Underground Prison Facility

[Sageryne]

Hi all,

Robert Pearce at Yet Another Traveller Blog developed geomorphs with interesting floorplans. I have posted several ships using his geomorphs. However, today we did something a little different, a secret, underground prison. It is suitable for a break out, or even a break in.

Very nice. I forward it to one of my GMs because it looks like two of the players characters might get disappeared in short order.

I sure hope you meant 'characters'.

Did I say players? How careless of me.

What's not shown is sub-level 5 where they keep the prisoners who can teleport. They have to be kept really far down.

Considering how bank vault heists movies go, I'd buffer the underground wall and bottom with an additional floor.

To prevent a siege situation, I'd put an additional stair/elevator at the other end of the guard quarters.

Separate the hanger from the facility. Escapes are too easy when they are that close.

Consider the prison episode of the old Buck Rogers episode Unchained Woman for a breakout scenario.

And for Pete's sake, check all the prisoners for rock hammers.

And it's fitting I find this post on the birthday of my favorite one hit wonder author (ok, 2 hits if you like vampires), John Steakley (RIP).
His 1984 book 'Armor', is the inspiration for both my first ever Traveller character, and also my favorite NPC, that always enters the game via a prison break.

Why do you think I remember that episode?
