Worlds Apart Online is a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game that sends you into the future
where the planet Earth can no longer sustain life.
The long term effects of global warming took hold and created a runaway warming
of the planet that despite their best efforts could not be stopped. Ships capable of extremely long term space flight were constructed
to evacuate as many as possible, but in the end there were only enough ships and resources to save 100,000.
As the last shuttles left the surface the hearts of the survivors ached as they left over 8 and a half billion people behind.
By using the gravity of Jupiter and then Saturn they were able to increase speed dramatically towards the chosen
destination. All current scientific evidence suggested that there were planets in the Alpha Centauri system that could sustain life.
Alpha Centauri being the closest solar system, it seemed the logical choice. They knew from the beginning that they would
never see Alpha Centauri themselves, but as the last of the human race they knew they were playing an important role in saving humanity.
After several generations of travel the fleet detected a spacial rift. By the time they were able to identify it, the rift had
already started to pull them in. There was no way to escape the pull, and the entire fleet was drawn into it.
When the fleet emerged from the rift, 4 of the 10 ships were missing. The fleet remained in the area for several weeks
conducting scans, analyzing data gathered during the brief journey through the rift, but they weren't able to find any trace of the missing
ships, and the rift was gone.
The fleet chose to continue on. During their scans they had found a solar system not far away that held the possibility of an
Earth-like planet. They positioned a probe where they had emerged from the rift in hopes that the missing ships would find it. The probe had a message
on board for them, telling where the rest of the fleet headed to next. Then they made their way to this newly discovered solar system.
Over the 14 years it took to reach this new solar system, they were able to determine that the rift had carried them
7,500 lightyears to an adjacent arm of the milky way galaxy. The fleet arrived in what is now known as the Solan system. The Earth-like planet Solana
became their new home. 2 other planets in the system, Dakar and Arcada, had breathable air but harsh conditions.
It's now 150 years since the discovery of Solana. Corporations have been created to form the base of an economy, and stimulate expansion and exploration.
Mining colonies have been established on Dakar and Arcada to mine materials that were made illegal to mine on Solana to protect it's environment.
The economy of this new civilization is only now forming as manufacturing facilities are being built, and supply chains are being established.
The largest need right now is for cargo transport pilots. You have been provided with a small transport ship capable of hauling a single standard 10,000
cubic foot cargo pod. Your job is to travel from planet to planet and fill the cargo contracts posted by the Corporations. You'll earn credits for your
completed contracts, and will have the ability to purchase larger ships and other items as you gain experience.
As the economy and supply chains evolve other jobs will become available, but for now the need for cargo ship captains is great.
There will be many opportunities ahead. What you do with them is entirely up to you.
Good Luck.
