You where at the height of your life. You where a star. A hero. An explorer. But now...

It has been almost a year. You and a hundred men and women on a revolutionary ship, the Columbus 5000, traveling to Nebula 15, the furthest any traveler has ever made. Seven planets circled the sun, three of which are said to be able to support life with minimal terraform. They where supposed to be paradise. They are nearly ten light years away, but that is where your revolutionary ship comes in. Once it was a good five solar units away from the dock, it used a gravity drive to literally bend space enough to not only slow down time, but cross vast distances. Or that is what you heard in the news. It was supposed to use some kind of small item with near infinite density, a black hole was it? You don't remember. It simply wasn't important now. The drive seemed to work, for a few seconds. Then the engine collapsed in on it's self. Not only was the gravity drive broken, but the normal engine was also disabled. And worse, you where many light years from where you entered the gravity drive. Even worse, you where hurtling toward an unknown planet. Your captain assured you that everything was under control and told you to go to the sleeping tubes. You where put in an artificial sleep. That was a year ago, according to your neat digital watch. The only thing that seemed to have survived the atmosphere... Besides your pod and a large amount of scrap. Perhaps some of your crew members survived, perhaps not. But for the moment you just look at the large red sun and think "What the hell just happened?"
