With systems stabilized and the Ulysses able to get underway, the immediate threat of Boyajian's Star diminishes. Warp drive is still offline and the ship is functioning on auxiliary power: the crew begins to contend with the fact that they are stranded far from home, currently unable to send a long-range signal back to the Federation. They must find a planet they can land on to affect necessary repairs.
Boyajian's Star's danger still looms large: once thought to house an "alien megastructure" in the 21st century, the truth is far more complex. Boyajian's Star had an ancient civilization, but now: it is a "planet killer." The star is tearing apart it's worlds with it's erratic solar plasma ejecta, and stellar winds make its planetary neighborhood turbulent.
Ulysses lands on the only semi-habitable planet remaining: a cold world with a diminished atmosphere and intense seismic activity. Short-range sensors detect more ruins several kilometers away.
