The humans have long travelled to other planetary systems to colonize habitable planets and search for other sentient species. A team is sent to a distant system named Kepler-62 to investigate the planet Kepler-62f, nicknamed Koi. However upon their descent, their ship crashes. Upon waking up, they cannot remember anything before the crash and seem to possess elf-like bodies with pointed ears. Luckily, their ships maintenance station and it's AI is still working. It refers to them with by a short serial code before referring to each individual with a name of an Earth deity (pagan pantheistic deities). It is revealed that the crew are cyborgs and in turn for progress and resources, the maintenance station will give them an upgrade. It could be a century or more until a rescue mission comes or another team arrives as the planet is nearly 1000 light years away from Earth. They must build a base and survive as long as they can and maybe get information on potential natives.
The planet is green and temporate, a lot like Earth. According to the AI, the planet is minimally warmer than Earth (3°C warmer on average). The planet however is a lot bigger than Earth. It is one and a half times larger in radius, has twice the mass and the gravity is 25 to 30 percent greater. There must be sentient beings on the planet as from a hill smoke plumes can be seen in the distance. In fact, there are confirmed natives. Coincidentally, they are elves and are in a medieval era of development. The elves think the crash was a meteor and that the crewmembers are possibly demons who have taken the forms of their people. Some of the natives speculate that they cannot exclude the possibility that they are angels as they came from the sky. It may be worth trying to approach the natives to learn about them or even trade with them. However this must be done carefully to not get attacked or ruin a chance. So far, it seems that the crewmembers have hardened bodies that protect them from blunt blows and animal bites, but it is unknown if a sword or an arrow could actually do significant damage.
Starting point:
Crash site in a forest. Seems to be a large valley with lone mountains dotting the landscape. The area in the direct vicinity of the crash site is a small moor in the middle of the forest. Any possible native settlements seem to be distant or at least a two day journey by foot away. In the moor there is a hill that is high enough to look beyond the trees. At the foot of the hill, there is the wreck of the ship. The ship itself is about 60 meters in length and 15 meters high. It can prove temporary shelter but in the long term real shelter would need to be built. The ship otherwise has the maintenance station and an intact storage room. Crew quarters and bridge are heavily damaged. Reactor is stable but can only provide enough power for some lighting, refridgeration and the maintenance station. Engines are beyond repair.
