RANDOM SHIP ENCOUNTER TABLES

This chart, adapted from The Far Orbit Project, is ideal for coming up with spaceborne encounters on the fly. I'm in the process of adding links to each entry with a brief description, game statistics, crew skills, and so forth; when finished, this should be extremely useful to any campaign with a lot of space travel.
