== GM Input for Midshipman Cortez ==
As Midshipman Cortez initiates the specific scan parameters on Icarus III, the computer processes the geological and orbital history of the planet.
Orbital Debris: Confirmed. The scans locate thousands of small, oxidized metallic fragments in a decaying low orbit and impact craters on the surface consistent with the re-entry of primitive satellites. Carbon dating of the debris matches the age of the Broken Arrow. They had a network, but it fell from the sky nearly 100,000 years ago.
Subterranean Analysis: Negative for Life. Deep-crust sensors detect vast, collapsed honeycomb structures beneath the planet's southern continent. These appear to be artificial bunkers or geothermal cities, but they have suffered catastrophic structural failure.
Atmospheric Composition: The "ecological disaster" appears to have been a runaway greenhouse effect triggered by industrial pollutants, followed by an atmospheric collapse.
Conclusion: The Midshipman's theory is sound—they likely tried to move underground. However, the data indicates that whatever life support systems they had failed approximately 500 years after the Broken Arrow launched.
The planet is a tomb.
