The year is 2056. You, for whatever reason, have been placed aboard the [i]U.E.S. Contact Light[/i], a glorified mail truck in space, albeit the size of a small city. Your otherwise seamless trip is interrupted by a massive shuddering in the ship, as the power goes out and red alarms begin flaring around you. You feel the sickening pull of gravity for the first time in a long while, and lose consciousness. When you awake you are on a planet alien even to you, lying among the wreckage of the Contact Light. Be you a hired gun, a prisoner, or a simple seeker or fortune, you now have only one goal: Survive.

While NASA and SpaceX did their damnedest to bring humanity to space, their efforts never really improved since 2020. Sure, we could get things out to space, but it was damn expensive, and the trips were short as could be. 2045 came along, and that all changed. Definitive proof of 'wormholes' was found, though not quite how scientists might like it. They just called it a wormhole because 'giant glowing purple portal in the middle of Brisbane' was a bit of a mouthful. After extensive testing, it was found that the portal lead to a planet light-years away. News quickly spread, but not before the relatively small SysTech corporation got control of the portal, and effectively the planet itself. Quick to action, they began work on the new planet, and discovered the planet was rich with volatile liquid that was twice as effective as any synthetic rocket fuel on Earth. With this as a bargaining chip, SysTech locked the superpowers of the Earth into supporting them. They were re-branded the United Earth Corporation, and began colonizing the new world. This began an age of wonder and exploration, as ships were sent out to explore the distant system labelled Simmons-1, in honor of SysTech's late founder. Signs of life were discovered among the planets, in the derelict ruins and artifacts with inexplicable power. Exploration has just begun of the neighboring system of Simmons-2, lead by the finest freighter possessed by humanity: [i]The UES Contact Light[/i].

This RP will be heavily based on the game [b]Risk of Rain[/b]. While it's a great game I'd suggest anyone play, having played it is by no means a prerequisite for this RP -the game is very vague when it comes to lore, so I'll be taking quite a few liberties myself. 
The RP itself will be based around both surviving the harsh environment and waves of angry fauna, and solving the mystery of what exactly happened to the [i]Contact Light[/i]. The survivors of the crash can come from all walks of life -miners, hunters, mercenaries, and janitorial robots can all find a place on the [i]UES Contact Light[/i], and anyone in between.
