2032: Geneticists discover that a few key genes in the human genome can be turned on or off to give people superhuman abilities. Some scientists believe that the instability of the gene's effects is what prevented it from becoming a dominant trait of humanity. The first new Superhumans are created using an engineered retrovirus which alters those genes. The specifics of the superhuman abilities are extremely unpredictable, though. Society doesn't know what to make of them, so some of them create a colony in Antarctica.

2048: The first interstellar ship Earth built is sent to Proxima Centauri.

2063: One of the superhumans, now called Homo Mutantis despite not being a separate species or actual mutants, loses control of their powers in the middle of NYC, exploding like a fusion bomb. Over 1 million people died. People turn against Superhumans, branding them terrorists, and they are driven out of all countries except their colony. The UN places a defense force on Antarctica to guarantee that they don't leave their home.

2107: The ship arrives in Proxima Centauri and discovers that the innermost planet is covered in life. A device is constructed in both the Sol and Proxima Centauri system to stabilize and expand the communications wormhole that was sent with the probe.

2110: A ship is sent through to study the world, but is completely lost less than a week later.

2111: After several superhumans escape their city, leading to human injury or death in many cases, the UN decides to solve the Mutant problem by sending the one group that may survive Proxima Centauri I to that world. They send in large numbers of troops to tranquilize and freeze everyone in Mutantis City, putting them in cryostasis for the trip.

2113: The first superhumans arrive on Proxima Centauri I.

We are those "Mutants".

Edit: I'll add a bit of a CS in case anyone wants to start working.
