The good ship Spirit of Freedom, a 300 ton trader yacht with Jump 3 capability will experience a tragic misjump Saturday night, putting them in close proximity to the Twisted Earth. They will crash, with extensive damage to the maneuver drives which will require repair before they can lift off this hellish world.
Lost, unsure of where they are either globally or galatically (is that a word?) they'll be initially worried about mere survival in the harsh environment of the Forbidden Lands.
During their unwilling landing they will receive an autorepeating "Signal GK" (SOS) from an orbiting drone that has been in place for decades, indicating another ship had been forced to land on the Twisted Earth previously. Travel to the coordinates of the other crashed ship (in hopes of salvaging some high tech parts) will take up a bit more of the campaign.
Other components needed for repair of the drives will force the group to engage in a bit of society building. Below is the shopping list according to the Engineer of the ship:
1. 1 kilo of pure gold to replace and resoldier computer connections.
2. 100' fiber optic cable for connections.
3. Coffee machine damaged, needs a Bean Infuser Assembly (DC 30 T/Mechanical to fabricate and parts cost @100cr). Only hobo coffee until fixed. (oh my god!)
4. 1 kiloliter of heavy Pure ionic 10w30 oil for lube parts of manuever drive.
5. Converter plant inner sealant. protects the wall of fuel purification from elements. It is a high tech cermanic which may be acquired from an assembly or storage location for space craft... (NASA? JPL?)
6. Eight new high-temperature 10x600mm multi-phase connector bolts for the thruster plates. Not too complicated but kinda hard to find on a TL-6 planet. With just a few improvements in local manufacturing say up to TL 7-8 so they can have powdered metal technology and the special bolts can be made.
7. Full fuel tank, obviously. That's 90 tons of water (on a world where they sell dirty water by the liter at market stalls).
8. 90 grams of Unlikelium. May be able to process from seawater if another source can't be found. Must process 100 tons of seawater in specialized equipments to get 1 gram of this rare element.
