The Last Voyage

On the 18th of March 4016, The United Space Confederation launched the last crewed vessel into the depths of space. Earth was on the verge of ecological disaster and all funds from "unnecessary" causes were being redistributed in attempt to prevent the end of civilization. However, the USC strongly believed that humanities hope lay in the unknown of space, so, shortly before their funding was cut, they sent a ship, captained by Charlie Lancaster alongside a volunteer crew, into the depths of space. They hoped with this voyage they could uncover the secrets of the stars once and for all, but to do so, they had to make a sacrifice. The ship and its crew were never coming back to earth.

Who are The USC?

The United Space Confederation (USC) was formed by representatives from each of Earth's governments as a way to further humankind's exploration of space. The were formed in August 3256 to represent Earth's united goal to find habitable land in space. They sent numerous crewed and un-crewed missions all across the universe but they never had any success. Many called their mission hopeless, and eventually discussions began (started by The Earthen Ecological Society to re-introduce the spaceflight ban that had existed until 3256. At the end of March 4016, they were officially given one last chance to show the world that they were doing something worthwhile; launching one final mission. A mission that they hoped could prove everyone wrong.

A signal from the stars

In late 4015, the USC received reports of an unknown signal coming from the stars. Undecipherable, but clear. They hoped that this was the signal they had been waiting for, the proof of intelligent life out there in the universe. The only problem was; nobody believed them. For centuries, signals and sounds had been investigated, money had been lost, and people had died. These investigations never proved anything. They were hopeless. So what made this one so special?

It's like I can hear them singing to me...
Who?
The stars you know? Can't you hear them too?
No...

Is Anyone Out There?

For as long as humans have existed on Earth, they have been fascinated by the idea that there might be someone else out there in the universe, someone who thinks and feels just like them. However, even with centuries of searching, they have never found anyone. Yet they hold onto that hope that the longer they look, the closer they will get to finding someone, anyone... Because, without that hope they must accept the fact that they are alone.
