Earth, ravaged by the failures of humans, had finally run its course. People, scrambling over their chance to escape, fought both with each other and with their governments. Many countries fell apart, and, eventually, the Global Alliance was formed—a new ruling body that would take everyone to Mars. They built a ship named Legacy that would take all the good that came from earth and take it to the red planet. They also helped everyone else build their own ships and get off the planet. Diana, still alive thanks to Axelar, was picked to be Legacy’s captain and leader for the humans on their final voyage. In 2095, the earth was abandoned, left to float through space as a cold and lifeless rock. Billions of people reached the orbit of Mars but got stuck there, for Mars didn’t have the resources to take them all in at once.
