Current Events
"Why has our kind always been plagued with violence, with greed? We've lacked guidance. Humanity has had no true leadership in all of it's bloody history, we've walked ourselves from one war to the next with no idea why.. truly why we needed to kill another of our own. We've fought with ourselves for so long it's all we know how to do. What we must do is look elsewhere. We, humans of every race and gender, must have a singular focus, we must march onward to the stars, we must colonize, we must go to war. This is who our people have molded themselves into! We must, one and all, leave the land of our birth to explore beyond our borders of our comfort, as we have always done, as we have always yearned to do. We must go to war with the stars!"
~Quote of Kurt Daniels, head of the Serpent's Cross organization for exploration~
The year is two thousand eighty seven, Earth is choking on the waste products of it's population. Humanity is killing itself through inaction. Already the entire solar system has been colonized, and yet still our planets cannot sustain the ever-growing population. The Serpent's Cross is an organization of such power that it rivals even colonial councils, planetary governments. It is now that these extremists have decided that our own solar system was not enough, and now must move onward to the outer reaches of our capacity through the revolutionary Suiard drive. Liam Suiard was a genius Irish scientist on earth, formulating a method of travelling beyond the speed of light without acceleration beyond human capacity. Suiard claims that the idea came to him one night while watching television. The idea of the remote, why move to your goal if it could be done remotely, make the end product come to the user. A mathematic formula beyond normal comprehension was his answer, Suiard denied the natural laws to create a reality warping device, essentially creating a fold in space to travel infinitely greater distances over a considerably shorter time. Armed with his idea, and funding from the Serpent's Cross, Suiard built his device, a generator the size of the common minivan that consumed astronomical amounts of power, to warp the very fabric of reality to do his bidding, assuming the proper calculations were entered. One generator was capable of travelling a near infinite distance in an infinitesimal amount of time, not limited by conventional methods of propulsion. Shortly out of prototyping, Suiard passed away of questionable reasons, and the Serpent's Cross developed colossal ships, three to be precise, all powered on a multitude of Suiard drives, and solar sails for power generation. The Berserker King, The Prophet's Fate, and The Dungeoneer became the first true colonizing crafts, ships capable of carrying billions at a time, fabricating mass, generating their own power, even containing entire cities and farm fields. The cross had made fantasy for many, a reality. Leaving behind warpgate buoys for future colonization, the trio set on their way immediately, branching in different directions to various Goldilocks worlds spotted via stellarscope.
Now we humans travel forth into the unknown... what pray tell, may happen?
