Konyyl's bad end is making me think. The ship goes haywire and the PC specifies that it feels more like it's being shaken than that the engine is failing, implying outside interference, and states that's how it felt when their ship landed on Alternia. Does this imply some external party PULLED their ship there for reasons unknown?

Seems like there may be something going on in Alternia’s atmosphere. Scratch or something else, we can only speculate until we know more about the nature of the event.
