LV-439 A Planetoid Of Horror !


Out in the depths of space is LV-439 is a million year old planetoid, a very old system that very few would suspect. It is one of the ancient battle grounds between Atlans & Derros. The surface is littered with the covered over metallic remains of thousands of star ships. The devastated remains of the Atlan fleet.
Few suspect that within a mountain bunker there lies a secret that few suspect is still active. There have been 4 surveys by the the Academy of Science all efforts have been doomed to failure & chalked up to death by miss adventure. You see the derro are alive & active on LV -439 & their hungry.



In the mountains of  439 there are a series of massive tunnels hollowed out of the planetoid itself. Surveys revealed the following levels.

  1. Hanger Open -   Weathered Saucers, very pitted & beaten from acid rains
  2. Headquarters - Massive computer center & bio drive banks. The banks have been repaired using converted corpses of past expedition members to shore up the ancient bio drive systems  
  3. Atlan domes now in ruins 
  4. Biological weapons division  labs - some monsters still present. 
  5. Atlan Labs - has seen some of the fiercest fighting 
  6. Derro hives -Derro warriors in sleep chambers & cryo sleep 
  7. Alien Environment bio dome 
  8. Storage Facility- Saucers, skimmers, & parts 
  9. Battleground level - Killer robots, Atlan & Derro undead 
  10. Atlan Telepathic Bank - Cerebral Parasites 
  11. Atlan Biological Material/Sperm bank - Vault Sealed Tight 
  12. Forbidden Planet Style Center Of The Planetoid Fusion Reactors - Surrounded by Alien Style Warriors  
LV - 439 is surrounded by a cornea of psionic energy released by the weapons of the Atlans & the Derro conflict that howls under the alien moons themselves & orbits the planet. Here's a 1d10 Table of  this sentient storm!

    The weather if the planetoid is a constant of storms, gloom, & the occasional methane storm. Yet the biggest obstacle is the derro themselves who well up & surround their prey once night comes. LV-439 remains one of the most dangerous places in the universe.
