Sunbeam

The Sunbeam was a passing cargo ship captained by Avery Quinn that picked up the distress signal sent by the Aurora. It's significantly smaller than the Aurora, seating only six people.

The Player will start receiving transmission from Avery on board the Sunbeam via the Radio some time after the Player has started exploring the planet. The ship alerts the player to its imminent arrival, until it gives a forty-minute warning of its eventual landing on the Mountain Island. It will give the Player a Signal with the landing coordinates.

The Sunbeam's Failed Rescue
The Sunbeam had planned to land on the Mountain Island to rescue the Player. However, before it was able to land, the Quarantine Enforcement Platform activates, weaponizing itself and shooting the Sunbeam down, as it did with the Aurora. As the Sunbeam is quite a bit smaller than the Aurora, which was relatively intact albeit heavily damaged with a massive amount of debris left behind, the Sunbeam is completely obliterated, its crew members are dead, and its debris rains down afterwards. No wreck of the Sunbeam can be found on the map.

If the player manages to disable the Quarantine Enforcement Platform before the Sunbeam arrives, they will not be rescued, Avery stating that the Aurora left a large amount of debris in the planet's orbit, and is unable to land.
