Overview

Bindweed is a working starship used for escort, supply runs, and carrying passengers between small settlements. Its broad forward hull gives it a sturdy profile, while the exposed gun ports and reinforced airlock make clear that it is built to survive trouble, not just travel.

How she looks

Bindweed is a compact, three-deck starship with a broad, blunt nose and a narrow aft spine. Its patched slate-gray hull is marked with pale green bands around the docking collar and gun ports. Clusters of small maneuvering thrusters stud the sides, and its running lights shine amber rather than white.

Rumours aboard
Bindweed once carried a hidden cargo compartment that was sealed over during repairs. True, though its contents are long gone.
The ship's guns are powerful enough to crack a station bulkhead with one shot. False; they are light defensive weapons.
Someone in the crew secretly pays for extra water rations for stranded travelers. True, but the giver is not known.
The intermittent sensor fault is caused by a passenger's charm. False; a worn connector is to blame.

Decks

3 decks

Command, flight control, and visitor reception

  • Flight deckA compact bridge with forward viewports and consoles arranged around the pilot's chair.
  • Command roomA practical command room where the captain can speak with visitors away from the bridge.
  • AirlockA small entry chamber with a pressure door and a bench for removing travel gear.

History

Built as a short-haul transport, Bindweed changed hands after its original operator folded. Dogday's crew bought it together and have kept it flying with salvage parts, careful maintenance, and favors repaid without interest.

  • Navigation at the Table

    The ship carries a folding chart table, a hand-marked route board, and a rack of paper star charts. The crew use these alongside the navigation systems, especially when sensors are unreliable.

  • Gun Safety

    Weapons are shipboard guns, not personal arms. Their firing ports are visible from the outside, and the gunner can operate them from the protected control station.

Plot hooks

1A passenger arrives with a sealed case that gives off a faint heat signature, though its manifest calls it medical equipment.
2A routine gun test reveals that one weapon tracks a moving object before the target appears on sensors.
3A crew member discovers that someone has been altering the handwritten route board between shifts.
4A frightened stowaway is found in the stores and insists that the crew cannot return them to their last port.
