Introduction
The Lost
Planet
is a science fiction and fantasy adventure about a couple of guys that
manage a space cargo company with one trinate class (medium-large)
cargo vessel, known as the Valkon. They carry cargo, including some
large equipment, mostly intricate high tech machinery and parts, and
large quantities of staple food products, from the Earth and Mars to
the Jovian colonies of Jupiter's moons. The voyage is fairly simple, if
long and eventless, except for the area known as the asteroid belt.
Traveling through the asteroid field is risky and challenging, and requires manual direction of the helm at all times. It also cannot be traversed at the normal high speeds that are used in the vast emptiness which is most of outer space, so the trip through is slower and more difficult.
It is 2086 and there have been 6 ships lost to the asteroids out of 48 all total. But most were lost early when the navigators and pilots lacked experience with the asteroids. None have been lost for almost 10 years, so it appears that they have learned more about how to handle the unpredictable dangers of the asteroid field.
But on this particular voyage, one of the most unpredictable things occurs, something that is quite rare, and it causes an accident. The accident sends the Valkon off course and into one of the wildest adventures a space man can ever expect to experience.
