2015-04-17 23:13:56 +0000 UTCGood stuff Winchell. I especially like the bit on shipbreakers. I would love to set an adventure in the remains of an Imperial Star Destroyer, either as a story or as a RPG adventure! And I would be remiss in not mentioning that not everyone has to directly participate in a shipbreaking. Like most boomtowns, those who supply a service to the breakers will make out like bandits. (Something I used as the basis for my short story "The Ice Cream Man".
