The Earth has always been a planet thriving with life. From the days of unicellular organisms to the dawn of mankind. The blue planet was once a host of life but its existence is now a graveyard of spacecraft and technology long lost in rubble.
This wasteland is now named Lutum. A place humanity considered their home now deserted the minute all of its resources dried out, the air filled with waste and other lifeforms perished. Humanity found a new home on planet Paradisus. Located in galaxy Alpha about 106 light-years away from our solar system.
Travel to planet Paradisus is 106 light-years away at approximately 99.7% of the speed of light(0.997c). Approximately 30 would pass for the spacecraft to return to Earth. The cruellest part is that the shuttle only carries a maximum of 20 people.
