason behind that status might be, you can bet that Referees can use it to create interesting adventures, and player-characters can find some excuse to visit the place just to see what's there. In order to assist the weary Referee, I've provided the following Red Zone Reason table to help provide playable explanations for this particular status code. As always, your Traveller Universe may be different from mine regarding certain underlying assumptions. If you come across an entry that doesn't seem to fit your needs, please feel free to change it for your own personal setting development.

Enjoy,
Flynn
