Entry

I woke up stranded on this strange planet. I was in a cave. I don't know how I got here, I have very little memory at all as a matter of fact. I've managed to piece a nearby crashed starship back together only to find that it responded to my touch. It is indeed my own ship, as I thought, and it's called the Salted Bird. I managed to find the navigational history on the ship's computer and learned that I am on a world with a name I couldn't begin to try and pronounce, however the system I am in is called The Aries Badlands and contains no other stellar bodies except the one I'm on. Appropriate name considering the temperature on this world is 250 degrees in the day and -80 degrees at night, not to mention never ending storms of literal fire scathing the surface of this desert planet. I have constructed a small survival base on the surface near some caves. I even hired an overseer from the nearby space station, which unfortunately provided me with no information on who I am and what I'm doing here.

I can't remember my life before waking up in that cave almost two weeks ago. I remember...war. War and...earth? I remember Earth. There's nothing else, not now at least. I've searched the ship and came across some kind of laser weapon that doubles as a mining device. It can even crack holes in the sides of mountains. It should come in handy while I try to get everything figured out.

Fortunately for me, my ship's navigational history has revealed to me that the last location I visited was a planet called New Rondstadt in a star system called The Grant Oasis. I plan on visiting this planet for more clues once I can get my ship's Hyperdrive repaired. In the mean time, I will continue to try and regain my memory as best as I can. I'll write again soon.

ps I've been going on small missions for the Overseer, mostly gathering materials, data, and cataloging the planet's plants and animals. The plants all seem to be cacti, bitter melons, and nutrient rich flowers. The creatures seam to mostly be large lizards and turtles, along with some venomous gazelles. I should warn any potential travelers however of a creature my scanner would only classify as a Burrowing Monstrosity. I came across one while on one of these missions and it nearly ate my face before ramming me 10 yards away. I managed to get back to my ship before it tore me to pieces. I hope I never come across another one of those biological horrors.
