Continuity of history, ensuring the ships survive the trip and being able to ensure the cropos remember that governments rule while the corpos follow the rules or get trust busted.

As you can guess i was a purity main in Beyond Earth

Nukes because with how fragile everything is they make a very convincing threat. Plus they let us punch above our weight in space.

Also I think "Snowball's Chance" would be a good ship name.
 
I am a big, big fan of The Culture's fashion of naming ships, and these are my suggestions along those lines along with some poetic/meaningful choices. I'm sorry if I got a little carried away. U.N.S. means "United Nations Starship".

U.N.S. A Polite, Yet Firm Rejection of Extinction.
U.N.S. Leaving the Black
U.N.S. Thanks for the Memories
U.N.S. I'll Be Back
U.N.S. People Pleaser
U.N.S. Precious Cargo
U.N.S. Enduring Ideal
U.N.S. Homo Sapiens Stellaris
U.N.S. Face of God
U.N.S. Surly Bounds of Earth
U.N.S. Lay Deep Foundations
U.N.S. Right On Time
U.N.S. Fly By Night
U.N.S. That Was a Little Much
U.N.S. Evolution's Mild Disagreement With the Human Race
U.N.S. Deeper Into Darkness, Further Into Light
U.N.S. Uncertain Gravitas
U.N.S. All That Was, and Shall Be

My personal top 5 of that list are :
U.N.S. Leaving the Black
U.N.S. Deeper Into Darkness, Further Into Light
U.N.S. Thanks For the Memories
U.N.S. A Polite, Yet Firm Rejection of Extinction

About the complications... how much worse could the epidemic get? We're already facing total species extinction. Let's just go for the one least likely to jeopardize our resources.

You can get fungal zombies like in game one of art used came from? Or Feywill that kill plants?

Plus frankly it isnt that hard for humanity to survive on this Earth.

Feywild right now leave plants alone so there will be still breathable atomsphere outside where you can easly farm food on large scale to then heavly process to make sure any spores are killed. Some plants will die due to lack of pollination insects/brids but most will survive.

People can travel outside with only masks covering their faces and air filters as this isnt some caustic effect and will be fine unless having open wounds.

With how fungal spores are much bigger then viruses or bacteria you can easly proof houses against spores by covering them fully in very thick layers of paint or insulation foam before adding air filter(that dont need to be of very high quality) in single place and some manner of decontamination chamber.

I doubt sea creatures will be affected by how salt water would fuck over fungal spores meaning that oceans will remain biodiverse.

And with how agressive infection is after few decades all non immune animals/insects will die, killing spread of fungus untill natural changing of weather over decades kill rest of inactive spores letting humanity reclaim Earth out of their habitats.

That is if they dont figure a way to immunise themselfs to it or make some manner of viral/bacterial pathogen to kill Feywill fungus before that time.

Frankly I rate chances of survivial and properity of humanity on Earth much higher then those risking Exodus.

We shouldn't leave our history behind.

My ideas for the names of the ships are fairly simple. UNS America, UNS Europe, UNS Africa, UNS Asia, and UNS Oceania.

I count the fact that both options are being pursued as a good thing. Both because it avoids an all eggs in one basket situation but also because all the things the dome and bunker builders figure out over the next 100 years the exodites can make use of when building the colonies.

Normally I would chose the lowest risk option, but I don't want the Corpos to get a head start.

Prioritize getting as many people out as possible, and extra storage space for a general bonus.

It was going to eventually happen anyways, and this is the least likely to actually endanger the ships or surviving population.

Secret Corpo Meet-Up(Semi-Canon)
  • Sidestory
    • Nwabudike Morgan sipped his coffee as he watched the buffoon from Buy n Large launch into yet another Tirade over his continued failure to get a foot in the door of the UNCHR's ship building commission. The man's idea to offload the development costs for the Ark ships onto the United nations had merit, after all the UAC had gladly bought bought the license Project Ixion Ark desgins and Morgan indusitries had already signed the contracts to supply the actual construction of the UN hulls, but his obcession with the Axiom class Luxery Ark concept ensured that not one of his outreach attempts bore fruit.

    "Good day Mr. Morgan." Samuel Hayden's partialy syntheized voice echoed from the speakers as his hologram appeared at the table and footage of the fool was paused.

    "And to you as well Samuel. Your voice is steadier today; have your treatments been working at last?"

    "Yes, if progress continues I may yet be able to survive the journy but we have more immedite concerns."

    "Buy n Large I assume. We may need to move up our plans upto have Mr Forthright assume leadership over Mr Rockford."

    "Already in motion. I refer instead to our efforts to gain infulance over the colonist selection tribunal. They held the final vote 20 minutes ago and our proposal failed."

    "And the winning option?"

    "Offically they are going for the compromise option for reasons of fairness but from what I can tell Abstergo overplayed their hand. Their worm was caught within minutes of insertion in the selection alogriathem."

    "The Assasins must have warned them."

    "No, I did." Charles Bishop Weyland confesed as his own hologram flickered into life. "Frankly the Templar's obcession with control blinds them to the fact that the candidates they were going to push for would gotten them caught anyway."

    "Your actions are less then optmial for our goals." Samuel harshly groweled out.

    "They are nessary for our goals." Charle's fist slammed down despite his age. "The physical lottery and more rigirous interview process is the only way we keep the more short sited among our 'allies' from just boarding the United Nations arks rather then following the plan. If we don't keep them on task we won't reach the agreed minium target of ten high capcity arks."

