Baron Station: A System-Agnostic Space Sci-Fi Supplement

Every port has a landlord. This one has excellent discretion. Baron Station is a decommissioned orbital assembly platform turned smugglers’ haven and the most open secret in the sector. Officially, it’s a salvage yard run by philanthropist-industrialist Deni Zen. Unofficially, it’s where hot ships disappear, where weapons get built that no licensing board would approve, and where every favor is a debt waiting to be called in. Baron Station is a system-agnostic NASApunk supplement for Game Masters who want a living criminal hub for their space campaigns. Drop it into any sci-fi ruleset as a home base, a heist target, or the engine of a full campaign. Inside you’ll find: A ring-by-ring station guide with a GM schematic and a player-facing map A full dossier on Deni Zen , including his public persona, his methods, and the real org chart Six front businesses , each laundering a different problem and with hooks to pull on any thread without unraveling the whole network Factions and power players : a divided security force, a salvage union with some leverage, a rival fixer, a corp trying to repossess the station, and a salvage cult. Nine NPCs with motivations, roleplay notes, and ready-to-use hooks 15 job seeds in four tiers , from first-night milk runs to station-ending finales d66 and d20 tables for salvaged tech, black-market weapons, ship parts, and item provenance Heat and Standing rules that bolt onto any system, tracking attention, reputation, and the debts that make Zen’s power a real threat Quick-reference sheets and name generators for use at the table Built for: GMs running smuggler, salvager, fixer, or heist-style campaigns in any science fiction system. Works as a one-shot location or a long-running base of operations. Your crew just needs somewhere to dock. Zen will take care of the rest, for a price.
