Generation Ship: Difference between revisions

'''Generation Ships''' are large, self-sustaining environment ships which allow for very slow interstellar travel at sub-light speed. They are a type of [[Megaship]].

The first Generation Ship ~~left the Earth~~ in 2097 and ~~they were sent for several decades. Up~~ to 70,000 in total ~~left~~ the [[Sol]] system ~~before~~ hyperdrive technology ~~was invented~~ in the 22nd century, ~~rendering Generation Ships obsolete from then on~~.

The first Generation Ship was launched in 2097, and up to 70,000 in total departed the [[Sol]] system over the next several decades. Generation Ships were rendered obsolete with the invention of hyperdrive technology by Li Qin Jao in the 22nd century, and have not been constructed since.

Generation Ship Phobos was discovered by CMDR SWiFT ViiZIONS and CMDR NEXTMHGDANGER on August 8, 3304. It is located in Coelachi, and can be found by traveling to Coelachi 3 d and then changing course toward HIP 10229 for 1,893 ls.

Generation Ship Phobos succeeded in safely reaching its target world, ~~Coelachi 4~~, and established 15 settlements on it. Unfortunately for the colonists, the planet's indigenous flora and fauna were toxic and highly aggressive, and casualties quickly began to mount among survey teams. Not long after the colonists had declared an end to their mission and dismantled their landers, a number of creatures breached one settlement and slaughtered most of the inhabitants. The survivors trekked to Settlement Delta, but found it abandoned with signs that it had also been attacked. While Delta's lander had been kept as a monument instead of dismantled and could be used to return to the Phobos, its fuel cells were dry and it took several days to replenish them. When the survivors finally reached the Phobos and began reactivating its systems, they discovered too late that one of the creatures had stowed away aboard the lander. All but three colonists were killed before the creature was trapped in the farm pods, but it soon escaped and killed the rest. It is presumed that none of the other settlements ~~on Coelachi 4~~ survived either, and the Phobos reached its present position after its fuel ran out or its systems shut down.<ref>[https://old.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/95ki0j/generation_ship_phobos/ /r/EliteDangerous: Generation ship Phobos]</ref>

=== Generation Ship Phanes ===

Generation Ship Phanes was discovered by CMDR Nexusprime and CMDR Napp96 on August 24, 3304. It is located in Cephei Sector NX-U b2-0, orbiting planet Cephei Sector NX-U b2-0 5.

Generation Ship Phanes reached its target world without incident, but its crew discovered upon arrival that the planet was uninhabitable. While the colonists wanted to turn back to Sol, the ship's command decided to continue its mission and search for another planet to colonize. This provoked an uprising that was violently suppressed. In order to keep the colonists under control, the ship's command fabricated reports that an unknown cataclysm had wiped out human civilization and the people aboard the Phanes were the only surviving humans in existence. The lie persisted unquestioned for generations, until one crew member, Warrant Officer Noonan, became suspicious of an elderly, senile senior officer named Admiral Kerr repeatedly insisting that a progress report be sent to Sol. Noonan used Kerr's command codes to access the ship's archives and learned the truth, and then told some trusted friends. Within hours, the news was everywhere and the Phanes once again became a battleground between those who wanted to return to Sol and those who wanted to continue the mission. The conflict likely resulted in the deaths of all of the ship's crew and passengers.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/9a1zqx/new_generation_ship_discovered_within_the_bubble/ r/EliteDangerous: NEW GENERATION SHIP DISCOVERED WITHIN THE BUBBLE - The Phanes]</ref>
