In the twenty-second century on Earth, inter-galactic space travel is in its infancy. On hearing the reported confirmation of the arrival and colonization of a distant planet on the newsfeed, a recently retired CEO decides to sell her multi-billion-dollar corporation and fund the world’s most ambitious colonization expedition to date. Over a decade later, the ship reaches its destination—the planet Oliquin. The colonists, along with the Earth plants and animals that made the journey, are split into groups, and four colonies are established around the planet. Cut off from contact with Earth, and with each other, and with only the most basic infrastructure, industry, and technology available to them, the colonists are set to face the challenges and tribulations of building their new life in this unfamiliar place.
