The group woke from cryosleep aboard the shardship and met ASRA. ASRA also released a pack of blood gremlins from cryosleep, mistaking them for potential crew members. The group defeated the blood gremlins.
With the ship's engines nearly out of fuel, the group needed to collect Void Orbs to replenish the supply. The orbs were in an abandoned mine on a world owned by toad people. With the locals' permission, the group entered the mine and retrieved the Void Orbs.
