Origin:
"One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind", that is what Neil Armstrong said when he became the first astronaut to land on the moon. Ever since then, we as a people have always looked up and wondered where else can we go beyond our little blue planet. Humanity has made great technological advancements from energy, robotics, even testing our very first FTL engine. But despite our accomplishments we remained divided, whether by conflict, ideological differences or even by the will of one leader.
But all that would come to an end after 2050 when humanity faced the…
[X] Last Earth War
"Or as the boomer generations refer to it as World War 3, a final global conflict ignited between human alliances. To this day it is still debated as to what caused this conflict either it was through political, economic or both. Tensions run high as what starts as a limited strategic release of nuclear weapons snowballs into a bitter exchange of warheads aimed at civilian population centers. When the dust clears it becomes clear that a new way will have to be found to survive and to secure the raw materials needed for society to continue."

[X] Sigma Plague
"Records were lost to the origins of this disease, whether through eating a sick animal, experiment gone wrong or even by some doom cult we will never know, but we do know is what followed. Symptoms of the disease begin to emerge, medical facilities across the world are quickly overwhelmed by the number of cases. Social cohesion starts to break down, riots occur around the world and even some governments collapse bringing more death and chaos. By the time a cure was developed and distributed towards the last person, half of the human population perished. With an abundance of space and resources in Earth created by tragedy settling to another world besides our own will ensure the survival of our race."

[X] Great Environmental Collapse
"Had they listened to the climate change report back then maybe perhaps most of the world would still be habitable. Sadly though a decade of chaos ensues as rising sea levels, collapsing ecosystems, broken alliances, and other calamities begin plaguing the world. These crises eventually lead to the creation of 1.2 billion environmental refugees from destabilized nations, made up of families, civil workers of varying professions, and others. In order to deal with the chaotic world, humanity used their limited resources to implement advancements in energy, desert irrigation, hydraulic levees, and coastal walls. These succeed, as entire stretches of coastal cities, farmland, and supply chains are saved from destruction. With the Earth's environment stable for now and with a depleted pool of resources, mankind must look elsewhere beyond its home planet."

[X] Asteroid Impact Event
"No one likes when someone throws a rock at your house since it could cause damage, unfortunately for the inhabitants of planet Earth this space rock would cause an extinction level event that not even bacteria would survive such impact. As someone would expect at first chaos and mayhem across the world, then a plan is formulated to destroy the asteroid before it reaches. And when that failed most people would lose hope and chaos would ensue. Except the remaining functioning governments would in secret build these "ark ships" that would take them to the stars and give humanity a second shot while also taking with them their most advanced technologies and whatever resources they will need to build a new home. Of course the whole process was on a tight schedule while still living in a world that at point fell to total nihilistic anarchy. In the end hundreds of thousands of souls would depart towards the unknown while watching their once home world covered in cracks and magma…"
