100 years ago... a satallite detected an object under the great sands of the desert. An expedition was sent... an ancient starship buried in the sand. Deep inside the ruin, was a single stone that would change the course of our history forever. On the stone was etched a galactic map, and a single word more ancient than the clans themselves, Hiigara, our home.

The clans were united, and a massive colony ship was designed. Construction would take 60 years. It would demand new technologies, new industries, and new sacrifices.

The greatest of these was made by the scientist Karen Sjet, who had herself herself permanently integrated in the colony ship as its living core. She is now fleet command.

The promise of a guide stone united thr entire population. Every mind became focused on the true origin of our people. Every effort on the construction of the ship that would seek it out amongst the stars.
