The Humans in Solar Echoes (part 2)


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.
