A visual narrative of a dark future in the stars.

Fifteen years ago, the skies above Uhlen burned. What fragmented nation pushed the button first - why they plunged the world into a sea of nuclear fire… That stopped mattering a long time ago. Yet the truly remarkable thing from all of it is that the end-times came and went. Nations, politics, who did what - none of that mattered. Men walked out among the fires and built cities from the ashes. The living, breathing heart of our new world became the very atomic power that decimated it - fusion. We now face a second extinction. The blood flowing in the veins of our reactors - the life coursing through our cities - the mineral that powers fusion, it all finally ran dry. On the brink of annihilation, we are preparing our first expedition to another world, another solar system. If we fail, an entire species will be gone. If we succeed… I fear what we’ll find out there. All I know now is that our future lies far afield.
