It was the year 2077, and humanity had completely depleted the Earth's resources. Governments and corporations had long since turned to space exploration and colonization as a means of survival, but progress had been slow. That was until the discovery of a wormhole near Jupiter, leading to a galaxy with numerous habitable planets. It was the opportunity of a lifetime, and teams of explorers were sent out to find a new home for humanity. Among them was Captain Ava Chen, leading the crew of the ship named New Horizons. Little did they know, the journey would be filled with challenges beyond their wildest imagination.
