The year is 22XX. Approximately fifteen years ago, a great war ravaged the home we called Earth, wiping out a majority of humankind and reducing all of our great civilizations to nothing but dirt and rubble. When the dust settled, no winner was left standing: only a handful of people and a scarred planet. In hindsight, the political struggles all felt petty. There was no time to look back on the past and grieve, however - humanity was edging dangerously towards extinction, and new leadership was needed to pull the world together. The New Earth Federation, a coalition forged from the remnants of the previous governments, swiftly claimed the new void of power, promising to lead humanity to a brighter future. After years of struggles in a world where nothing was left but deserts, rocks, and ruins, the NEF realized that Earth’s atmosphere could not sustain the human race for much longer; they would need to look elsewhere if they wanted to thrive once more. After much discussion and debate, technology from the great war was dusted off, and we took to the stars. The NEF’s plan was simple: what we lacked in natural resources and food supply, we more than made up for in foolish hope and the ability to desperately cling to anything that could spell salvation. “Eden.” That’s the nickname of the world the NEF challenged humanity to look for - a planet rich with life and lush resources, and an atmosphere hospitable to our species. It could be countless galaxies away, or it could be right next door; no one knows where Eden lies, but the one who finds it has been promised countless riches once we settle into our new home. Many scoffed at the idea, but hundreds of teams of Voyagers have left the colonies, searching space for a world worthy of the title "Eden." Whether or not it even exists, it’s the only option available to us other than extinction. The year is 22XX, and the final frontier has turned into our final hope. |
