-Nodes-
A Few Assumptions About the Galaxy
While designed to be system agnostic, Karl's rules strongly imply
a theme for the sessions in which these derelicts are used:
The galaxy is harsh.
Its people scramble to find even one valuable piece of old tech,
from debris indicative that whoever sent out these ships in the
first place didn't have their crew's best interest in mind.
Derelicts are massive.
Even the smallest ships housed hundreds of thousands of people.
Some ships were the transportation for entire colonies or
corporations.
Someone survived.
The derelict's fate still hangs in the balance. Dramatic
differences in travel time in space could mean that this derelict
could have come from any time in the past. Maybe the ship failed
yesterday. Maybe a meager few crewmen scrape by on the supplies
originally designated for a few thousand.

You'll need to draw your own lines connecting the nodes as you see fit or as the fiction dicates.
