Colonization Ship Graveyard
Overview
Colonization Ship Graveyard
Near the Ashen Ore Cloud and the cold approach to Khesret-IX, the colonization ship graveyard hangs like a museum nobody wanted and everybody loots. Early-wave colony drives, tankers that ran dry, insurance write-offs, and gate-era scrap tangled into lanes so thick that tug pilots treat charts as rumors.
Salvors paint claim tags on hulls that already have four other claim tags. Concord-adjacent salvage tenders arrive with clipboards and polite threats. Kids on Prime grow up on stories about a Legacy megadrive spine sleeping somewhere in the tangle — stories the Net keeps filing under legend and drunks keep filing under maps.
You do not park here for fun. You park here because the scrap pays, the rumor pays, or someone else already parked and now it is a bounty.
