ARK

As a species, our thirst for knowledge is unyielding. It pulled us out of the caves and then drove us across the stars. In the early stages of the 28th Century, humanity has aggressively expanded across the stars. “Officially,” no other intelligent life has been found, except in old ruins on long dead worlds. This changes when a deep space probe detects a gravitational anomaly. Opening a tear through space, a single ship of unknown origin emerges.   The alien ship appears to be broken and beaten. Clearly it has been through hell, but where did it come from? What was it fighting?   A team of Marines, along with Doctor Catherine Tait are sent to investigate. Gaining access to the ship’s main computer, Catherine begins the download. Spending many months researching and translating the alien language and culture, Catherine uncovers a set of co-ordinates. The alien ship’s previous location. THE ARK.   An expedition is sent. Four ships spend the next six months crossing a region of space void of stars. A darkness that seeps into the soul.
