The TERRA NOVA, a starship with more than thirty thousand crew on board, fell into the sphere of influence of a transmitter that had been created eons ago by a technically far superior race.

The ship, under the command of Arn Polo, found itself literally at the other end of the universe. All the time in the world seemed insufficient to ever reach the home Milky Way Galaxy.

And none of the spacefaring peoples encountered so far seemed even remotely capable of bridging such distances.

The truth was that the crew of TERRA NOVA did not even have the ability to locate their galaxy of origin.

At least ten billion light years separated TERRA NOVA from its home Milky Way and Earth.

From the personal log of Arn Polo, Commander of TERRA NOVA:

The Faahrgs are an aggressive, insectoid species whose sphere of influence we have tried to circumvent as far as possible. They are highly intelligent, proficient in interstellar space travel and hyperspace radio. The data collected and analyzed via remote reconnaissance confirms what we have already learned during stopovers in other inhabited systems, where the Faahrgs are feared as predatory aggressors.

The Insectoids are apparently unisexual and reproduce by cloning, which gives them the ability to raise massive armies in a very short period of time, but otherwise precisely adjust population size to the planetary resources at hand.

According to the analyzed data, there are several Faahrg star empires of different sizes, of which the so-called Empire of Faahrgon exercises a kind of hegemony over the other empires, which apparently also frequently wage war among themselves.

We are still uncertain about the exact extent of the Faahrgs' sphere of influence. We are trying to avoid a military confrontation at all costs.

As for our situation in general, it seems more and more questionable whether we will ever
