The Derilict’s SoS was sent from the Helm over 1000 years ago, no lifesigns on-board. Just that signal- a last desperate plea from help only heard now as an echo, a millennium too late.
The signal broke through the Oroko particles, something our scientists believed impossible. It drifted, or maybe flew, into orbit, slowly creeping into Minimum Sustainable Altitude sending out an SOS signal that was first sent 1000 years ago. No one knew what the ship was or why it arrived until a few scavengers made it onboard and found data containing its name and mission, “the widdershins”.
A mythological colony ship that left earth more than 3000 years ago before it vanished.
I’ve had Sci-fi on my mind lately between seeing Project Hail Mary (amazing btw) and the Artemis mission launch, so It's time for another Lancer inspired map! This time it's a spaceship Helm inspired by the Ten, In lancer lore when earth fell to climate and nuclear disasters ten ships left the planet and launched out to form whole new civilisations completely removed from earth.
In my game one of these ships, “Widdershins” gets lost in Blinkspace. They instead experienced 5000 years onboard inside blinkspace while 2000 passed “realtime” trapping them inside endlessly warping all over space never able to exit. slowly over generations devolving and forgetting there ever was a destination to begin with, until eventually human life onboard went extinct. But- the mission continued on.
