Poverty has been destroyed, the horrible damage done to the planet in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries has started to be undone. The Sol System Science Federation needs something to steer it on the path to a better tomorrow and that is Project Gagarin.
The Starship Gagarin is mankind’s greatest technological marvel. It combines all the advances of space travel of the twenty-second century, along with biological advances that can feed it’s crew and recycle their resources and can safely bring human beings to the stars. Gagarin’s elected leader is Thomas Kafando, who played pivotal roles in the tail end of the revolutions both of Earth and it’s sister planet Mars.
Gagarin’s mission, decided democratically by the SSSF, is to seek out intelligent life in the universe and befriend it. That will be a difficult mission, but mankind’s most decorated scientists, engineers, diplomats, support workers, scholars and, yes, unfortunately, soldiers are ready to give it everything they have.
