The uncontrolled bursts from the ship's engines broke the remainder of the ship into two. The release of the pods caused a weakening in the integrity of the ship's frame.

The ship's emergency and navigation jets allowed this section to glide to a landing but at a great distance from the remainder of the colonists.
