Or, it may switch to a time in the future where the ship is much more corrupted and is infested with a variety of monsters.

I want to give a shout to to Jan Veenendaal. He has a web site that I used to create the stat blocks I used in this adventure. Here is how he describes it:

I created a website where you can create statblocks really easy: you enter the texts, the site does all the formatting. It will allow you to create PNG files, and a few other formats.

The site is free, does not collect data (everything stays on your computer), and is completely open source. Also, it is fine to publish whatever you create using it under Wizards’ Fan Content policy.

The site’s address is:  https://statblockwizard.github.io
