There is no direct connection and communication with the distant frontiers of colonies, so it is hard to find out what exactly is going on there. The frontier is not the most peaceful place. Technical glitches, natural disasters, and armed conflicts between people. All of these problems result in mayhem, death, and destruction.

Planet Alekta is one of the far exoplanets of the frontier. It is very similar to Earth, yet it has its own unique biosphere. After many long years of exploration and monitoring, an advanced post station has been built on the planet. According to established practice, it was supposed to adapt the DNA of terrestrial organisms to the local ecosystem via persistent mutations. This process has been proven to work multiple times. Therefore, a continued courier service to the colony was never established.

You are the crew of the colonial spaceship Vega, which must travel unbelievable distances from Earth to replace the colonists who have been stationed at the frontier for several years.

What could possibly go wrong?...
