Written on an electronic pad found in an escape pod....
The Sunset Horizon was a cruise ship that was traveling through the Vega Delphi System. It contained all sorts of luxurious amenities for all different social strata. Different sections of the ship were closed off depending on the package that you purchased being Extravagant, High, Middle, and Low Class. The ship was large enough to accommodate all these factions without having any collide unexpectedly (Unfortunate lawsuits abound the last time that had happened). The Ysrendele Company prefers to maximize profits and makes sure that everyone is happy within their own clusters with plenty to do.
While on a routine flyby of the planet Vega Delphi Prime within the system, a planet that is known to have hostile animal life on it, but makes for good tours in small shuttle crafts for the passengers, something happened. We don't know what, but it was called for all hands to abandon ship and we did. Shortly thereafter the ship fell out of the sky and ripped into pieces. Some of the larger pieces actually landed intact on the planet surface.
Who knows when we'll be able to get help. But all I know is that once we make sure that we survive, I'm going to figure out what happened with the ship, you can count on that.

-------------------------------
The year is 2236 and humanity has spread to the stars. There have been ups and downs in human history, but here and now, you have come to relax. No matter if you are high class and low class, it is time to vacation on the space cruise ship Sunset Horizon. The ship has been in service for 10 years and every mission has been successful....except this one. Something went wrong while the ship was nearing Vega Delphi Prime in the Vega Delta System, causing all hands, crew, and vacation goers to abandon ship. Now, with your fellows, you must work together to survive, or compete against each other for resources. Some of you might hate each other, the rich hating the poor, the poor hating the crew, or something else inbetween.

The sky over the planet below was all abuzz as escape pods came flying down to the surface. It was a dangerous world, one not meant for humans. But that would not stop those that needed to land in order to survive the complete destruction of their ship.
Vega Delphi Prime was filled with creatures both deadly and bizarre. It was normally protected from poachers and pirates by a laser cannon defense grid. But the rumors circulated after the crash that some saw those very same cannons turn on the Sunset Horizon instead. Something that should not have happened unless it was sabotage.
These Passengers, crew, and otherwise would have to take all they can muster to survive until rescue. The world is a harsh environment and will not take it easy on any of these newcomers.
So begins the journey of Survival with the first steps of those exiting the escape pods into their new lands.

**19: Elias (Cortova)**
*A Lush plains next to verdant waterfall and lake.*
As the people exit out of the escape pod, they see vibrant purple plains. Small chittering sounds can be heard from under the grass, but any time anyone gets close, whatever they are scurries away.
The waterfall is a clear blue, churning sweetly into the lake below. Creatures that look like fish seem to be swimming around in the clear waters and the sounds of cawing flying bird like creatures can be heard. They occasionally land near the lake and take sips of the water. But often fly away before anyone can get a good look at them.
**18: Kloudy (William), Mechking (George)**
*The pod will land in a wide open grassy plain with a nearby mountain that looks like it has a cavern entrance.*
As people get out of the pod and look around, they have landed in the middle of an orange field of “grass”. Some of the “grass” have white bulbs on the top which give off a rather foul odor.
The cavern itself, seems like it is completely dry and seems to be labyrinth like deeper in. Echoes gather endlessly when spoken inside the cavern depths. It should be wonderful protection should there be rains.
**17: Lucas (Fletcher), Hiram (Royce)**
*The pod will be landing in a Verdant Forest near a Giant Lake.*
The pod lands within a Blue forest. Trees that tower up over their heads by at least two stories in height. Strange squirrel like creatures skitter from tree to tree. They seem to have 8 limbs, 4 eyes and two tails. Observing them, shows that they go after some purple grapes(?) and scurry away inside the trees.
The Lake is a deep green color as though it is some sort of sea moss growing on the top layer. Every once in a while, an eye stalk can be seen quickly poking up out of the green and then just as quickly diving back under.
**16: Auriel (Enver), Moopus (Friedrich)**
*A dark, verdant Forest that has protection from the nearby heat.*
The pod lands in a Lavender forest that seems to be incredibly thick, not letting in much light at all. Looking around, nothing big, plantwise, seems to be growing on the ground floor. However, the forest seems to be nice and cool, a change of pace from what you were expecting.
Crawling around the canopy floor are strange gray quadruped creatures that seem to have all hands instead of feet. Their heads just consist of two large fully black eyes. They seem to pay your people no mind.

