Red cover with a rocky red planet surface in the foreground, a spaceship crashed into it, the ship is in multiple pieces, and smoke is rising from the site.

The smoke rising from the crash site swirls in the silhouette and there are little stars all over the silhouette and red "sky" section of the cover too.
