You and the crew of your long-haul cargo ship risked a shortcut through an uncharted nebula to save fuel and double profits. Too bad your ship got rocked by a solar flare from a nearby star. Now your navigation and life support are kaput.
You'd be dead long before repairs to the ship could be made, so the only option for survival was to jettison everyone in the escape pods onto the closest habitable planet.
Unfortunately, the planet has higher than standard gravity, and those solar flares will come regularly. You'll move slower, work slower, need to rest more, and your guns will be much less effective at long range. Melee damage will be increased due to the additional force required to strike. Mortars & Transport pods are impossible.
On the plus side, the reflected light from the nebula produces a beautiful, permanent aurora & supplies will be periodically called down from your ship. And hey, maybe the natives will be friendly.
Your faction will be a New Arrivals.
Start with 4 people, chosen from 4.
Your people will be between 21 and 58 years old.
