In 2145 the planet known as Earth was disintegrated by an asteroid which astronomers had reportedly known about for months. Due to an increase in Space Exploration, Colonies had already formed on other planets with the most popular being Vega, but most of the human population still resided on Earth and was wiped out the second the asteroid hit. Economy of the other planets fell, panic was rife and there was an emergency meeting held by the smaller Vega government, the second-chair to the Central Earth Parliament - Central Earth was the hive of activity, the main nervous system of its other colonies producing the main source of food and supplies while the others tried to get their own resources up to scratch. With the CEP gone, Vega became the new core planet. Thousands flocked there to settle into a new life and after the initial shock of Earth being destroyed and peace was restored for almost seventy years. In 2224, the Vega Government denied a deal with neighbouring galaxies to share the wealth and try and create a more united system. In 2225, the Government had all but collapsed and they were forced to relocate thousands of colonies to planets which had better welfare and economy yet many people were refused by the very colonies who had apparently agreed to save them, stating class, education, even family as the reason for refusal. Vega became a ghost planet. The people were divided into those opposing the choice of either making them leave or enforcing them to stay. There were some who stayed out of it, kept quiet and continued to live on Vega like nothing had happened but those were few and far between. Now most of humanity was living elsewhere Vega was pronounced to be the Silent Rock - a much smaller body of politicians were assigned to keep watch over the few hundred who had either been made to stay or remained of their own free will. Life is steady, if not entirely fruitful, and any contact from the rest of the colonies has been gone for a long, long time. Until one little spark was sent out into space, crossing the galaxies and constellations directly to Vega’s comms room; a signal of distress, a call for help on behalf of the rest of humanity… “Vega… Vega, receive us… this is an emergency….” |
