During the middle interstellar period of human space travel, the logistical struggles of maintaining vast integalactic empires began to cause many colony worlds to fail en masse. The richest of these worlds simply moved to other nearby populated planets, with everyone else left to fend for themselves.
One of the solutions they invented were dark drops, in which ships full of middle-class workers, tradesmen and farmers were evacuated into statis pods on massive automated liferaft ships. These ships were designed to scan for habitable worlds and "seed" them with colonists and the basic supplies they needed to survive.
It was a under engineered, desperate and rough-shod approach to saving their worlds, and many of the seed planets failed before they even started. Errors in the AI caused non-viable pairings of colonists to be deployed. Some colonies waited for critical supplies that never came.
But some... some survived. Some flourished into new worlds. Will you build one of them?
Your faction will be a New Arrivals.
Start with 5 people, chosen from 10.
Your people will be between 25 and 45 years old.
Arrive in drop pods.
