Mining Disaster

You and your crew are on their way home from and extended mining mission out on the distant rimworlds. Your crew is bringing home the best haul you’ve had in years. On your trip back your on board A.I. suggested an alternate route that will set you back on your return by a few months because of dangerous star activity on the original route. Rather than take the detour you decide to risk this “danger”. For a while all things seem normal.

Alarms begin blaring! Massive solar flairs begin to shut down the on board systems including the engines. Close by you see two stars merging together into one larger star. The stars are sending out massive solar arcs in all directions. One of them hits your ship directly, pushing toward one of the small planets orbiting the stars. Everyone begins scrambling for the escape pod as your ship begins to break apart. You see members of your crew sucked out into space through breaches in the hull as you make it to your escape pod and launch it toward the planet.

Amid constant solar flairs with no way of knowing whether you will ever escape, you must make the choice to risk trying to escape amid the solar activity or decide to build a life for yourselves on this distant rimwolrd.
