In 2078 A.D., Earth’s fate was sealed when a moon-sized meteor collided with the planet. The impact triggered catastrophic tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions, causing widespread devastation. Entire continents were wiped out, and the skies became shrouded in a dark cloud of debris. The temperature plummeted, and nuclear winter set in. Human civilization, once thriving, was obliterated in mere moments. Governments fell, and society crumbled.

  With the destruction of Earth imminent, humanity’s survival depended on a last-ditch effort. NASA, which had long prepared for such a scenario, took charge of the human race’s escape. For decades, they had secretly built advanced spacecraft capable of carrying billions of people. The ships were equipped with cryosleep technology, allowing people to sleep through the long journey ahead.

  As Earth’s situation worsened, the 2 billion people aboard these spacecraft were launched into the unknown depths of space. The journey was long and uncertain, with the crew in cryosleep for the duration. No one knew if they would ever find another home or if they would perish in the void of space. All they had was hope.

  After years of drifting, the fleet of ships arrived at their new home: NPLT (New Planet), a mysterious and vibrant world. Early scans revealed a planet unlike any other: strange energy fields, floating islands, and powerful, unknown forces. The humans, still in cryosleep, were unaware of the challenges and possibilities awaiting them. Would they find a hospitable environment? Or would they be met with hostile lifeforms?

  When the ships finally landed, humanity was met by the Sanders. These towering figures were unlike anything the humans had encountered before. Initially wary, the Sanders sensed the humans' struggle and offered help. Recognizing the humans’ plight, the Sanders shared their knowledge of the planet’s landscapes, resources, and survival methods. The Sanders helped the humans find a place to live, a lake to live (now known as Lake of Earth.)

  In return for the Sanders’ aid, humans shared their technological advancements. The exchange of knowledge and resources created a deep bond between the two species. The Sanders, who had long lived in harmony with the planet, found humanity’s drive to rebuild and innovate both fascinating and admirable.

  Though Ortruna was home to many different species, it was the Sanders who first befriended humanity. Their bond became the foundation of humanity’s new life. The humans thrived in their new home, the Lake of Earth, forever remembering the fall of their old planet but focusing on their future in the vast unknown. The destruction of Earth had been a tragedy, but it had also led to the creation of a new, hopeful chapter for humanity.
