Plot
The Stella Fire, the most advanced ship in the Leviathan Fleet, is in the 50th year of its voyage through the Andromeda System, when its engines mis-phase, causing it to crash-land on an uncharted planet. The Captain's younger brother, Abadon Glammis, organizes a rescue mission to try and find his missing sister. Despite his youth, he has a lot of experience as an Officer in his fleet.
Many years later, Abadon dies of old age without ever reuniting with his sister and the Stella Fire and its crew fades from memory. One hundred years later, the rescue ship detects the Stella Fire's remains, thus awakening the ship's captain from his cryogenic sleep. After reviving the rest of his crew, the captain leads them into the forest and warns them to accompany him for the last few miles.
As the crew searches for any survivors of the crashed spaceship, a large chasm opens up in front of them, prompting them to fashion some ropes out of the hanging creepers to swing across.
