[border]"I shivered at the mysteries the past may conceal, and trembled at the menaces the future may bring forth. What was hinted in the speech of post-human entities of the fate of mankind produced such an effect on me that I will not set it down here.
"After man there would be the mighty beetle civilisation, the bodies of whose members the cream of the Great Race would seize when the monstrous doom overtook the elder world. Later, as the earth's span closed, the transferred minds would again migrate through time and space—to another stopping-place in the bodies of the bulbous vegetable entities of Mercury. But there would be races after them, clinging pathetically to the cold planet and burrowing to its horror-filled core, before the utter end." -- H.P. Lovecraft[/border]
Earth was slowly dying. At the exponential rate of human reproduction and consumption of nonrenewable sources, scientists agreed that civilization had a projected timeline of 124 years (+/- 2 years) remaining. Space programs launched across the globe as countries competed to find the next habitable planet. This new space age initiated sophisticated technology. Part of the technology included the capability to create and utilize dark energy. An understanding of wormholes and negative matter has given humanity the power to travel faster than light. The catch was that these traversable wormholes could be utilized only once, two ways, before its collapse. At least a few years are needed to construct a new traversable wormhole, as the creation of negative matter is a delicate and precise science.
In the year 2104, a ship dedicated to the preservation of humanity arrived at the planet Gliese 721 d. Its habitants included people of all ethnicities and cultures. The success of the mission marked the very first time every nation collaborated as allies. For the first few years everyone worked in unity. The goal was to create a unified civilization in an effort to advance as a whole. Predictably this did not last. Eventually, the government split into their respective counterparts on Earth. Five years after arrival, the first shipment of goods from Earth was delivered. A report of the power conflict was shipped back along with scientific findings, data, and specimens. The next shipment took six more years to arrive. Roughly half the amount of what was delivered previously was sent, and to make matters worse, bad news as well.
Correspondence indicated that there was an "oversight". A supernova within 35 light years of Gliese 721 d, since renamed to Providence, had occurred decades ago. It was only a matter of time before it would reach the planet. In order to prevent mass hysteria, the news was kept under extreme restriction.
The year is now 2117. A multitude of conflicts threaten to destroy civilization on Providence; a scarcity of resources has created an increase in crime, and unstable political systems have opened the door to anarchy and a loss of law and order. To top things off, a recently developed drug that promised longer life and preservation of youth is showing signs of serious adverse effects. Its totality of effects is unknown at this time. Furthermore, groups of radicalists and even cults are beginning to take hold in parts of society.
