Escape the Earth!

When Mother Earth dies, its legacy must be carried by those willing to leave it behind. In 2030, a rogue planetoid is discovered on a collision course with Mars, its impact destined to shatter the planet and rain extinction across Earth and most of the Solar System planets. As governments stall, societies fracture, and civilization slowly collapses under the weight of denial and chaos, humanity’s survival falls to an unlikely alliance of private scientists, visionaries, and rebels who refuse to die with the old world. Their answer is Project Starshot: a desperate, decades-long effort to build the UNS Baiame, a colossal sleeper ship designed to carry the last spark of humanity beyond the Solar System. Crewed by a generation raised and forged for one impossible mission, Baiame launches as Mars approaches its final hour. Behind them, Earth falls into ruin. Ahead lies interstellar darkness, unknown worlds, and the burden of becoming the founders of a second human civilization.
