SALVAGE SPACE: ENVIRONMENT
In addition to Terrain and Weather, Adventurers must anticipate and adapt to extremes of environmental conditions.
☐ ATMOSPHERIC MIX
Space-faring biological creatures pay close attention to atmospheric composition and quality.
☐ ELECTRICITY
Surrounded by ubiquitous technology and systems to power it, Adventurers may encounter a variety of electrical conditions even while safely enclosed in ships or stations, in addition to wild natural lightning storms while exploring moons or planets.
☐ GRAVITY
Ships under thrust, stations with habitation rings, entire asteroids under spin, or moons and planets massive enough each produce gravity or gravity-like effects which the Adventurers must endure or adapt to.
☐ HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS
Another fact of life surrounded by technology, many opportunities exist to encounter many chemicals and chemical effects harmful to Adventurers.
☐ HUMIDITY
Extremes of humidity can affect a wide variety of technology the Adventurers rely on.
☐ LIGHTING
Varieties and extremes of lighting conditions, including arc light from electrical equipment, drive flares, and more create considerable technological adaptation in optics and optic shielding.
☐ PRESSURE
Spacers, colonists, and researchers living and working in pressurized environments such as spacecraft, stations, asteroids, and undersea installations pay as close attention to atmospheric pressure as they do the atmospheric mix.
☐ RADIATION
Spacers and colonists closely monitor radiation exposure from natural or technological sources.
☐ SOUNDS
Station and ship dwelling Adventurers pay attention to the amount and quality of life support and engine sounds and investigate anything “out of sorts” or unexpected they may hear.
☐ TEMPERATURE
Adventurers must control their exposure to temperature extremes to avoid harmful effects, while living and working in environments hostile to most forms of life.
