Generation Ship Demeter launched with a population of 3,000. Late into year 5 of its journey, several of the ship's vital systems abruptly failed. Life support continued to function, but would run out of power in a few decades, and bio-systems could only produce food for a few more years. The Demeter's captain ordered the crew to cover up the problems to prevent a panic. By year 187, the ship's population yet lived, but had regressed into tribalism. Four factions were locked in a conflict they called the "War of the Four Tribes": the Mechanics, the Peacekeepers, the Colony, and the Cultivators. The Peacekeepers had allied with the Colony against the Mechanics, who in turn were forced to seek an alliance with the Cultivators to gain control of the food stocks for leverage. By year 369, the fighting continued between two tribes: the Mechlords, presumably descended from the Mechanics and Cultivators, and the descendants of the Peacekeeper-Colony alliance. The struggle finally ended in year 537, with the Mechlords' descendants, the Last Eaters, at last victorious, albeit greatly reduced in number and long since forced to cannibalize their enemies to survive.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV_U1pgcuFg YouTube: Elite Dangerous Generation Ship Demeter]</ref> | Generation Ship Demeter launched with a population of 3,000.

=== '''Generation Ship Epimetheus''' === | |||
Generation Ship Epimetheus was discovered by CMDR Bro x Legend on November 2, 3304. It is located in HR 2351 in a far orbit of planet HR 2351 4. | |||
Recovered logs tell the story of Joe Collins, who was detained by mistake for stealing a data chip he "was going to give it back" and two days later forgotten in his cell as the ship was presumably evacuated for an unknown reason during some point of its journey. Six days later as still nobody came to check on him, he starts questioning how long the automated system will provide him with food and water, and flush away his waste. Hoping that somebody will find the ship soon and that he can't just drift through the void forever. Collins fourth and final log recorded 1,038 days after his third one, clearly shows him with traits of insanity and despair, thinking the void whispers to him, he lost his sense of time and is just barely remembering his name. There are no further information on why Collins was left behind or why the ship was evacuated, with running life support for over three years and probaply more and not showing any damage on the outside, it remains a mystery.[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/9tf8ju/ever_heard_about_the_generation_ship_epimetheus/ <nowiki>[21]</nowiki>] | |||
