Arrival of the Second Flotilla

Population Migration / Travel

In a single day, the world turned on its axis. What began as a breathtaking display of meteor showers soon revealed itself to be the arrival of the Second Wave- the beleaguered remnants of the Thesean Flotilla, humanity’s long-forgotten second attempt to colonize Eshveira. Their ships, battered and barely functional after generations of internal mutiny and decay, fell from orbit like burning omens.

Millions disembarked in desperation, bringing with them foreign technologies, fragmented ideologies, and the desperate ingenuity of survivors. Weilding knowledge and tools unfamiliar to the descendants of the First Wave, their arrival sparked a new era. One of breathtaking innovation, yes, but also brutal conflict.

With the tumultuous arrival of the second wave (those who called themselves the English, the French, the Scandinavians, and countless others arriving onboard the second generation ship Theseia sent from Earth over a millennia ago) societal differences led to brutal struggles for dominance and freedom. While the second wave had lost most of their technological capabilities in the wake of several unsuccessful yet destructive mutinies by the time they reached Eshveira, they still had a considerable advantage when it came to technical expertise and ingenuity, which led to both scientific advancement as well as much more devastating wars. Not much is known about these dark times, but what is known is that millions died in the struggles.
