Though the planet appeared to be uninhabited, a ship soon appeared and shot the boat containing Aeryn Sun and John Crichton in it, crystallizing its occupants. The crew of Moya learned that the ship came from a nearby island, which was hidden by a concealment canopy, a type of cloaking device that surrounded the island and protected its inhabitants. The crew of Moya eventually convinced the aliens that they were not a threat and aided them in recovering Aeryn and Crichton's crystallized remains.
