On October 18th, 2056, a deep space probe was launched on a extrasolar track, as many probes were during its decade,
to explore exoplanets for research, with the promise of potential colonization. It was this probe, FNI-1856, that would
make a promise to humanity, of a future among the stars. When the first bits of data from the entangled communicator
came through, the results were well beyond what was expected. Instead of being full of argon & nitrogen gases like the
scans had detected, the inner atmosphere was rich with oxygen, a thriving ecosystem, and signs of biological life beyond the flora. It was paradise.
Upon the surface of the planet was a material that defied the laws of physics. When exposed to a substance, and given electric current, the material would rend into existence the exact same material, at a near 2:1 ratio. While it was clear what materials had been generated through this method, they were identical in use and form. It was this material that ripped apart the Foundation's Arkship, the Abyssal.
No records exist of what happened the day the Abyssal arrived. Only that huge segments of the ship crashed to the planet and lodged themselves deep underground. The porous rocks and huge vaulted caverns gave way to the sections of reentered ship, enveloping them, and their secrets. Regardless of the catastrophic damage, sections of the ship where the colonists had remained in stasis managed to jettison, and scatter across the planet. These would be the humans that would stake their claim upon the harsh, alien landscape, and eventually return to the stars.
