Landing Vessel's Breached Hull Skin
A ragged section of landing craft outer skin: vacuum-rated composite panels torn and flayed, micro‑seams blown outward, exposed insulation and scorched primer forming an irregular lip where the hull failed. Corrosion and centuries of weathering matte the metal; brittle rivets and a gossip of stress fractures radiate from the breach like a fossilized wound. Characters treat the fragment as forensic proof—fingers hover, voices tighten, and the artifact provides a physical anchor for recollection and accusation in later conversations.

Purpose
To act as the vessel's primary outer skin, providing structural integrity, atmospheric containment, micrometeoroid protection, and the mounting surface for sensors and landing hardware.
Significance
Functions as the decisive physical clue tying a centuries-old landing failure to the colony's origin crisis. The breached skin becomes moral fuel—evidence that provokes blame, shapes historical narrative, and catalyzes the ethical standoff between aid and autonomy.
