"Welcome aboard the Bridge" "AI, drop the Ring, leave those who want to stay. Plot and navigate our way to the largest local gas giant. We're leaving." "Dropping Ring onto Kepler-452b. Navigation beginning" The hum of the drive roared in the overwhelming silence throughout the ship. The void...

!Announcement! We need a central idea to this story, there will be a vote for any of the three. A World Lost - The galaxy turns out to be full of species in a loose confederation of colonies and homeworlds including humans from the First Expedition and their offspring, leaving Earth to rot...
