Jessie Tabris, who was bred on a generation ship to be a sex worker (he's got the gen-mod pheromones to prove it) is now a mercenary crew leader with the Dead Suns. But that's my pet peeve, and shouldn't distract from a really good flip-mat.Fighting for their independent lives - ARC review
I will quibble over the title, as "Starship: The Sunrise Maiden" is clunky, and asymmetrical to other flip-mats in the line (i.e., we don't have a "Building: Hospital" or "Planet: Jungle World" flip-mat because we assume people can figure out what stuff is). How much I would have loved to have something like this back when I ran Star Wars campaigns! Although parties may modify their ships across the course of the campaign, I could see this being the setting for all sorts of encounters and, even apart from that, I think it's important for players to be able to visualise the place their PCs spend weeks and months on as they travel across the stars. There's also a "recreation suite," though I didn't realise that's what it was from the visual depiction. The flip-mat depicts everything you'd expect a ship of this size to have: the bridge, a couple of airlocks, a (fairly large) engine room, bathrooms, escape pods, two mostly empty cargo bays, a briefing room, toilets and showers, and enough beds for seven crewmembers (though there's only six escape pods-uh oh!). The other side, probably the more important one, has the full interior of the vessel. You could use this for a "Stormtroopers are setting up the E-Web while Han runs for the gangplank" scenario, or (with a little more imagination) any sort of EVA mission on the outer hull of the ship.
One side of the flip-mat shows the port side of the ship from above as the vessel is at rest in a docking bay. The Sunrise Maiden is a pretty cool ship that's perfectly-sized for an adventuring party, and could be used as a stand-in for most PC ships in any science-fiction campaign. Starship: The Sunrise Maiden is (I think) the first oversized flip-mat in the Starfinder line, akin to the "Bigger" flip-mats in the Pathfinder line.
