Honey Weaver Galaxy

 Near the planet MP III (Mining Planet 3... hehe MP3, LOL!), the Frigate Titan IC (Hehe, Titanic... good catch T!) on its way to the moon Ivan Knox struck a hunk of space ice orbiting the barren mining planet. The damage was catastrophic and the vessel crash landed on the planet. Some escaped on escape pods but there were not enough for all the passengers. Some violence broke out, a bugbear used a shotgun on the crowd to get to a pod. Many didn't make it. 

One small group that did survive the crash, joined up with a few others, and made survival preparations.

The first night spent was not fun, few got rest, but they took shelter on the 3rd deck of the wreckage. During the night they heard some horrific sounds originating from the local fauna. They witnessed what Howlers do to Dust Mephits.

The group kept quiet enough for the howler to pass after its Mephit-Meal, but later that night Mephits found the group and a battle ensured in which the party was triumphant (but dusty).
From the wreckage the group secured:
  1. 3 medkits (Stabilize)
  2. 9 Stims (1d6+6 temporary HP)
  3. 12 rations
  4. 1 water purifier
  5. 48 water bottles (2 cases)
The next day after additional rest and an impromptu breakfast they set out from the wreckage for an outpost a half-day's trip away. Each person packed 2 water bottles and the rest were carried on Kora's magical disc. Temperatures quickly began to rise on this scrub-barren two-sun world. Part way to the outpost they came upon a bunker of sorts. Picking locks and such they broke into the bunk, some of the members from the new group were not doing too keenly (Persephone and Thomas) and were in need of a rest before reaching the outpost.
Inside the bunker was a weapons locker, a computer, and some supplies. There was also a mysterious create or chest. It had an emblem consistent with other merc/smuggler/runner groups and was of newer tech than the rest of the equipment in the bunker, (Compute was a Thunderbolt 9000! Oh the nostalgia!)

When searching for a key card for the crate, a password for the computer was found and Floki was able to bring up the bunker's camera system. On it he saw a creature moving beneath the surface outside the bunker. The bunker door was shut and the creature merged, a giant black scorpion! Avoidance didn't seem an option and a short combat ensured... Eddy and Kara didn't even get a chance to hit it! (Salty), Arius got covered in black scorpion blood... which did little for her appearance 😁.

Other Notes:
Ivan Knox is a habitable hub moon orbiting MP3, with plants, animals, water, and a breathable atmosphere. It was the original destination of the Titan IC before it crashed on MP3.

The Fey Realm can vary per world. Space travel can sometime unintentionally land one in the Fey Realm.
