Welcome, Companions

Here we are, ready for the second community event for playing and storytelling together, sharing a common universe with the community, and using Plot Unfolding Machine with the PUM Companion app!

The universe of this event is called Generation Ship to Proxima b, and takes place in a giant spacecraft named “Destiny” traversing the Galaxy, with a complex society that is fragmenting into multiple factions struggling for survival, righteousness, and power. Which role and faction will you take to play?

This event exists thanks to Seal for creating this unique setting. The next credits go to squishyjellyfish for the amazing Random Tables included in the game, and proof-reading of the material. Also mentions to Dex and Kivo for some narrative contributions and cool AI Artwork included in the game.

What is Generation Ship to Proxima b about?

“Destiny” is a huge spaceship of the O’Neill cylinder type, which has already been on its way to the next star for several thousand years. But the approximately 10,000 people in the Utopia cities have changed.

In 2112, the Vatican secretly built a huge generation ship to colonize the next habitable planet, Proxima b, before any other nation. The generation spaceship has only been on course for 1,000 years and still has about 49,000 years to go. What once was a population solely composed of the Neospiritual-Jesuah community has fractured into many sub-religious sects, with some original believers renouncing, forgetting, or changing their ways.

The people aboard have undergone strange mutations due to prolonged exposure to space radiation, but also developed new technologies, aspire to a different government system, and deal with the DEX drug and corruption.

Now D-SEC has seized control of the ship and continues to expand its power. The situation is dire. Undercover intellectuals really think there has to be a way to reinstate the Neospiritual-Jesuah C.H.U.R.C.H and the government of old, without formally triggering a civil war. Others think it is time to think differently.

What did go wrong to end up like this?
