The planet Asmodeus is recovering from a nuclear war.
It has only about 20,000 inhabitants left. It seems to me to be a great place to have an adventure (as long as one avoids the Zhodani authorities and mutants!)
The tech level of the planet has been generally reduced to sometime around 1900 or so, but there is some mass production on the planet, so pockets of tech are still to be found. The rest of the economy seems to be farming.... and barely above subsistence levels.
The Travellers could try to trade foodstuffs or tech, but I don't think that they will get much in the way of Credits. An emergency landing scenario would be cool, if you make the ship drop out of jump near the planet. Getting the characters into Zhodani space may be the most difficult proposition..... but I could see the Imperium contacting the Travellers for a mission OR perhaps the Travellers could be drawn into Zhodani space by illicit Psionics training or some such hook.
You could have an area of Asmodeus run by tech scavengers and wild bands of men ala Mad Max for some fun! They would be isolationists and generally off the radar of the Zhodani government because they are considered a "minor" concern.
Whatever the Referee chooses, One Night On Asmodeus may prove to be the Travellers' last!
