Project Name: Torchlight
Security Clearance: Public
Purpose: Identification of a Medium Size planet for colonization.
Supervising Officer: Admiral Helix

Project Torchlight is an attempt to locate more planets suitable for colonization by Lunestian inhabitants.
Project is to be supervised and reported back to Lunestian Hierarchy every twenty-four hours by Admiral Helix of the SS Nova.
A team of seven are to be sent in an experimental planetary exploration vehicle. The PEV is an experimental all-terrain vehicle, capable of submerging itself if need be to cross aquatic terrain, and is equipped with it's own artificial gravity, in the event of a zero-G environment.

The PEV is armored with two-inches of a steel-titanium alloy, capable of sustaining oxygen within in it's hull due to onboard oxygen recyclers. The vehicle is equipped with a 42" rotary cannon capable of firing 7.62 mm standard rounds at a rate of 750 per minute. The weapon is to be used in emergency situations only, and is only if authorized by the Supervising Officer. The six-tread suspension system is an experimental attempt at designing a near perfect land traversal method. Each tread alone can support the weight of twenty tons, designed to be lightweight yet sturdy.

Cpt. Nightdasher is known to have been born with Psionic capabilities, focusing more on defensive styles.
Known Psionic Capabilities:
Particle Wall: This particular form of psionic ability is capable of creating a near impermeable wall of pure psionic energy. It changes with size at the user's will. The only known material to be able to pass through the is concentrated gamma radiation, which can only be made artificially.

Telekinesis: This form of Psionic power is the ability to move and manipulate objects in the physical world, but lifting objects with heavier mass seems to cause more strain on the user, giving slight headaches if used for too long of duration.

Psionic Detonation: This is a more destructive force of Psionics but can still be categorized as a defensive style ability. It projects a large blast of psionic energy in a 360 degree circle around the user, which physically pushes any objects or organisms in the blast radius.

Author's Note:

I felt I needed to give a little bit of backstory, so I figured why the heck not?
