Salvaging the Plague Planets

You know the ones I mean, those planets that never had a name, nor a date that it was colonized, nor any other information that an established planet had in the setting. Instead they just had a Greek letter designation and the pronouncement that any ship lifting off from said planet would be destroyed by Space Fleet with no questions asked. Sort of a &quot;here there be dragons- you cant go there&quot;<br /><br />Well, not to re-open the debate on Zebs but what if we salvaged the plague systems in the setting?<br />Write in the plague and quarrentine of those systems, give them names and jump routes and displaced populations living on Cass in Devco system. There would be lots to salvage on those planets. Sporadic survivors that will try to beg, borrow or steal a way off the planets. Space fleet patrols trying to stop ships lifting off and black market connections to sell loot at places like Outer Reach and the Capella system.<br />Competing junkers/salvagers that have even fewer scruples than you.<br /><br />Possible mutagenic effects and infections (less like gamma world than that sounds) could even bring in mentalism if so desired. <br /><br />sort of a junkers salvage campaign set in the Frontier<br /><br />Treasure to be found would be maps of the planet and or cities, directories of medical supply houses and labs, abandoned military equipment, gold, jewelry, etc.<br /><br />this would actually require a campaign/setting book or modules that while having a linked set of scenarios would develop a significant piece of the setting ie 1 plague world/ module. <br /><br />ideas &amp; opinions?
