Retrieving Logs….
We’ve come so far, out here…
Whether it was the runaway greenhouse effect, or the following global war over natural resources… with billions of lives lost and Earth rapidly becoming uninhabitable, we had no choice but to abandon our homeworld. The once vibrant blue planet, now a shadow of its former self, was left behind as a testament to humanity’s past mistakes.
Mars was ruled out as a viable long-term option. Its harsh environment and lack of resources meant that, without the support of its neighbor, it would never have been able to sustain a human population large enough to guarantee our survival as a species. The red planet, though a beacon of hope for a time, was simply not enough.
Luckily, in our darkest hour, with the help of quantum artificial intelligence, we made perhaps the most important scientific discovery for the survival of our species: faster-than-light (FTL) travel. This breakthrough opened the doors to the stars, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the despair.
With no other options left, all of Earth’s remaining resources were diverted, and the spacefaring nations started building spaceships using this new propulsion technology at a ferocious pace. The race was on to construct vessels capable of carrying a lucky few beyond our solar system, to the unknown reaches of the galaxy.
Humanity – now an interstellar species – expanded in all directions, roaming the galaxy in search of a new home as it struggled for survival. The vastness of space became our new frontier, filled with both wonder and peril. We encountered strange new worlds, each with its own unique challenges and opportunities. Some were barren and hostile, while others held the promise of a new beginning.
We would soon discover, however, we were not alone…
As we ventured further into the cosmos, we encountered other intelligent beings, each with their own rich histories, cultures, and technologies. These encounters reshaped our understanding of the universe and our place within it. The galaxy became a complex web of alliances and conflicts, as different civilizations vied for power, resources, and survival.
The year is 2171, and the universe is teeming with life, mystery, and adventure. As a member of one of these alien species, each with its own unique abilities, strengths, and challenges, you will explore uncharted territories, forge alliances, and uncover the secrets of the galaxy. Whether you choose to be a cunning trader, a notorious pirate, or a fearless diplomat, what you do next is up to you.
