It's 2050, space-travelling has evolved to a whole new level; astronauts are able to go to other galaxies nearby. The first group of kids are sent to a newly-found planet in Andromeda. When they crash-land on planet Opodiam, they soon realize that this planet is much like theirs-- but instead of having seventy-two percent of water, like on Earth, there was approximately ninety-four percent of water inhabiting this planet. Needing to find ways for survival, the kids, led by Rowan Moore, scavenge for land, food and clean water until rescue makes its way. What happens when the kids find other beings of life on this planet? When they're condemned to keep secrets for the sake of this new planet? All characters belong to me. Inspired by the game Subnautica (I 100% reccommend buying it, or watching a series of it on Youtube) but it is NOT based in Subnautica. Andromeda is a real galaxy, but Opodiam is entirely made by me (I've researched, and haven't found any planets or moons with that name). TEMPORARY COVER PHOTO

Before the fall of Earth humanity built a great colony ship, ten thousand of the colonist left Earth for a hundred year journey to Gillespie. They came from all over the Earth leaving a planet knowing they would never see another in their lifetime. The Ark is a rotating cylinder the size of a large island with its own train system. It's divided into three main sections, the city, the framlands, and the Lowers. The people are divided into three groups as well, Uppers, Middles and Lowers. Uppers are made of elite scientist, Astro-crops, bureaucrats they made up about 3% of the population. The Middles are are the farmers, the guard, teachers, doctors, the food processors, clothes makers and of course the mechanical maintenance workers. They make-up the 97% of the 10,000 counted citizens. The lowers are criminals and children born to un-paired parents. They live separated from the middles and Upper. In lowers you work in water reclamation or in one of the fish farms that supply protein to the ship. In the year 2149 Dylan De Rovia is trying to wrap her head around the idea that in two year's she'll be paired. That they call marriage on the Ark. Pairing is good most who are paired do end-up staying together because while genetics play good part in determining a match so does personality. Some people choose to use spend this time having a good time with as many partners as possible. Dylan however, vowed that she would never fall in love with anyone before pairing. The universe had other plans however, when Dylan learns that she'll pair with an Upper named Kyive Sinclar life gets more complicated than ever. Falling in love is hard enough falling in love in space that the story.
