Koronis Rift
You play as a techno scavenger in the year 2049, exploring the Koronis Rift, in one of Lucasfilms earliest games.
The Ancients abandoned the planet, leaving behind many different artifacts and ships, which you can loot. Send your droid to retrieve modules and try to figure out what the ancient technology is for. It could be batteries, shields or even weapons, to help you fight the trigger-happy saucers that want you dead.

About This Game
A techno-scavenger's fortune changes the moment an exploration probe detects the fabled Koronis Rift, a sector hidden within a remote star system that allegedly harbors the technological wonders of a long-extinct civilization. Like countless fortune-seekers before them, the player has spent years combing desolate worlds for fragments of Ancient technology, but nothing has prepared them for the sheer magnitude of what awaits in this legendary cache. Standing between the scavenger and unimaginable wealth are the Guardians of the Rift—formidable sentries determined to keep the treasure sealed away. Survival demands careful strategy: deciding which derelict vessels to strip for parts, which defensive systems and weapons to salvage for the Surface Rover, and which artifacts to prioritize when resources run short. Every choice carries weight, separating those who escape with legendary riches from those who never leave the Rift at all.
