When asking in spaceport bars and other places, travellers may here a variety of rumours. Some may be rumours they are seeking, others may not.

This has 100 different rumours primarily about the Solomani Rim. They can be used as background colour, misdirection or adventure hooks.

To use the list, either roll d100 for a random result or select appropriate ones manually.

Here are some sample results:

51. Sirius in the Dingir subsector of the Solomani Rim has seen a number of anti-Imperial incidents, from so-called accidents befalling LSP executives to sabotage and attacks on personnel. Sirius is also the site of hundreds of damaged or obsolete warships and merchant vessels too damaged or obsolete to keep in service. It’s rumoured that parts from some of these ships, such as weapons, have been disappearing, possibly being shipped to Solomani supporters.

52. Sithuan Hsarr in the Vega subsector of the Solomani Rim is a Vegan experimental colony, where Vegans themselves are working under artificial gravity on a world that would otherwise be too high a gravity for Vegans to live. It’s rumoured that the colony has suffered problems recently with its gravitic technology, resulting in some injuries amongst the Vegans. It’s also said that the Vegans believe that SolSec is behind the incidents, wanting to make sure that Vegans are unable to live on some of the worlds that Solomani can.

53. Smade’s Planet in the Gemini subsector of the Solomani Rim was bombarded by the Imperial Navy after a project intended to engineer animals to better withstand the planet’s pollen-rich atmosphere was accidentally identified as a biological weapons programme. However, there’s a rumour that the intelligence wasn’t as inaccurate as thought. It’s said that there was a biological weapons programme on the planet, but the research programme was being used to hide it. The weapons programme was hidden at another site and escaped the saturation bombardment intact.
