In the shadow of the Claw Nebula to the Kikyo Sector's spinward north, there is a planet known only as The Pit... The air is breathable but the weather dense, and worst of all, there are intense electromagnetic spikes and gravitational eddies, that can twist any encroaching starship to pieces. Nobody sane would make a settlement there, but pirates, criminals and lost souls are sometimes forced down, running from Yamatai or Nepleslian authorities.
The surface is littered with hundreds of such shuttle wrecks, the former vessels of freaks and aberrant creatures from all across the cosmos. It might just be possible to create an escape route from such parts- But that doesn't mean other isolated and desperate survivors are just going to let them walk in and take it!
~~~~~
The general concept of this is short-form plot is to accept almost any kind of player character, with minimal preparation. You could consider it a "day in the lives" of those random Rixxikor or other aliens that the Star Army generally deals with weeding out, but you could also enter with a humanoid character that wouldn't normally fit in with SARP military standards.
Wanna join, but it's already started? Cool, you're just another random buckaroo who crashed down there.
If they actually get off the planet?... Well, we'll see where if goes from there.
The main previsions I'm gonna keep as a GM are randomly rolling for aliens/situations/loot the party encounters, and having particularly nasty locals/wildlife spawn if things are getting a bit dodgy in player interaction terms. As long as somebody doesn't bring power armour or a tank, it's fine... Even then it might be negotiable.
But yeah, maximum character acceptability. I'm all ears if people have other ideas or general input.
