Mission Info

Status Current Mission
Description

The Federation has lost contact with data-gathering efforts on a planet that the Preservers had apparently selected as a safe location for humans retrieved from Earth a long time ago. The Federation sent a team to the planet to observe the culture and civilization that has developed to learn more about the ancient cultures and societies on Ancient Earth. However, the team of observers have disappeared, and the data collection satellites have malfunctioned. When the satellite data stops, the Federation is alerted to the situation. It was a long-term mission so they could watch children grow into adults. The mission of the original observation team was to be for 15 years; however, it has now been 20 years and still no word from the team. Now the Federation has decided to send a ship to investigate.

Mission Summary

Arth (formerly 569701 Delta) is in the vastly unexplored System of 569701. A member of the observation team deemed it Arth due to it being very Earth-like. It is a class M planet and has the exact same combination of gasses in the atmosphere as Earth. The percentage of land to water is slightly different, 77% water and 23% land. However, the native plant and animal life is far different. There are no native primates on the planet and the mammals on this planet are vastly different from anything Earth has to offer. But one strange thing is there are humpback whales in the oceans, and they are the largest animal on the planet, but they are not native and appeared to be transplanted by either the Preservers or another race. The whales are the only marine mammal on this planet and have a vast population as they have not been hunted to near extinction. Maybe the Preservers saved the whales as well.
