In the year 2100, the beginning of the twenty-second century, a massive migration spaceship in the shape of a ball left its orbit around the planet Earth and started out on a long journey to the Alpha Centauri System in search of a planet that is capable of sustaining Human Life. Astronomers have not found such a planet in the Alpha Centauri System. But they are confident a planet will be found.
A committee representing many nations was formed ten years ago to plan in New York’s United Nations building, this journey to look for a planet and if one is discovered, colonise that planet and create a population making it a new home for Humans.
Daedalus is the name of the spaceship, and its captain is Fabio Malrein, a Swiss by birth. The executive officer is Jim Duckett, an American. It will be their job to get the spaceship to the Alpha Centauri System, and when there, find a suitable planet for Human Life.
