VENTURE
Free Trader

Venture is a Privateer-class light freighter designed to haul cargo or passengers. This class of vessel is easily modified and has proven very popular with independent traders (and smugglers) throughout known space. Like many independently-operated freighters, Venture has been modified to support a handful of offensive systems. The weapons are meant to dissuade pirates, but they can also serve to fend off over-zealous customs agents should the need arise.

This progress-level six vessel is 140 ft. long and can be operated by a crew of two, though quarters are provided for six. The command section can detach from the main hull to serve as a launch or escape pod, and the cargo modules can be replaced by hangar bays or even passenger compartments. Versatility is the name of the game with the Venture.  For those who value speed over storage space, the Volatus-class variant is provided. This has no side modules and adds a couple of additional engines instead.

The .zip file contains the following:

  • Overview
    • 18 page PDF file detailing the ship, interior locations, and personnel.
    • Open Game License stats provided for the vessel, crew, and command pod (which can detach from the main hull).
  • Map Book
    • Full-color 20 page PDF file containing complete interior maps.
    • Includes alternate configurations (cargo bays, flight decks, & passenger modules).
    • Also includes miniature-scale maps for tactical combat.
    • Broken into pages for easy printing.
  • Printer friendly, black and white version of the map book.
  • Composite map of the ship interior.
    • A 24x30 inch, 150 dpi, color JPEG image for Venture.
    • A 24x30 inch, 150 dpi, color JPEG image for the Volatus variant.
  • "Bonus Art" directory with additional views of the ship and launch.

Starfinder stats, demo documents, and art are available free at 0-hr.com

Like the Morningstar, this second installment of Future Armada is meant to serve as a ready-made vessel for use by either players or game masters. It is also intended to be easily adapted to other progress levels and game systems. Capitalize on this opportunity and the Venture should prove to be a profitable addition to any campaign!

Another amazing product. These are the best ships I have seen designed for any SciFi game. I need to collect the whole line for my Serenity campaign. All these ships fit in perfectly with little rework. (There is even a site that has some of these ship [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
