Voyager 1, the space probe launched in the 1970's, contained a golden disc of mankind's most profound musical works and images of our planet, for if someone should find it. It has flown uninterrupted through our universe for the past 560 years, passing out of our solar system and flying towards the stars.
Mankind has long since been destroyed by its own petty squabbles. All art has been lost, save that preserved by this timeless golden disc.
Flying alone through the emptiness, the last remnants of a dead civilisation, carrying some of its greatest treasures.

Stellaris: The United Nations of Earth
In a future where the scars of ancient conflicts have finally given way to a united humanity, Geneva stands as the pulsing heart of the United Nations of the Earth-a global government born fifty years ago from the ashes of endless wars and crises. In this new era, national boundaries have blurred into a shared dream of unity and progress, and the pioneering spirit of humankind burns brighter than ever. Amidst the silent outposts and bustling research stations scattered throughout our inner solar system, a bold fleet takes shape. The UNS Gagarin, joined by three agile corvettes and the first-ever construction vessel in space, forms the vanguard of an interstellar revolution. Now, with Alpha Centauri shimmering on the horizon, the Gagarin embarks on its inaugural mission to explore this new star system-a journey that is as much about the human spirit as it is about technological marvels. This is not merely a voyage into the unknown; it is a testament to our unyielding determination to overcome the limitations of our past and reach for the stars. Every innovation, every act of courage, and every shared dream weaves together the grand tapestry of a future where the cosmos is no longer an unreachable expanse, but a realm of infinite possibility.