**13: Deth (Sergeant Darling), Lightning (Jax)**
*Your pod will be landing on a tropical island that seems to have lush grasslands and a dense forest*
The pod lands on a tropical island. The weather is very warm and as they land, the passengers can see bipedal gray and black striped lemur like creatures awkwardly run into the dense orange forest.
Crashing waves land on the beach which continues to wash up red, spiky shells.
The grasslands are made up of Yellow thin fronds that sway carelessly in the breeze as the cooing of strange four winged bird type creatures fly by at fast speeds.

**8: Sully (Horatio), Deer (Elena)**
*The Zoo will crash land on an endless grassy plain at the edge of a desert.*
The Grassy Plane is a beautiful vibrant Dark Green. Strange skittering sounds can be heard from underneath the grass. But so far, any of your animals that have started wandering around there haven’t yet had any issues with the noise.
The Zoo’s outer shell took some damage in the crash and now many parts of the dome are open to the planet’s sky. This could become an issue when it rains.
There is a nice and pleasant breeze from the winds. They seem gentle. But also, they seem to be continuous and pushing towards the direction of the desert.
**7:**
*???*
**6: Cosmo (Ari), Tarantula (Julia)**
*The Pod will be landing near a small oasis in the desert.*
The Pods land carefully within an oasis. A small smattering of strange but small furry creatures scatter from the water into the desert at the sight of the pods. The oasis is carefully shaded with plenty of trees that look like palm trees. They are covered in a Thick Orange Fur(?) and seem to have a star shaped fruit growing from the branches that are Bright Red.
The water in the oasis looks clear blue and must come from some sort of underground spring.
**5:** Dest (Leonard)
* The pod will be landing in a valley that is overgrown with THICK Red Vines*
The Pod lands safely in the valley. The first thing they notice is the vines. They are along the walls and even the ground. They are THICK, Hard, and make it difficult to walk around. However, the walls of the valley look very sturdy and should help give some protection from predators.
The Vines seem kind of insidious though. Within a few hours, they began to grow onto the escape pod. The passengers discovered that the newly grown vines are easily removed, its just an annoying hassle. Also, that they probably shouldn't sleep on the ground.
**4: Croc (Zoban), Forged (Kyle)**
*The pod will be landing in a Swamp that is surrounded by deep, dark forest.*
The pod lands in the middle of a deep, dark forest. However, it wasn’t until they landed, that they realized that they had landed in a swamp. The trees were a dark purple and there was the loud chittering of animals in this area.
The mud was a blackish hue and would occasionally bubble.
As soon as the escape pod was fully settled, a shuttle craft crash landed nearby. It was damaged, not only from the crash, but also from weapons fire. But it could be repaired with enough focus and supplies.
**3:**
*???*
**2: Scatter (Basil)**
*Your Pod crash lands into a verdant Jungle. The plants are very VIBRANT colors.*
The pod carefully lands in the jungle. It is made up of all the colors of the rainbow and seemed very much alive. All the plants seemed to occasionally move. Whether it was the wind or because they actually could move, who knew?
What they did know was that a plant that was a Golden Hue would take pot shots at them with sharp needles.
They could see large predators occasionally peeking out from the foliage. But none have made a move…yet.
**1: Kent (Lord Gloom), Birb (Kentucky), Twist (Frederick)**
*Lord Gloom's pod will be landing in the middle of the desert, in between multiple sand dunes.*
The three pods land in the middle of the desert, in between multiple sand dunes. Looking around, there doesn’t seem to be much. Just an endless expanse of desert in all directions. They don’t seem to be near any discernible landmarks.
At least the pods can be a place to keep out of the heat. But once the supplies run out, they will be in trouble.
—---------------------------------------
RULES: Every Player gets two actions a turn.
This will represent One Week In game.
Each ONE unit of supplies will be used up per 10 people per turn.
If you run out of edible supplies, NPCs will leave your faction to try to survive elsewhere.
If you go more than One Turn without having any food, your character WILL DIE.
This is a HIGH STAKES game with a large chance of DEATH on a world that wants to kill you.
Good luck.
