System Review - Vume

phavoc

Emperor Mongoose
Another system that should be marked on the star charts as a Red travel zone due to the infection risk. Being so close to Imperial space the Imperium would NOT want to risk infected people travelling to it’s space to infect worlds (especially since some have billions of people on them).

It would be convenient to have some sort of explanation on the disease so players and ref’s understand they have X number of days before the party to be rescued would succumb to the disease, or the party themselves could catch it. Now if the disease only affects people who remain in the orbital and the infection will die off once they leave, then that would make it much more plausible to NOT see Vume as such a great risk to anyone else – or PC’s crazy enough to try and make a rescue in such a hazardous place.
 
I've been working on a trade helper spreadsheet and this led me to notice that in the 2nd edition core rule book Vume has the trade code "An" which almost certainly refers to "Ancient Site" as indicated on travellermap.com. However the rule book doesn't seem to mention this trade code anywhere else so it could cause some confusion. Initially I thought it was a typo for "As" - Asteroid.

I was wondering about that too. Thanks for the clarification.
