You were a merchant aboard the S.S Dionysus, a food and supply ship heading to sector 100,100, 100 light years up and 100 to the right. Locally known as the "Omega" sector, as it is the last human settlement before the hostile life and conditions of the sectors beyond. The planets of its solar system are all barren making the inhabitants live underground, though mining is easy getting food for the military bases is rather difficult as they can only supply enough for themselves. You, however, can bring a few years food at a time to this sector.
But then it all went wrong. You were traveling just past sector 99,99, almost exactly a light year from your starting point, when the ships computer shut down. The lights turned off. Everything electronic had shut down. The captain and crew men told everyone it was just a solar flair... But you aren't so sure. The ships backup should be working if that was true...
Then the ship started shaking. You hear the guards yelling. You hear the backup powder guns going off. That is no good, you think, the guards are decent fighters, but they are used to having electronic weapons with electronic help in aiming and firing. You know what is inevitable...You run to your escape pod. You aim for the nearest planet. You launch.
In the next five minutes, every one else fallows suite. The guards abandoned there guns when they heard the ship's emergency siren going off. The hull had been breached. After the five minutes, the ship exploded. The only survivors are the ones who jumped to the escape pods. Now you are alone and heading for a potentially hostile planet...
