Roll 1d6, ignoring results of 4+ for the first 2 checks.

|

- An encounter check is typically rolled once every other day, but the referee may choose to make more checks (ex: when near a [port](#portals) or [outpost](#outposts)), up to 1 per day (or even 1 per phase).
|

- The chance of encountering a wandering creature is typically 1-in-6 in the deep astral, 2-in-6 near other ports or outposts.

**Distance**: Wandering creatures are encountered 4d6 × 10 yards away. If either side is surprised (see Encounters), this is reduced to 1d4 × 10 yards.

**Location**: Astral encounters may occur either in the open astral plane or on land (such as a fragment, island, or dock), if the party lands or docks at some point during the day.

3. **Locality**: Some environmental or external event that affects the PCs - psychic storm, fragment, etc.
|

4. **Pilot / Ship Issue**: Pilot / power source exhaustion or some other ship complication, takes 1d6 shifts to resolve and resume travel (50% chance the ship will have to remain in dock for 1d6 phases to make additional repairs).

5. **Lose Direction**: Each phase spent moving in the wrong direction adds 1d4-1 additional phases of travel.

- Astral encounters between ships usually start 1400 + (1d6 x 100) yards out (about a mile, the distance at which two ships will pull each other out of travel speed).

- Wandering creatures are encountered 4d6 × 10 yards away, and are usually not surprised by astral vessels.

**Frequency of Check**
|

|

- In the deep astral, check once every other day (once per every 6 phases).

- Near an outpost or port (within 1-2 days travel), check once per day, or even once per phase (for busy outposts).

- An astral cruiser cannot travel by currents while within 1 mile of another active vessel or large astral body (like an island).

- If a cruiser comes within a mile of a large astral object while traveling. it will automatically reduce its speed to normal movement (in yards).
