Author’s Note
The Cypher System is the perfect choice to run any sort of ves-
sel-based campaign or encounter. With the simplicity and flexibility
of actions, combat, and difficulty levels, a naval encounter could be
as simple or sophisticated as you (the GM) wish.
When attempting to apply a naval concept to Numenera, you are
left with a lot of choices and can easily get lost between the myriad
ideas and options. In this supplement, I hope that you will find a
number of methodologies that will suit your needs to handle vessels
of any kind; ranging from artifacts that provide personal transport to
encounters involving fleets of vessels taking battling over the skies
and seas.
In this supplement, the term “naval” is used as a general categori-
zation of any sort of object that can transport people or cargo through
the use of a propulsion mechanism (be it laboring creatures, alche-
my, or numenera). This definition leaves GMs free to manipulate the
content laid forth in this supplement as they see fit to best suit their
campaigns, play styles, and player preferences.
In addition, attached to this supplement is the free-to-the-public
Naval Perils, which will provide you with locations, creatures, and
sample vessels that you can use in any sort of campaign, even one
that doesn’t involve ships.
I hope you enjoy the content that is laid forth in this supplement
and Naval Perils. So get ready to sail the skies, sands, and seas, and
delve into the vessels of the Ninth World.

Introduction
Vessels provide a valuable asset to any developing society and civ-
ilization. As the city’s ability to send and recieve goods expands, its
people benefit from the quick spread of ideas, wealth and innova-
tions. These may be angles you wish to explore in your campaign.
However, before you do so, you should determine how your players
will interact with the transportation options that are available around
them. This book will provide insights for GMs at every level of in-
volvement.
