Shards of honour doesnt qualify, there is no shipwreck or marooning from what I can tell based on the description. Alien 3 definitely doesnt qualify it takes place on a colonized prison planet! Going to have to remove those.

Pitch Black doesnt qualify since they are not really marooned, the planet has an abandoned ship capable of leaving.

Also dont see anything about being shipwrecked or marooned in the Wild Space one.

If the characters in the book have the ability to contact a rescue ship, or find a way off the planet from resources already available on the planet, they are neither "Shipwrecked" or "Marooned"....
Even if the story contains a shipwreck or crash landing, if the world already has an established CIVILIZATION or COLONY on it (even an Alien one) it doesnt meet my description...

Lets stick to the description please.
