When the pandemic hit, she was one of the lucky ones - she discovered that she was immune to the deadly virus that was sweeping the planet. At first, Lillie was just happy to be alive. But as she saw the devastation all around her, she realized that she had a responsibility to do something with her immunity. She joined the Galactic Union, determined to help save humanity.

But she was determined to do more, and she quickly rose through the ranks. As a fighter pilot, Lillie faced off against dangerous pirates and ruthless Chitnoids, defending the Union's borders and ensuring its survival. Her mining hauls were legendary, bringing in enough resources to keep the Union going for years. But Lillie's greatest triumph was yet to come. As the Union's leader fell ill, Lillie was chosen to take his place. She was initially hesitant, unsure of her abilities and afraid of the weight of responsibility that came with leadership. But she soon realized that she was more than capable of leading the Union to even greater heights. Under Lillie's guidance, the Union continued to thrive. She brokered trade deals with other factions, forging alliances that would ensure the survival of humanity for generations to come. And though she faced many challenges along the way, Lillie never wavered in her commitment to the Union and its people. In the end, Lillie's triumphs over pirates, Chitnoids, and even her own doubts and fears cemented her place in history as one of the greatest leaders the Galactic Union had ever known.

Shadrac was a poor man, struggling to feed his family in a world ravaged by the pandemic. He had no job and no prospects, but he was immune and determined to do whatever it took to survive. One day, he stumbled upon a group of traders from the Market Syndicate faction. They were buying and selling goods, making deals and profits in a system where everyone else was struggling to get by. Shadrac saw an opportunity. He started out small, trading what little he had for food and supplies for his family. He learned quickly, honing his skills as a negotiator and a bargainer. As he gained more experience, Shadrac's trading became more successful. He joined the Market Syndicate faction, working with other traders to build a thriving community of commerce and exchange. Shadrac became known as a shrewd businessman, always looking for ways to make a profit and improve his family's situation. He traded in everything from food and clothing to rare artifacts and technology. Shadrac was taking a route he had taken hundreds of times.

Kat had always been driven by a sense of purpose. When the pandemic struck and half of humanity was left vulnerable, she knew that she had to do something to help. So, she volunteered to be part of the recolonization effort for the Free Confederacy to find a new home for humanity. Kat was trained as a scientist. She believed the answer had to be on the other side of the wormhole that appeared. Ready to face the challenges of space travel and the unknown, she boarded her single person fighter and jumped into the wormhole. Despite their best efforts, the colonists were unable to find a suitable planet to inhabit. Instead, they constructed a series of stations connected by wormholes, creating a network of communities spread throughout the galaxy. Kat remained focused on her mission, working tirelessly as a scientist to study the new environment and find ways to improve the lives of the colonists. She also became a skilled pilot, flying the dangerous routes between stations and defending them against the other factions and threats. Years passed, and the colonists adapted to their new way of life. They became a society of spacefaring nomads, traveling from station to station in search of resources and opportunities. However, Kat still believed there was a cure. She jumped into a wormhole and aimed to search for a new home, she was never heard from again.

Conrad was just a teenager when the Dominion Authority came for him. He had little training, and no warning before he was ripped away from his family and forced to join the Authority's ranks. His parents, neither who were immune to the virus, were never seen again. The Authority's training was swift, brutal, and unforgiving. Conrad struggled to keep up with the physical and mental demands. He missed his family and the life he had before. But he was determined to survive and attempt to save humanity. He did not progress through the ranks and made very few credits, so Conrad started pirating to supplement his income. He saw more of the world outside the Dominion Authority's walls. He saw the suffering of the Free Confederation, the opportunistic nature of the Trade Federation, and the democratic ideals of the Galactic Union. The more he saw, the more he began to question his loyalties and his actions.

In the midst of a terrible pandemic that has left half of humanity vulnerable to a deadly disease, a new evolution of humanity is underway. As society struggles to find a solution, a new space initiative emerges - one that will select those who are immune to the disease and send them through a wormhole near Earth to start anew. The selection process is rigorous and complex, taking into account a range of factors from health and resources to skills and social status. But as the chosen few prepare to leave, they face an uncertain future. Our technology is far from being able to find habitable planets, and the journey through the wormhole is fraught with danger. Four factions war to be the government of the stars; Dominion Authority, Free Confederation, Market Syndicate, and the Galactic Union. You are selected to Dominion and are given a ship to begin your journey. What awaits on the other side of the wormhole? An elaborate trap or a helping hand? Can you be the savior of humanity? Join the fight!!! Find new worlds! Save humankind!
