Getting Lost
Source GM Core pg. 37
When PCs are traveling through space, exploring the wilderness, or navigating twisting city streets and space stations, they might get lost. This is usually a consequence for failing at checks to Navigate or Sense Direction, or critically failing at a check to Plot Course, but it can also happen based on the story, such as if they crash-land on an undiscovered planet, pass through an interstellar portal, or emerge from an underground passageway into a forest. Playing through the process of trying to find their way can be fun for a party, provided they do so for a short interval. If a party is lost at the start of a session, they should usually have found their way and reached a significant destination by the end.
If the PCs get unlucky or are just awful at Piloting and Survival, they might end up stuck with no way to reorient themselves. In these cases, have someone come to them! They might meet some locals, get captured by predators, or even stumble upon a dangerous location. They've figured out where they are, even if it's not where they wanted to be!
