Welcome to Hellion. We start a new life in space, how long can we survive? Let's find out.

Hellion is a solar system many lightyears from Earth. Despite its remoteness, it is the destination of the first interstellar colonization mission during the 23rd century. Almost a million colonists, suspended in cryogenic hibernation, leave Sol on a journey that will take many decades.
However, when they wake up, almost a century later, they find themselves trapped inside a nightmare. Instead of living in a manmade paradise they are forced to fight for survival surrounded by deserted stations, incomplete orbital habitats and derelict warships.
With the closest rescue operation half a century away, orbital economy in disarray and no authorities in sight, many turn to scavenging, stealing and outright violence. Others try to live in a more civilized way and begin uncovering the truth behind the largest disaster in human history.

Before mankind ventured across the void it had to conquer the Solar system. The great expanse began during the second half of the 21st century. In less than 200 years mankind had completed its transformation from a terrestrial into a space faring civilization. Over 45 billion people called Sol their home and almost two thirds had never been to Earth.
The reformed UN government put a lot of effort into bridging the gaps between nations during the late 21st century but in so doing it disregarded the divisions that began forming during the great expanse. The early days of space exploration were dominated by various private companies, from small independent enterprises to large international conglomerates. As society changed and technology advanced these companies gradually reduced their Earth-based operations and eventually transformed into independent state-like entities each with their own values, goals and agendas. They were among the first to call space their home.

For a while it seemed that mankind’s expanse had reached its limit and that the stars would forever remain beyond our reach. Until, at the start of the 22nd century, the discovery of the warp-drive opened the galaxy to us. The stars were no longer our guides, they had become our destination.
The advancements in Warp-drive technology rendered interplanetary distances trivial while FTL communications enabled a near instantaneous information exchange. For many, this meant that mankind was finally ready to step outside its cradle. Decades of careful research, scanning and unmanned reconnaissance missions followed. At long last the probes found a perfect place for the new home of mankind. A small red giant star 1700ly away. They named it Hellion.
