I had an idea for gming a game about a Scum Barge arriving at a seemingly abandoned colony. Hilarity and Horror ensue. What I have in mind is something a bit more like Event Horizon than Gilligan's Island. With a touch of The Black Hole, Saturn 3, and The Cassini Division. I have decided against having the low wage hotel maids and maintenance folks being Techo Techo Cthulu worshippers. I am certain everyone is heartbroken. | I had an idea for gming a game about a Scum Barge arriving at a seemingly abandoned colony. Hilarity and Horror ensue.

Hilton Saturn Station has a torus wheel for the tourists, sitting on a spike tower, stuck into an icy potato of a moonlet. Looks like a cocktail umbrella stuck into a big pile of dirty ice. The tourist torus has spin for artificial gee. The Main docking center is at the Hub at the spike above the torus, The Hub does not rotate and is in micro gee. The Spike tower is some 600 meters long/tall, and the torus some 400 meters in diameter. | Hilton Saturn Station has a torus wheel for the tourists, sitting on a spike tower, stuck into an icy potato of a moonlet.

It's a dump, but it's a NICE dump by post-fall Saturn system standards.
