A violent social experiment of the grandest scale…but of course shit went wrong. Upon entering the earths atmosphere the massive prison ship had a major entry sequence malfunction. The landing was successful, but not without extensive casualties and complete decimation of the home planet communication and monitoring systems. The surviving Squadts took right to their new home, adopting leftover human technology as
