The Iron Hive, a space station setting for Mothership RPG

Bogotá D.C., Cundinamarca, November 7th, 2024. The Iron Hive, an extremely densely populated and largely lawless space station will be Wicked Oni Publishing's project for Tuesday Knight Games' first ever Mothership Month event!

How did The Iron Hive came to be?

What started as a promising mining operation on asteroid XY-90, nicknamed by the workers as "Misery Base", suddenly turned into an abandoned project, corporations that once fought corpo-wars over resources fled after an undisclosed discovery (HiveCorp Industries still remains silent about this incident). Groups of scientists came to investigate, escorted by marines, just to follow the same fate.

Having nowhere else to go, the miners and their families endured. Eventually other people found out about HiveCorp Industries' failed project—mercs, criminals and refugees started flocking over the abandoned infrastructure, repurposing resources left behind, shaping this base into a space station.

The coming and going of people and corporations is what gives The Iron Hive it's multi-layered charm. It's denizens are varied, there's people running from the law, criminal syndicates, and bounty hunters—that is to be expected—but you also have the miners that once came here with hopes and dreams, still calling this their home.

The Iron Hive is written with modularity in mind, I don't want people to stress over "getting it wrong", or feeling forced to read everything before they're ready to run it. It's meant and structured to be torn apart and glued back together in any shape or form, your Iron Hive can look completely different from the one in the book and that's fine! Please do your best to enjoy the content and make it yours!
