Edit:
Ah, of course, you're Jaskirat Singh Dhaliwal: Professional Surveyor-Architect.
You are a devout Sikh and are very serious about your job. This combined with your calm personality was what led you to become the unofficial leader after the Captain died(although the fact that you were going to be in charge of the ground operations anyway probably helped). You sure do miss Captain Patterson. The captain volunteered to stay behind and keep imperial enforcers away from the launch pads long enough for you and the rest of the crew to escape in this stolen cargo cruiser. He could be dead now, but it's more likely that he's just been arrested. Incidentally you, the pilot and the navigation officer are the only surviving original crew members. Of course you aren't the only ones on the ship.
There are also these guys. You found twelve science clones in suspended animation in the hold. You only unfroze four of them though since this ship wasn't meant to have a large crew in the first place. You've been trying to treat them as equals as per your values but they have been bred to serve so they haven't adjusted yet. You are currently in the room which contains the computer mainframe with three of the clones. You asked them to rig up a hologram of the planet below. To be honest the view from the window is a lot better though. They'll be happy to develop anything you need as long as they get fed and have comfortable beds.
The Navigation officer, Pilot and the other clone are down in the cargo bay waiting for a confirmation on where to drop the teleport station. Oh right, you've been so busy talking to yourself you forgot to give them the go ahead.
You give them your chosen position:
The ship moves around as the station is fired onto the planet and the inertial dampeners kick in.
The Navigation Officer Kieren calls you over the intercom:
Kieren: "The station will be operational in a few minutes Jaskirat."
Jaskirat: "Alright, I'll get the combat robots together and we'll secure the landing site as soon as possible."
You head down to the teleporter room and assemble the combat bots.
After inspecting the robots you get the go ahead from Kesley and fire up the teleporter.
Time to take a step onto a brave new world.

Population (includes robotic workers):
12 science clones (8 in suspended animation)
5 Combat robots.
10 Worker robots (10 in storage).
Food:
- 10 RationBulbs (+10 per day from hydroponics bay)
Raw Resources:- 20 Metal
- 20 Textiles
- 20 Plastics
- 10 Electronics
- 30 Concrete Powder
Handheld Equipment:- 4 Logger-Gatherers
- 4 Handheld Mining Drill
- 7 Laser Rifle
Equipment:- Manufacture Box (can create small items from supplied material)
- Smelter (undeployed)
- Gravel Smasher (undeployed)(makes concrete powder)
Vehicles/Mechs:- Concretion Mech (Robotic) (4 legged robotic mech which can lay concrete)
| Item | Cost | Description |
| Basic Robot Body | 10 Metal, 4 Electronics, 2 Plastics | Basic Robot body which can have programs loaded into it (Currently available programs: Worker, Combat). |
| Laser Rifle | 2 Metal, 2 Electronics, 1 Plastics. | Generates Power (+1 Power generation during the day). |
| Solar Panel | 4 Metal, 10 Electronics | Generates Power (+1 Power generation during the day). |
| Crate | 1 Solid | Can be used to store items outside of the cargo hold. |
| 5x Pipe | 1 Solid | It's a pipe. |
And that was that. I've given you a few things that I figure would be useful both now and for starting points for research. For example the concretion mech, it'll speed up your building and you can devote time to creating other mechs based on it's design but with different functions (easy example: Swap concreting equipment for lasers). You don't need a starting point though.
So many questions. What is the pilots name? How many original crew members were there? Will any of this ever be relevant or is it just back story to explain this scenario? Will there be a test later? My only answer is: Maybe (aka I have no idea).
If I've missed out on giving you something simple like blueprints for something a high school student could make with a block of wood and a saw then I'll add it in. I'll do this up until the next update, then you'll just have to get your science team to develop it.
Oh and that symbol on the teleport station isn't your insignia or anything, It just means it is a teleporter.
