Been talking about ways to take a Sci-Fi movie/show and do it in a Traveller

they limits of Traveller have been exceeded? yes!
Pitch Black (the first movie with Riddick but not Chronicles of..) is very
much Traveller compatible.
A star ship crashes on a remote place, with no help to be expected. Check
The reasons for the characters to be on the ship. Check
One character has Night/Dark Vision and propably additional advantages or
raised attributes. Check (in Traveller most likely due to genetic
engeneering)
Mysterious aggressive beasts live there. Check.
The plot itself is not easily convertable to an RPG adventure though,
because you'd either have a PC/NPC split in the group, or you have only
pcs and have to kill a lot of them.
The necromongers are a universe shattering threat and that is IMO
counterindicated in Traveller. Converting the plot to what happens just on
one world (or what happens just in one subsector) but has not real
influence elsewhere is not trivial.
The last one is on a managable one world scale again.
