The colony ship is kilometers long - larger than some groundside cities - a series of silver-white cylinders sparkling from within through hundreds of port windows. The central habitation pillar is surrounded by a ring of six fusion drive units that will one day propel this ship into the great unknown, north of the Blue Drift. + +When fully loaded, the Far Horizon will become home to fifty thousand colonists and flight crew members. To accompany the human colonists are more than ten million terrestrial animals stored as cryogenically frozen embryos, each smaller than the period at the end of this sentence. However, while the embryos are all on board in special refrigeration modules, most of the human colonists remain on the planet below. + +"When we are operating at full capacity, we can bring two thousand people aboard the ship every day," said the expedition leader, Captain Anders.
