Reply to comment by gonzo1483 in Do you think the first humans on Proxima B could be convicts? by gonzo1483

There's a sci-fi story where a multi-generational colony ship finally arrives at a planet and it's covered in the ruins of a civilization of humans that arrived hundreds of years earlier using faster ships that were developed while the first ship made the trip.