    "We may need the change our target regardless" Nwabudike broke in. "Buy N large has already signed orders to commission a minimum of three Axiom class liners configured for intersteller travel and an unknown number of ones lacking long range drives. My projections put the intersteller models at only being able to handle 20,000 passengers each due their choice to make them luxery liners over sleeper ships as we attempted to push. With Mr Forthright's accesion we may be able to change the desgins to carry 30 to 35 thosuand." As he spoke the remaining 5 seats filled with the holograms of their co-conspirators.

    "The RDA nearly became a simular issue." Caroline Johnson said. "They opted to used the Venture Star concept over the Ixion concept but have budgeted to build a fleet of ten and should be on schedule. I've already ordered efforts to constrain their anti-matter production so they will have to depend on fusion rockets like the rest of us. On a more postive note the UN is forceing them to share their landing module technology with the everyone attempting evacuation and my sources indicate that an Ixion varient is already under devlopment."

    "Good, being able to land the heart of a new colony upon arrival will increase your odds of sucess once you fninish the journy." Charles sighed and leaned back in his chair as everyone's gaze snapped to him. "I'm too old and too frail to reach orbit let alone surive the trip. Let someone younger have that seat. I'll do what i can for those left behind."

    "Understood, what other concerns do we have?" Nwabudike asked.

    "We have eyes on one Miriam Godwinson." The OCP repersentive reported. "She is a leading candidate for the Abesrtgo mission. On the surface she is a firm beliver in using relgion as a means of control but the templars have missed that she is a true beliver and may attempt to compromise the other Arks upon arrival."

    "We had a close call with the founder of the Human Hive cult. Sheng-Ji Yang attemted to get his own people into UNCHR. Their attempt was detected by Pravin Lal and shut down with no need for intervention." Samuel added.

    "Corazon Santiago of the Spartan Way Milita was eliminated three days ago dispite the RDA's wishes to court her into their military forces. Pyschological modeling suggested she would have attempted to coup which ever ship she ended up on." Caroline commented placidly through a twitch of her mouth gave away her distain for the dead extremist.



    okay if someone wants to devlop this further go ahead. I hit writers block and so will post what I got out.

    This is a good omake, despite been stated as incomplete. If anyone could pick this one up from where it left off it will be great if not I will gladly accept it after the deadline.
     
    Lunch Atop a Arkship
  • Sidestory
    • Lunch Atop a Arkship

    On paper, the diets of the workers of the various orbital shipyards and spacebound industries should have been diverse in variety and taste. While the population of humans in space prior to announcement of the Terran Evacuation Plan was always limited, rarely exceeding single digits, it did exist, and thus the various space agencies had a wealth of data of regarding what food stuffs should be used to feed the quickly growing population of workers and support staff required to construct the Arks.

    One of the first component modules that were added to the five space stations that served as the starting point of the shipyards for the Ark ships, right after the docking, cargo, and habitation/life support modules, were small canteens, that served not only as dedicated food preparation areas, but also social area where the workers could meet. These canteens could prepare or serve a wide range of foodstuffs suited for Zero-G, ranging from meals like soups to burritos to even desserts like Mousse or Jello.

    They were also rarely visited by the workers.

    The simple fact of the matter was that most of the physical work on the Arks took place well away from the canteen, meaning that the only times the workers were nearby when waking up or going to sleep. As construction continued, even this was soon subject to exceptions, as the completion of several pressurized sections lead to some of the workers using them as rest areas instead.

    Not helping this was that the 'vigor' of the various workers. If the goal of the survival of humanity, and the obscene paycheck it necessitated for them wasn't enough motivation, the belief that actually having practical experience with the ships would almost certainly guarantee their and their families being part of the selected crew was. The end result was an almost too- enthusiastic workforce, that would prioritize quick and portable foods over freshly made meals, in order to resume work as quickly as possible. As such, the visitors to the canteens were almost entirely support staff and coordinators that managed the quickly growing industrial sprawl floating in Earth's orbit.

    Instead, the style of dining the workers preferred was the pouch-and-straw. Originally a jury-rigged assembly of a straw and tube in the helmet attached to a duct-taped container of liquid, usually a smoothie or soup, the various engineers on the workforce quickly fabricated a more standard equipment, that could swap out pouches without taking off their suit, even in space.

    Of course, as quick and efficient as this all was, this didn't mean that people didn't find a way to have fun:

    "Okay guys, we've take your pick." said the voice from the radio.

    The trio of fully suited workers gave side-eyes at the three plastic pouches filled with dark red liquid, all of which had their flavor labels covered by tape. Surrounding them was their work gang, attached by cords to the massive incomplete ship hull they were assigned. Many of them had already inserted their own chosen pouches to their Nutrient On-suit Mechanism's intake ports, in a space-age version of Lunch atop a Skyscraper.

    Unfortunately for the trio, their names have popped up for the daily tradition of Liquid Luck Roulette, meaning their choice of lunch was in the hands of fate.

    The first cautiously grabbed one of the offered pouches, inserting it into his port. A few seconds passed: "Tomato soup."

    The second repeated the action: "Also tomato."
    The third stared at the remaining pouch with the desperate horror of a man facing down his execution. Nonetheless, he slowly attached it to his NOM and draft a cautious sip, but suddenly breaking in a coughing fit.

    "Sweet god, what the hell is that?!"

    "That, John, is Dakgejang. What, too hot for you to handle?"

    "It feels like I touched my welding tool to my tongue, but worse! Please tell me someone also packed some milk."

    One of the suited figures held up a white pouch, "But you know the rules, you have to finish the entire thing before drinking anything else."

    "I hate you all," the unlucky worker spat out, to the schadenfreude of his co-workers.

    Because even with the Earth spinning to their doom below, and uncertain stars above, humans will still find the time to have fun with the stupidest things.

    Honestly, not even sure what I was going for here, hence why it meanders quite a bit, and switches between fun historical fact and an actual scene. Just wanted to write something.
