Spoilers ahead
A spacefaring crew from an advanced civilization is returning home after an extended voyage, carrying both humans and Centaurians who were rescued from a devastated homeland. The mission is framed as a hopeful reintroduction, with the Centaurians expected to be absorbed into the parent culture of the explorers.
One of the ships in the fleet is hijacked by a handful of Centaurian passengers, and the vessel crash-lands on a prehistoric world orbiting the Solaris system. In response, the remaining ships turn back, following orders that are later countermanded as they race to search for survivors.
