The Humans in Solar Echoes (part 4)


One of the great colony ships, the Ark 3, lost contact with Earth after journeying in space for only four years. The Ark 3 had fallen into a wormhole and was propelled halfway across the galaxy almost instantaneously. Though some damage was suffered, the ship was intact and emerged from the wormhole tens of thousands of light years away from Earth, with no way back. After 3 months of searching for a world to settle in the new region, the colonists were ready to give up hope as the damaged hyperdrive began to fail, potentially leaving them adrift in space for the remainder of their lives. However, they finally came across a terrestrial planet very similar to Earth, though uninhabited by intelligent life. After landing, the colonists decided to name the planet New Terra in honor of their distant homeworld. Though they were not able to communicate with Earth, they knew that they had finally accomplished their mission.
