====== SALVAGE SPACE: STARSHIP OPERATIONS ====== While a planet or moon may provide many opportunities for adventure, many other activities the Adventurers undertake, such as survey exploration, resource hunting, colony support, military support, trading, treasure hunting, or salvage all require space transportation. The Adventurers must arrange the following if they want the most freedom to move and pursue their goals: ☐ **MISSION** \\ The Adventurers' mission-specific goals drive any additional preparation work needed before launch. What is the mission plan? ☐ **VEHICLE** \\ Hire, Rent, or Purchase? \\ What kind of vehicles fit mission requirements? ☐ **FACILITIES** \\ Every space vehicle requires maintenance and resupply. Which yard built the vehicle? \\ Which flag or nationality registered the vessel? \\ Which planet, moon, or station does the ship and crew call "home port" ? ☐ **CREW** \\ Who commands? \\ Who pilots? \\ Who navigates? \\ Who handles the engines? \\ Who provides security? \\ Who handles cargo, passengers, or specialized mission gear? \\ ☐ **CONSUMABLES** \\ Every space vehicle requires a long list of specialized consumable items to successfully fly such as fuel, atmosphere mix, water, food, and spare parts. Where will the Adventurers get these, as needed? ▲ [[:Chronology:]] ~~DISCUSSION~~
