Fan Casting Vaxis - Act I: The Unheavenly Creatures

We begin on the deck of a ship called The Gavel with two prisoners in front of an officer. Outside the ship's viewscreen, we can see The Dark Sentencer, a prison planet created by the Five Houses of Star Supremacy (also known as HOSS) after, "The Great Crash." The two prisoners, Nostrand Crane and Otto Cruger, are sentenced to be wards of the planet below. Before the pair are unceremoniously dumped into a space tunnel, Cruger tells Crane that he blames him completely for their situation and if he finds him, he will kill him. The pair belong to a criminal gang called the Unheavenly Creatures, and were joined by a third member, Nia Worn, who was killed in a bank heist gone wrong. Crane was in a relationship with Worn and wouldn't leave without her body, but Cruger forces him to do so under the threat of killing the innocents. Crane tries to explain that Worn was everything to him and the circumstances of her death didn't add up. He never saw her body and a guard shouldn't have been where he had to be to have killed her. Cruger admits he was the one who killed Worn, just as the pair are thrown into the compressed space between The Gavel and The Dark Sentencer. Wanting to kill each other, but passing out from the lack of proper air, Crane and Cruger fall to the planet.
