It was the heart of the world, despite being at its edge. A chaotic sprawl that reached for miles, holding on for their life.



The ancient colonists knew there was never an option of returning home. So when they found their target world a dead rock, panic ensued. Only one place on this world had the conditions necessary for survival: Oxygen and access to water. Clinging to the edge over a crater filled with primitive algae, they survived, but the harshness of these conditions eventually reflected on their culture. The colonists were thrown back into the middle ages. Descendants of the ship's security forces gained political power in the aftermath. While material from the ship was used to construct plumbing and water purification systems, access to the remnants of the ship's technology was limited to the common people. For four hundred years contact with the rest of humanity was cut off.



Before the newer FTL technologies became available to the common public, access to the stars was limited. These were the dark ages of interstellar exploration.
