The only driving factor behind this map was that I felt like making a sci-fi battlemap.
At the time of writing, I haven't yet used it in gameplay, but I enjoyed making it.

Given that this map was created without a campaign or setting in mind, the only real theme is that it's a scientific research base that investigates the lava on this planet. Likely they analyze it to determine its mineral and gaseous content to further geological research or perhaps to determine if corporate mining of these minerals would be cost efficient.
I wanted the ground and bridge to look hot and scorched, and ensured that the roofs of the habs were strewn with ash as well. The habs were clearly built with the heat in mind, however, as the interiors are comfortable working and living spaces, with a miniature reactor in an outbuilding. Airlocks keep any poisonous gases from entering the habs.
