The colonization of Mars resulted in a catastrophic failure. With an ever increasing population and the question of global changes, one man stumbles across something that could be the salvation of the human race.

Yet when a new opportunity is offered to him, he soon finds himself a leading figure on the Space Initiative, a small group of adventurers, set on realizing the full potential of mankind and allowing humanity to tap into unlimited resources and stretch across the universe.

When new factions arise, the burning question is whether or not Earth will even survive. When tensions get out of control and billions are put at risk, the fate of both Earth and humanity will be decided.
