Treasure hunters
----------------
The derelict is enormous, a galaxy-class carrier ship from centuries ago. The captain brings it up on the holoscreen, our ship a tiny dot beside it.
"There are still people there," the client says. "Descendants of the surviving crew, fallen to barbarism."
"Why didn't they leave?" the captain asks.
