Annic Nova Deckplans

[AlHazred]

I love the classic adventure Annic Nova, and it was a real joy to introduce the scenario to the players of my Traveller Hero campaign. Anyway, I wanted to make a few changes to the ship to reflect my use of her (I'm making her a one-off design from an advanced Droyne world in the Vargr Extents). I've seen tons of Scout ship and Merchant trader designs online, but not the Annic Nova. Has anyone done this in a mapmaking program format?

I don't know about deckplans, but there is an excellent CGI of the Annic being investigated by a sulieman scout. I'm not sure where it was or who did it, but if you want it I could dig it out of my HD and zap it to you.

Here's an interesting graphic of the Annic Nova from the port stern quarter.

There are a couple of other AN pics there, including the one Thing mentioned.

Yeah, I used those, they're absolutely stunning. But I was hoping to get the deckplans as opposed to doing them over from scratch.

nada, but if you have access to a scanner, you could scan the deckplans from the book/adventure then export them to a JPG or BMP file.

then load it up in MSPaint and edit it to your liking (maybe make a backup first).

while not a great/sophisticated program, it should allow you to delete or white-out portions and then add in straight lines and Text.

then you print that out and you've got your new deckplans.

should be good for a one-off/homegrown adventure.

I used CC2 (Campaign Cosmographer) to do Deck Plans a year or so ago. Naturally they've vanished.

Blame SolSec, the zhodani or the hivers.

The AN wasn't a huge ship, it shouldn't be too hard to map it out with some fre mapping software.

Some free programs even come with traveller stamps.

I remember reading once that it was originally meant to be the other way up but they printed Winchell Chung's drawing upside down on the cover - or something like that. I've always hated the way they retconned what was clearly supposed to be engines into ship's launches.

They're *both*

This is the explaination which appears in the intro to the JTAS Issues 1-12 reprint.

I'm using the pods as salvaged modular cutters the builders discovered and incorporated into their design. They work really well that way, and allow for some interesting foibles to creep in that the PCs haven't really discovered yet.

 

[The Thing]

Was it ever revealed who built the AN, how old she was, etc?

The JTAS issue it was in had a feature on Victoria/Lanth and area 13 on the ship has a map of Victoria. I think that there is a slight implication that it came from or was heading to Victoria.

I also seem to recall that there are childs drawings of "humanoids" and that the library data includes Vargr for no reason at all. That always combined the two in my mind to make the ship of Vargr origin.

There was a room with a TV like thing that showed a recording of hairless humanoids so make of that what you will.

I believe the plotline that included th Annic Nova discontinued, as it was before the history of the Traveller cosmos was more clearly established. I'm using the ship as a Droyne one-off design, which I believe is a common modification.

I use it as a "Forerunner" vessel, with self-repair nano-tech. Really annoys players when they install the drive on another hull, and it slowly gets reworked by the microbots into the AN... hehehe...

It might make for a good plotline along this post
