Decaying Salvage
SteamThousands of light years in deep space.
Awoken to the sounds of alarms, your ship is failing.
You haven't made it home.
Out of the window is a large group of ships. Maybe they can provide help?
Journey through a graveyard of derelict spaceships, harvesting what you can and try figure out why exactly they've been abandoned.

Scan the various ships near you and locate the most important parts to salvage and venture inside. Which systems repair will you prioritise? Artificial gravity, water filtration, or engines?
Be careful where you step, as these ships may not be as abandoned as you thought. Observe ... or run, the choice is yours. Hopefully you make the right one.
Find instructions manuals on each ship and follow them carefully to remove the parts you need - or it may just be the last thing you do.

After finishing her last salvage mission, Jordan entered cryosleep to begin the long journey back to Earth.
Waking to blaring alarms, her ship is in disrepair. Find out why you've been brought to this graveyard of starships, why they're here, how long you were really asleep, and if there's still a home to go back to.
