The Andromeda Galaxy |
 In the year 2500 life on Earth is believed to have been extinguished. It was discovered at the beginning of the 21st century that the star HR8210 was going to explode within a few hundred years. HR8210 was relatively close to Earth, only 150 light years away, and astronomers theorized that when it experienced a supernova the stellar debris from the explosion would reach Earth. That material and the devastating radiation accompanying it would destroy all life, not just on Earth, but throughout the entire solar system.
Late in the 22nd century, scientists discovered a means by which mankind could escape this fate and travel to the distant galaxy of Andromeda, 2,282,000 light years away. Near our solar system existed a natural phenomenon called a wormhole. A wormhole is a rip in the fabric of space that allows quick travel between two very distant points. By traveling through the wormhole the people of Earth were able to travel from the Milky Way to the distant galaxy of Andromeda. Upon reaching Andromeda in the mid-23rd century, life was established on a planet in the Empyrean solar system very similar to Earth. This planet was called New Terra. Mankind then began the colonization of the new universe.
