In 2897 Resources on earth are scarce, though technology is advanced enough to simulate food and water, the toxicity of these have proven to be too much for the human system to handle. Death tolls are rising, cancer being the common enemy. Those who aren't affected by this (whether it be from a strong immune system, enhanced living organism etc.,) live in space ships situated far from Earth, while the sick remain on a withered and dying Earth, attempting to grow food on a planet who just doesn't want to give back anymore.
Specialized teams are sent out to find habitable planets, but as many dangers lurk interplanetary discovery, such as hostile environments and creatures, it's fairly common for them to come back from their ventures in a body bag. It became a high risk and high reward job; some are called space mercenaries, but many refer to themselves as civilization's last hope. A journey that not many are willing to embark on.

As technology became more advanced, humans grew harshly dependant on it. Tasks that were once arduous and required effort and skill became banal and easily accomplished by most. The Government and authorities, usually referred to as the Elites, had undoubtedly a huge role in shaping this dangerous mentality. Even something as simple as cooking is hardly ever seen anymore as any food could be acquired by a touch of a button. Restaurants were useless, and so were most businesses. Soon enough, only jobs in the technological and medical fields were viable anymore. This created a society divided between the working and ruling class and the ones left with the scraps and often not having the bare necessities to live.
Death tolls came in higher and higher each year, a statistic often overlooked and even underreported to the working class. Though, when the Elites started falling, you can imagine a nation wide panic was quickly installed. No matter what class you were, if your immune system couldn't handle the toxicity, you'd end up sicker than a teenager drinking with their friends for the first time. Even if the technology had surpassed what everyone could imagine, cloning the human body had still been impossible and their dreams of transferring to a younger, healthier host died along with them.
The situation became dire, to the point of no return. The sick remained on earth, having little to no resource to help their cause. The lucky few, not needing Earth's resources to survive, moved to a makeshift home in space; away from the chaos and death, yet stunting their growth as a nation. They too were on survival mode.
The Elites are presumably dead. Some believe, however, like everyone else, they may have had the genetics to survive the toxicity of the environment.

Humans done fucked up, Earth is useless so let's go suck up the resources off other planets and kick some alien ass to save civilization!
Central Space Station : Hyperion III Description: The space station was constructed 564 years ago for information gathering. As the situation on earth disintegrated over the years, many moved to this station looking for a place to call home. Hyperion III grew in size, its massive circumference and 10 floors now house over 200 000 thousand individuals. The station is circular, the widest ring at the top and the thinnest being at the bottom. Fifteen ship dock surround the station's middle ring. Windows cover the other rings, giving the inhabitants a beautiful view of the milky way which unfortunately, also gives them a front row seat to Earth's slow yet painful curtain call. Location: Milky Way. 378km from the sun. Habitants: 238,589 Orbital velocity and Period: 15km/s. Full rotation takes 2,819 days Currency: Since various items and goods are bought are sold inside the space station, a universal currency was put in place. Since metals are precious resources, Hyperion Chips are completely virtual. Transactions can be made through any personal electronic device. Currency: 1 Hyperion Credit is equivalent to 10 CND, 7,5 USD, 7 EUROS.

Every planet we explore will find its way in here, I made two to start us off.
Status: Unexplored Description: Thillia 5B was found in 2645, through information gathering on this Galaxy. It pinged on their radar, however it remained unexplored because both the lack of information from faulty readings. The following description is unknown to everyone: Its rough terrain is harsh and far from friendly to any ship or vessel wanting to enter its orbit. Rock formations are high and irregular, comprised of a crystal material reflecting light, just as a mirror would. Getting lost and disoriented in this maze-like planet isn't the only danger, however, as guardians protect its resources. With good reason, as the start clusters surround it make for a spectacular view, lighting up the planet with a soft hue of different shades of blues, greens and purples. Location: Andromeda IV, roughly 2,5mly from Milky Way Ressources: Unknown Mean Temperature: Unknown Gravity: Unknown Density: Unknown Diameter: Unknown Surface Pressure: Unknown Rotation: Unknown Daylight: Unknown
Status: Known - Unexplored Description: Pleron has an extremely valuable water source. The only problem is most equipment needed to carry the ice aren't suited to withstand such frigid cold. If anyone tries to even enter its orbit the ship and its crew will encounter a quick yet painful death. Location: Hercules A Ressources: Water [extremely viable] Frozen Soil [not viable] frozen, cannot produce any form of plant or crop. Air Quality: [Viable] arctic sub-zero humidity - not adaptable to humans Metals: [not viable] Mean Temperature: Day: -105 to -800 Celsius Night: 105 to -800 Celsius Gravity: 7.0 Density: 5514 Diameter: 6,754km Surface Pressure: 1.034 bars Rotation: 8,5km/s Daylight: 0.254
Humans General Info: Humans are predominant in the universe, or so they believe. In truth, they make up a small portion of living creatures. Location: Earth and Hyperion III Strengths: Emotions. Intelligent life form capable of creation and destruction alike. Weaknesses: Emotions. Biology is fragile and not easily adaptable on its own.
Humanoids General Info: Humanoids are human with two or technological augments or modifications and biological mutations which alter the host in various ways. Whether this modification or alteration is forced or deliberate does not matter. Location: Earth, Hyperion III, various planets Strengths: Similar to humans [depends on modifications/mutations] Weaknesses: Similar to humans [depends on modifications/mutations] Special Abilities: Abilities can range from anything that enhances human characteristics or anything that adds a biologic or tech feature to a person.
Cyborg and Bionics General Info: They are usually made up entirely, or almost entirely, out of biotic material. They were first created to help humans, mostly the working class, but since their efficiency quadruple that of any human, bionics replaced them in most fields that require manual labour. Location: Hyperion III exclusively Strengths: They don't need to sleep, eat or drink to maintain health. They do not fear. No living tissue means that they don't get weak or fatigued. Weaknesses: They cannot wander where there is no electrical currents or strong electromagnetic fields. Requires maintenance often. Easily formatted to anyone with decent computer knowledge. Special Abilities: Since they are tightly intertwined with electronic circuits of all sorts, they can download or upload anything from and to their firmware giving them access to an unlimited number of tools and information. However, they do not have personalities and will obey to anyone who is tech savy enough to control one.
