In the year 2432, Earth is on the brink-overcrowded, overheated, and overly complicated. In a desperate bid to preserve humanity, the New Dawn Initiative launches several colony ships into deep space. Most aim for charted, habitable planets.
One ship, however, doesn't make it.
The Starling-7-carrying a small, oddly-matched crew-crash-lands on an unregistered, seemingly barren world called Pebble-9. Sensors labeled it a lifeless rock, but the crew soon discovers it's anything but: a serene alien paradise filled with glowing flora, floating isles, bizarre creatures, and strange phenomena no textbook could prepare them for.
With their tech in shambles and no way home, the crew makes a bold decision:
"Let's stop surviving... and start building."
Armed with scraps, knowledge, and chaotic creativity, they set out to rebuild civilization from scratch. From purifying alien water to crafting solar-powered stoves, from decoding alien ruins to domesticating mischievous local lifeforms, every step is a blend of science, trial-and-error, teamwork-and ridiculous accidents.
But as their inventions grow and their community blossoms, whispers stir beneath Pebble's surface. Ancient ruins. Echoes of civilizations past. A signal waiting in the stars.
And through it all, they keep going-one invention, one mistake, one laugh at a time.
Why just survive... when you can science your way to paradise?
