80 years ago, the USS Arista, a Miranda Class vessel, under command of Captain Sistine Fibel disappeared off of Starfleet scopes. After an extensive search the ship was declared lost with all hands.

In 2376 the USS Wayfarer picks up a weak distorted distress call from the Arista from an unexplored star system. The wreckage of the old vessel lays crashed on a M Class planet with a small colony nearby of roughly one hundred Humans.

However, none of the Human population seem to be over the age of sixteen and all female. When the Wayfarer investigates they discover that for the last 80 years the population has been regularly visited by an alien race known only as The Tyranians, who visit and harvest the older Humans for food as well as drop off new Human children to repopulate their livestock.
