Flight of the Halcyon

In 1963 Humanity conquered the moon, In 2055 we made a home on Mars. The year 2145 Humanity truly began its expansion into the great unknown. 2323 may see its end. On one cold day in May contact was made with an alien race known only to humanity as the Zar'yg discovered the planet Hope with a population of just over one billion. So far only one ship has been found since then. Earth is sending the best ship in its fleet. This will be the deciding battle of humanities future.
