Marooned on Giri Minor
About an hour later you crest a small hill, and from the top a strange and eerie sight reveals itself to you. Before you is a collection of raggedy buildings still standing despite two centuries' worth of exposure to the elements. The colony was situated in the middle of a broad valley, next to what had no doubt been a wide river, although there is no surface water anywhere to be seen now.
You remember learning about this place, but you never expected to ever be here--and in its ruined state, the colony looks meager and desolate. However, one building does stand next to a tower that could very well be a hyperspace signal transmitter. But off to the south, about a kilometer outside the colony, sits something you never expected to see: a collection of small spacecraft!
Commander Andrade scans the valley with her WristComp, and from where you stand you can read the holographic display as well as she can. "No people, no power," she says. "I can't tell if there is any equipment out there or not. That tower in the colony might be promising, but if those are naval shuttlecraft down to the south, who knows what tech we might find waiting for us?"
