The ship fell apart. The pieces left a magnificent streak as they burned through the unknown planet's atmosphere. Only three passengers were able to reach the escape pods in time, that is as far as the survivors knew. There could be others.

The parachutes opened. The three pods opened, exposing the three unfortunate passengers to the distant rim world,  a desolate planet of which little is known, part of thousands upon thousands of other worlds at the edge of human influence. Here are the survivor profile documentations:

-Benard Weeks, age 37
Benard grew up as an urchin in a region capital. It was a huge bustling city, too large to be safely controlled. After a tough childhood, Benard found passage to a medieval world. There we worked as a farm oaf until he was offered a chance to travel to a wealthy star system. Benard seized the opportunity, hoping to start a new life as a businessman. 

Benard is not bright by any means, but he is proud of his agricultural knowledge and also handles pain well.



-Jill Davila, age 39
Jill also grew up in a bustling industrial city as an urchin. However she found success in the urban world, living life as an entrepreneur and a part-time artist. She boarded the SS Aurora for a distant business convention.

Jill has artificial legs ever since she was 22. In an unfortunate factory malfunction, her legs had to be amputated. 




-Wendy Choi, age 34
Like the others, she was an urbworld urchin. Born weak, she was luckily hired as a navy scientist at age 17. She continued working for the navy and was on transit to a new research facility.

Wendy is also a selfless donor, who always loves helping other poor urchins.






The three woke up to the harsh new world. What will they do?
