a sudden loss of history that affected the entire galaxy and resulted in the disappearance of the world of Golarion—the Starfinder Society formed and became one of the preeminent organizations of the Pact Worlds. Using the Drift, the machine god Triune’s gift of rapid interstellar travel, Starfinder agents explored worlds far and near under the guidance of their elected leader, the First Seeker. The treasures they found and knowledge they recorded secured the Starfinder Society’s prestige and wealth for generations.

Recently, a massive alien starship appeared suddenly from deep space, emerging into the upper atmosphere of the planet Akiton at speeds sure to crack the planet in half. At the last moment, this starship slowed, crashing into Akiton’s Sloughscar Hills. Curious explorers and opportunistic salvagers descended upon the wreck, among which was a mercenary team in the employ of the Starfinder Society. Within hours, the ship’s automated defenses activated, driving the explorers out and unleashing dangerous monsters and magical effects into the region. This starship is the Wreck of the Returned.

Discoveries made during these initial investigations have led First Seeker Sarmak to believe the Wreck of the Returned has a connection to the mysterious First Ones, an advanced civilization from antiquity whose true name is unknown, and is the first step in a devastating invasion of the Pact Worlds. Although… something has gone wrong.

Deeply worried, First Seeker Sarmak established a base in the surrounding Sloughscar Hills. He’s put out a call for brave Starfinders willing to help establish and defend this fledgling lodge and to explore the Wreck of the Returned.
