What it is about
Arkline Drift — A Starforged-Compatible Sector Primer
Hard-vacuum sci-fi you can play tonight. Arkline Drift drops a ready-to-run sector into your Ironsworn: Starforged game—salvage jobs, rebel broadcasts, and haunted anomalies, with clean, printer-friendly layouts and table-ready tools.
Influence & vibe: Think The Expanse grit, Space: 1999 weird, a little Trek optimism, Blake’s 7 rebellion, and Aliens industrial danger—distilled into original names, factions, and sites you can actually use at the table.
What you get
10 Setting Truths tuned for the Drift + 30 quest seeds (3 per truth) to spark immediate play.
Sector seed with waypoints, threats, and a d12 job table (Gantry-9 yards, Sable Quarry, Abbey of the Quiet Orbit, the Brash freeport, and more).
4 Custom Assets
Freebelt Rigsider, Mag-Boot Marksman, Utility Drone “Puck,” and the Quantum Ping ritual.
NEW! Four d100 Oracles
Contracts & Jobs, Derelict & Salvage Finds, Station Life & Port Complications, Void Tides & Anomalies—hundreds of instant prompts.
One-page Roll Summary for quick d100 use (tens/ones cheat and examples).
Print-and-Play Asset Cards (fronts + mirrored backs for short-edge duplex, with tiny alignment glyphs).
Formats included: Letter and A4 PDFs.
Why it works
Zero prep, high mileage. Roll once and you’ve got a job, a complication, and a weird space-weather twist.
Built for solo, co-op, or GM-led Starforged play—hooks that keep momentum.
Printer-friendly design. Bold black/white with orange accents; cards are formatted to cut cleanly.
Drop-in friendly. Use the whole Drift or steal pieces for your own sector.
What’s inside (at a glance)
Truths (10): Cataclysmic jumps, ark-stations adrift, unionized belts vs megacorps vs bureaucracy, patchwork law, imprecise travel, void-mysticism and more.
Waypoints: Shipyards in spin-rings, a refinery town with synth clinics, a monastic relay that sells “tide” windows, a shifting freeport market, and a corporate salvage graveyard.
Threats: Directorate Audit Fleet, Combine black-bag team VULTURE, Spiral Mold xeno-ecology.
Jobs & tables: A ready d12 job list plus 4× d100 oracles to keep the story moving.
