IPPS Botany Bay ? Castigation Class Penal Ship provides a history, D20 future stats, deckplans, and 25mm map tiles for the Botany Bay, a penal ship (a prisoner transport in this case). An autorun executable is provided, which runs when the CD is inserted. The autorun program opens a webpage interface with links to the D20 Future stats and info, in PDF form, in color, as well as PDFs of the deckplans & map tiles, in both color and greyscale.
The ship is a long spinal type, featuring a front command section, a long middle section, to which are attached the two oblong transport pods, and the rear engine section. The transport pods can be of two types, the Cell pod, which features 20 cells and a common area able to accommodate 40 prisoners. Then there is the Stasis Pod, which carries 222 prisoners in stasis pods in an un-pressurized area.
The D20 Future stats for the starship are in a 7 page color PDF with a short history section, and stats for the ship and its weapons. The maps and 25mm map tiles are done as two PDFs, one color and one grayscale. The graphics used for the furnishings and textures of the ship map are sharp and vibrant and look quite good. The deck plans are numbered with short descriptions of each area of the ship.
This is a solid offering, providing a ready to use starship for use in a D20 Future game. Either a prison break or other scenario would be well served by using these deck plans.
