It's the year 2283. Russia has declared war on America, launching into a nuclear standoff. Meanwhile, the young, promising trainees of NASA's space exploration program prepare for their mission aboard the Andromeda, a state-of-the-art spacecraft designed to find a planet to sustain a human colony. However, an incoming nuclear bomb forces them to take off sooner than expected, bringing unexpected consequences along with a few unexpected crew members.
A sarcastic prodigy striving for perfection. A depressed artist with a love for the stars. A lonely journalist searching for her place in the universe. A goofy mechanic with an affinity for animals. A workaholic doctor who wants nothing more than to unlock the secrets of the universe. A kind botanist with an ear for music. An effervescent vlogger who yearns for a better life among the stars. A swashbuckling sailor looking for adventure.
The crew all have wildly different pasts, lives, and motives. Will they be able to befriend each other, or even tolerate each other?
A story full of aliens, Russians, friendship, crazy adventures, and worlds unknown.
