On a job gone wrong, your mercenary ship barely escapes the scene of battle, severely damaged. Hoping for the best, you and your comrades entered cryptosleep, unsure of your destination.
Only two of you survived, awakening on a rimworld, heavily armed but unequpped for survival.
Your faction will be a New Arrivals.
Start with 2 people.

My intention here was to create a more challenging start than the default ones whilst also providing the player with a fighting chance- They begin very well equipped to hunt and defend against raiders, but must deal with fewer earlygame resources, being forced to rely on hunting once the meagre starting food runs out. Despite the player being denied starting steel and components, there are ship chunks present to give them the components needed to move things forwards.
