The blare of the emergency sirens echoes through the metal corridors as the crew rushes toward the **Escape Pod Launch Bay**. This tactical battlemap depicts the critical evacuation zone of a starship or orbital station, featuring four ready-to-launch spherical escape pods housed within heavily reinforced launch tubes. Tactically, the map provides dynamic chokepoints at the blast door entrances, forcing approaching hostiles—whether boarding space pirates or terrifying xenomorphs—into narrow lines of sight. The airlock controls and emergency jettison levers offer interactive environmental elements for the Game Master, allowing characters to seal doors, vent compartments, or desperately launch pods before they are fully loaded. Use this map for a climactic campaign finale, a desperate retreat from a failing space station, or a tense standoff where the party must hold the line while non-combatants evacuate the doomed vessel.
