Beyond

Out past the orbit of Neptune, humanity has sent numerous automated probes and landers to study bodies like Pluto, Charon, and the Oort Cloud beyond. But even with the Epstein Drive, the human need to explore and settle hasn’t reached this far yet. To most, the next step beyond the Outer Planets isn’t the farthest reaches, but leapfrogging over them altogether and launching generation ships like the Nauvoo out towards the distant stars.
There is little of interest in the far reaches of the System to draw anyone out here, although the knowledge that Phoebe originated from somewhere beyond may spark expeditions looking for other evidence of extra-solar intervention. Given the existence of the protomolecule, who knows what else might be out there, waiting?
