The Barrington Tor is—or rather was—a corporate transport ship used by Nebula Vista Corporation to ferry high value cargo and representatives across the frontier. When the ship went missing two weeks ago, it made interstellar news.
Last week a satellite located its remains on the dark side of Loridian (in the Kassel System), and an expensive search was undertaken by local rescuers who failed to find survivors (they had to use remote recon drones equipped with lifeform scanners, since radiation was too high in the area for a foot-based search). Today Nebula Vista Corp ordered the search ended and sadly sent news to the families of the eight beings lost in that crash, citing failure in the nav computer as the likely root cause of the accident, killing all aboard. Reparation to the families is underway.
The radiation has died down in the area of the crash to allow for safe search. Some of you were approached because you had experience with crashed spaceship or with finding missing crew members (Sam and Mesec), others because you are local (Q's Yasirian), and the others, well, for some other areas of expertise that you posses...
You have been on Loridian for some time now, having been hired by Nebula Vista Corporation. Two weeks ago, you heard that a corporate transport ship, the Barrington Tor was lost. Las week, pieces of it were identified via satellite in a rocky region on the dark side of this side-locked world. An exhaustive search of the site revealed no survivors and was concluded today.
As members of the Nebula Vista troubleshooting division (a nice way of saying sub-contractors), you've been given your mission orders. Your objective: locate and retrieve the Barrington tor's flight recorder and return it to the labs at NVC headquarters. Technicians hope to analyze it and learn what happened to the ship and crew.
Since you've been together for a little while, feel free to introduce your characters. You are currently in the office of your employer, a female Novim of the name of Sepra Vemm as she is currently discussion the details of your mission.
"Of course, we will be lending you a hover car to drive to the generic area of the crash. The drive should take approximately 11 hours. Eventually, the terrain should become too rough for the hover car, so you will have to proceed on foot. You do possess plenty of survival gear, right?"
Also, since you've been here for a while, you can all roll a single d10 for any rumors you might have heard about the place...
