Welcome home, Colonist!

Please remain seated until your harness has auto-released, and be aware the overhead storage pods may have shifted during hiberstasis.

We regret to inform you that a catastrophic loss of crew, passengers and cargo occurred when meteor damage to communication, propulsion, navigation, and life support systems necessitated an unscheduled landing on a sub-optimal planet 921 parsecs deviated from our scheduled destination.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

At Galaxcorp, we are committed to helping you serve humanity’s future.

Due to current high volume, response to customer service may require 10–15 business days, milky-way standard.

You may now exit.
