Our plucky band of impact survivors, missed by the last trading mission, are going to have to rebuild on twin planets that are rapidly self-terraforming (throw in science fantasy "fast evolution genes" to give the planets hostile new life forms, or focus on The Martian style hard-sci marooning). Scavinging supplies, searching for other survivors, fighting those who turn out to be too hostile, etc.
With luck, you could build a simple craft that could fly you to the twin planet, where your FTL spacecraft was landed and you can hope to return to civilization.

Fun twist. My Irish Mafia could pull that one off. And the forgotten colony idea you suggest would be an epic campaign too.
