What it is about
This supplement has 100 different encounters for planetary orbit. Some of the encounters would only happen around a currently-inhabited technologically advanced world whilst others are more likely around others. The encounters can range from the odd to the potentially dangerous to the possibly useful. They can be used to enliven a space journey or as a source of potential adventure hooks.

Here are some sample results:
Escape pod that appears to be completely dead. If it is opened, the occupants are found to be dead and it appears they died of a disease. This is true, and opening the pod exposes anyone not protected to an alien disease.
Escape pod that seems to have been jettisoned comparatively recently. It is empty of people, but contains all of its supplies.
Experimental weather control satellite that proves to be dangerously erratic in function.
Explosion debris clustered in a large and drifting cloud.
Extensive solar farm that has suffered problems with its station-keeping systems and is currently drifting.
