Beyond Elara's Reach
In the year 2157, humanity had finally cracked the code to faster-than-light travel. The first expedition to Alpha Centauri was a historic event, filled with excitement and anticipation. Commander Elara Voss led her crew aboard the state-of-the-art starship *Nebula Voyager*, their mission: explore the uncharted systems of the nearby stars for signs of life and resources that could sustain humanity's growing population. Elara had always dreamed of this moment; it was her father's legacy, whose work on the FTL technology brought him to a tragic end during a previous expedition.
