+==All that Remains==
+On it's maiden voyage, the USS Avandar set out to explore the far side of Romulan space by way of the recently discovered "Rabbit Hole" anomaly. On the other side of the anomaly, the crew picked up a faint signal, which they tracked to a dead world that none the less showed signs of ruins from an old culture. That was about as far as the crew got in their investigation before an unknown force struck the ship, forcing it into a very uncomfortable, and highly destructive, descent.
+In the wake of the crash, the surviving crew discovered the world to be a rather tropical environment, with plenty of jungle life - and intelligent tribal natives that reacted poorly to the Avandar's violent arrival on their lands. Amid occasional raids by the natives trying to evict them, the crew worked to survive as best they could, which required some drastic decisions as to priorities to be made.
+Over the months that followed, a number of the crew, led by LtCmdr Umas, grew increasingly dissatisfied with Capt. Vetri's lack of "at all costs" commitment to getting the crew rescued and her seemingly weak stance with regards to the natives. This finally erupted into open conflict when Umas attempted to murder the Captain whilst his followers provoked a major assault from the natives before making their escape in the only operational shuttle that remained.
+Their attempt to get away from the planet failed due partly to sabotage to the shuttle, and they ended up making a forced landing some distance from the Avandar's remains. Now cut off, they are struggling to make their way whilst the rest of the crew - still under Captain Vetri's command - have brokered a truce with the natives, which shows signs of being the beginning of a true peace between the two groups...
+For nearly ten years, the survivors of the USS Avandar's crash on the world they had dubbed Eden worked to adapt to their new home. After a very rough beginning, they had even managed to reach an accommodation with the natives, the crew and the nearest tribe coming to live in, if not harmony, then at least amicable enough proximity.
+The relative peace wasn't to last, however, as LtCmdr Umas and his small band of rebels, tired of eking out an existence in the wilderness, found a way to capitalise on what they saw as their chance for revenge on those that had cast them out.
+The beacon, the one hope the crew had for eventual rescue, was found to be having a detrimental effect on the atmosphere. Slow, subtle, but significant, this effect was enough for Captain Vetri to order it to be shut down whilst an attempt to fix the issue was made. There was no chance for that to happen, though, as Umas managed to get his hands on the device, modifying it for a more powerful transmission burst - a burst that, within minutes, had burned Eden's atmosphere into oblivion.
+In the wake of the planet's destruction, the Avanadar's crew were left to find answers to a number of questions - including what had just happened, and why where they back on the ship - which was parked neatly in orbit around the dead world they had approached only ten hours before...
