The UNS Pelican was a time ship that crashed on a planet in the distant past. The crew's descendants forgot their origins over the following generations. They called the planet Pelachan, a corruption of the name of the ship. (AUDIO: A Death in the Family [+]Loading...["A Death in the Family (audio story)"])
Behind the scenes
The Pelican would have played a significant role in Fifty-Fifty, Steven Hall's unproduced sequel to A Death in the Family.
