THE SETTING

You are a mercenary stranded on a mysterious planet inhabited by odd creatures and rundown machinery. The expedition team that you were a part of has been annihilated after an attack by a highly sophisticated drone armed with alien weaponry. Abandoned warp gates, autonomous defense systems and other technological marvels indicate that at least one highly advanced civilization has inhabited this planet before. But to you, only one thing matters: to find a way to escape from this planet.
