Degasi

Story
The Degasi was a Mongolian ship manned by a crew of six that crashed on Planet 4546B en route to a space station. The crash occurred around a decade prior to the events of Subnautica, in identical circumstances to the Aurora.

Paul Torgal mentions in one of the PDAs that the Degasi was taking a "detour", implying it was not on its normal route and got too close and was shot down.

Three crew members of the Degasi survived the crash, these three were Paul Torgal, his son Bart Torgal, and Marguerit Maida, a hired mercenary.

Paul, Bart and Marguerit scrapped the Degasi in order to construct the seabases found on the Floating Island. They went on to build a base in the Jellyshroom Cave, and then in the Deep Grand Reef.

PDAs left by the Degasi crew can be found on the Data Downloads page.
