Extinction is the rule. Survival is the exception.
-Carl Sagan
In the vast, cold depths of space, the glimmering, twinkling light of stars travels though space at 299792458 meters a second, traveling aimlessly until some wayward object collides with those age old photons, in a slow, silent dance of destruction and creation...
And, in this vast, cold darkness, there lies a fledgling species: Humanity. Us. The few ones who have managed to survive for long enough to climb to the skies and see the stars above, with nothing but hope in our eyes. Ad astra per aspera, through adversity to the stars.
Every obstacle so far faced conqoured, but now...now we face new challenges. Space is empty, and cold. Our home, Mother Earth, our Garden of Eden, is dying, killed by our own industrial ambitions and greed: There is no saving our home.
Our only hope lies among the stars.
Like seeds to the wind, we spread out among the stars...
This is our story.
You are the writer.
Our ears are the canvas.
Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.
-Carl Sagan
Hi!
This RP is about, as you could guess, humans leaving Earth and exploring the galaxy, set just after 2050, when Earth begins to become utterly uninhabitable. You play as a nation, not the ones we know today, no. Make your own up, with some lore behind how it came to be.
If you're interested, please say so!
