The planet designated B122011P was determined by astronomers to be an Earth-like mass orbiting within the Goldilocks Zone of a star 500 light-years away. A brave expedition gathered to make the journey there.
Most of the explorers returned to Earth, bringing data and interpretations galore about what should happen to Planet Maxwell. Further yet, evidence was found that B122011P was previously inhabited, and that there may be riches beyond the tridium ore and terraforming potential. Many organisations and conglomerates, who had begun to act even before the expedition had left Earth, progressed further with their agendas.
The Autumn War changed the geopolitical nature of Earth like nothing before, giving rise to a diaspora of astronomical proportions. Even now, millennia later, on and above the surface of Maxwell, the consequences are still freshly felt. Bitter rivalries, honest sentiments, the greed for profit, and the drive for greatness all spur the colonists forward.
What role will you play in the new future of humanity?
