The Story
It is the early part of the 21st century. Government funding of NASA has continued to shrink since the 1990’s leaving the space program in the hands of a few multinational conglomerates. Now, it appears there’s a slight problem. And it’s hurtling toward Earth.
An enormous asteroid, dubbed by the media ‘Vulcan’s Hammer’ after an old Sci-Fi novel, is headed on a direct collision course with us and the billion megaton explosion will destroy the planet. Only one company responds to the threat by building a Colony Ship.
The starship was assembled in Earth’s orbit and has begun fueling from Jupiter’s atmosphere. By this time it’s too late to build another starship and pandemonium reigns on our home planet.
Utter destruction of Earth means two things: that yours is the last bastion of humanity and that you can’t turn to other survivors for assistance. There aren’t any other survivors.
Your Problem
You have been charged with the responsibility of taking the last remaining survivors from Earth and building a colony on a planet in a distant Star System.
Along the way you will encounter many problems from hostile planetary environments to a rebelious leader who can make off with up to half of your polulation and supplies.
You have to deal with the stresses of a new planet and building the last OUTPOST of humanity.
