The Humans had been to space before,
visiting their own moon and a few planets in their solar system, but
these projects were more experimental and exploratory. Even though
humanity had discovered faster than light speed travel, they were
only able to expand into nearby star systems due to the challenge of
finding habitable planets within range, which was limited by the
lifespan of passengers. Supplies and support for the colonies were
limited, and though self-sufficient colonies were established, none
of them flourished into full-fledged civilizations. Despite this, the
Humans were still eager to start over and try to rebuild their
failing civilization. It became clear that the search had to be
expanded, and that it would likely require large numbers of several
generations to live on the starships during the search. This was the
beginning of the Ark project.
