To Boldly Go Where No Prisoner has gone before

A new planet has been discovered by the top scientists of Space Aeronautics. They called it Decaorb as it is the tenth planet to orbit the Earth.
They decided to send 5 people ... outcasts who are imprisoned for a faulty charge. After training, their mission is to go boldly seek what Decaorb has in store. Is it inhabitable? Are there aliens there?
The chosen ones have met their fate once they have arrived, not knowing how the experience will change them forever.
