"Welcome to Startropic Corporation luxury Starliner, we hope you enjoy your stay as we tour the galaxy in the wonderful State of the Art Starliner 'SS Orion'.
Rest easy, as our friends from the Glittertachyon Security will keep us safe from any and all threats.
So from all the crew, we hope you enjoy the ride. Captain Signing off."
Five friends on a 'Startropic Corporation' vacation from their Glitterworld home were enjoying themselves on the cruise. With their lives in the hands of Glittertachyon Security, they fully believed that they were safe, and at the end of the journey they would return home. How wrong they were.
Archotech Automated Defenses were one threat they had not prepared for. Thus as the emergency protocols were being enacted, the five of them went to the escape pods in a panic leaving behind everything.
Note: Your five survivors were from a cruise, therefore they have only the items on their backs and whatever money they had in their pockets. And since they are from a Glitterworld Colony, they never needed to gain an education in their lives. Therefore research will be slow. They, will be slow. Good Luck
