Crashed Empire

As the imperial ship you served on was being shot down by deserters you rushed to the nearest escape pod. A motley assortment of your fellow crewmates awaited you there: a low-level officer, a medic, and a ship's guard. As you fell the escape pod was shot and the emergency drop pods were deployed.
Most of you landed in the same place, but a few of the members of your pod are missing. You will have to decide if you are going to attempt to rejoin the Imperial Fleet, or make your own way on this hostile world. Before doing that though, you'll have to survive the wreckage from the continuing battle going on above you.

Note: Since you were unable to prepare you have very few supplies, so this will be a difficult start early on.

Your faction will be a New Arrivals.
Start with 4 people.
Your people will be between 18 and 45 years old.
Arrive in drop pods.
