Adapting North West of Earth By C.L. Moore - Orbital Decay (MicroRed version) From The Red Room & The New Flesh Rpg - a Random D100 Terran Imperial Technology & Cosmic Anomalies Table

 In the grand traditions of C.L. Moore and Leigh Brackett, Earth is no peaceful beacon of enlightenment. Instead, the Terran Trade Authority (TTA) and Earth’s ruthless mining consortia act as aggressive, industrial imperialists—bringing heavy rayguns, armored crawlers, and corporate law to the ancient, dying worlds of the Solar System. Meanwhile, deep space hides alien anomalies and pre-human relics that defy human understanding. This entry picks up from
