So here it is, that moment you've all been waiting for, I'm sure... That's right, 'troopers, it's contest time!

What we want you to do here is to imagine that five thousand years ago, humans left behind a desolate, desecrated Earth. Now, after countless years of warfare, the third rock from the Sun is at the very edge of the new frontier as mankind seeks refuge on their ancestral home.

As the Captain of a small ship crewed by a ragtag bunch of beggars and thieves, you have been tasked with ensuring the planet is safe for potential relocation... Why? Well, it's a dirty job and someone has to do it.

In 1000 words or less, it's up to you to tell your tale, 'troopers!
