The Endeavor was sent along to the Craxus system to make a routine delivery of goods to the exploratory vessel SeaHawk, currently on Craxus II. The SeaHawk was a converted space vessel redesigned to function underwater. The system, while well within Federation space, was not populated and the world itself more of a curiosity than anything. 90% water covered the worlds’ properties boasted that of breaking down replicated matter within days to weeks. All materials, foods and repair components had to be manufactured. Together with that life forms and the world radiated a field that while not inhibiting transports, made their use potentially dangerous. Thus resupply was generally done by shuttles.
The world was utilized by pleasure seekers such as surfers who used periods of ‘icefall’ to take in the higher waves and tides. Science and curiosity seekers toured the system, as did prospectors seeking mineral and other treasures from the perpetually grinding planets which had collided, sending out a steady stream of chunks from their crust and mantle. It is in this situation that the Endeavor came with a a bay full of equipment and almost 30 replacement crew. Their task was to deliver the equipment - after helping repair the dock that the SeaHawk used. Some components had been slipped in which had been replicated and had broken down enough to nearly sink the dock.
It was in this state that the Endeavor came to the Craxus system. In the cargo bay there was some ‘classified’ crates that one of the crew had detected as possibly .. alive? It was hard to tell but it was enough to spur some extra attention. What they know is that they were to be used for a project Hollowhead, but at the moment nothing more is known. As they had prepared for a shuttle to go down to Craxus II they received a distress call from two prospector ships which had, for reasons unknown, collided and were in trouble. Close in to the two worlds which had as well collided, even getting to them would be a challenge.
