Encounter IX
How far would you go to save your heart?
In the year 2221 C.E., facing unstoppable overpopulation and resource extinction, the most passionate and brilliant minds on Earth banded together to send ten ships - 60 souls - into the distant, swirling arms of the Milky Way Galaxy to begin life anew. Ten hopeful planets - all Fertile Crescents with atmospheres, water, shifting tectonics, and safe distances from their nearest stars - served as the blind prayers for the future of the human race.
Ten ships left our solar system. To date, we only know the fate of one - Encounter IX.
Encounter IX follows the fated crew-members of one interplanetary star ship as they fight to establish the first off-world colony. Their journey explores the depths of the human soul, self-preservation, and to what extent we can, and should, go to protect and save the ones we love. Through navigating the daunting waters of geopolitical affairs, civil war, dangerously devout religion, and a planet on the verge of tearing itself apart, six space pioneers grapple, grow, succeed, and succumb through myriad adventures to discover what it truly means to be human, and what we must become to survive.
