It was several days later and the Sentinel finally dropped out of warp outside the Deba system, a nearby Ion storm had halted comm efforts till they had gotten to the system. Which soon revealed a cooling truth, after three efforts to hail the colony they had gotten nothing but static! Entering orbit scans found the colony showed signs of pillars of smoke from some kind of explosions and the once rich fields of farming and milk produce were still burning strong by some form of fuel. Life signs didnt show any sign of the expected colonists either.

Something bad had happened to the peaceful colony of Deba III!
