Despite our initial observations, the habitable world of Aramar isn't exactly as Earth-like as was hoped. A shame, then, that this was determined so far after human colonization had begun, but luckily all of the colonists were in a ready position to simply load up for the journey home, perhaps to try again once conditions allowed it. At least, most of them were. By some stroke of poor luck, or a grave error in accounting, one carrier ship failed to confirm its manifest before departing for the decades-long trip to Earth. Luckily, this only attributed to the loss of some industrial machinery, supplies, tools... and a set of 100 habitable cryo-pods, ready set with eager colonists.
