Plot:
In the year 2156, earths atmosphere and air washeavily polluted. All humans required masks to breathe and special clothing to protect their skin. As a result, Earths governments decided to move a portion of humanity to another planet called Aranakus 4. The selection of who gets to go on this trip was extremely biased, highly favouring the rich and powerful, most of which played a part in the ravaging of Earth. 6 ships that were 1 mile across and 21 miles long were built, each taking 2 years. Each craft held 3 billion frozen embryos and 2 million conscious humans, most of which were military. In 2170, 2 years behind schedule due to hundreds of terrorist attacks, 5 of the 6 ships took off, due to arrive at the Aranakus system in roughly 150 years. The 6th ship, however, was brought crashing back to earth after being hit by a 20 megaton nuclear warhead. The crash resulted in the deaths of over 8 million people, 2 million aboard, and 6 million on the ground.
When the ships left, taking with them governments, police, and military, chaos broke out, eventually leading to the enslavement of the poor. By the year 2300, earth was nothing but a dry, dusty, radioactive, nearly lifeless wasteland populated by nearly Neanderthal like humans. By the year 2900, Earth was a blank, entitely lifeless canvas, an example of human arrogance, cruelty, and greed. THE FATE OF THE SHIPS: Only two of the 5 ships in the fleet reached Arakanus 4, and the two that did were quickly destroyed when an unknown anomaly duplicated the antimatter in their engines, causing normal matter to react, destroying the ships and any living thing on Arakanus 4 within five hundred miles. 2 of the ships that didn't make it obliterated each other due to a battle that took place between them, the losing ship was blasted into space, and the winner had strewn off course straight into the nearby star: Ross 154. The third ships engines were torn apart by a terrorist bomb near Proxima Centauri, and was abandoned by the two other ships. It attempted to crawl back to Earth with its one remaining engine, but crashed into the asteroid belt, tearing it apart. THE CONCLUSION: ultimately the endeavour to save humanity ended with it wiping itself out. An example of how arrogant we can be.
