Introduction
Earth is a wasteland; Its surface no longer adorning the lush greens and beautifully hued blues it once displayed hundreds of years ago, and neither did its inhabitants live to see the day when the transformation was complete. Though one would argue that it was for the best. Scars marred the land where deep-sea trenches once were, mountains jutting but nude of its snow and vegetation that previously crowned them. The bare foundations of civilization failed the test of time, pitifully outlived by the wastes of humanity that littered areas where, in the past, a great metropolis once stood.
The humankind was destined for greatness, though it would seem they will not find them on Earth. Plagued with this realization and the notion that the planet they called home would not last them forever, humanity chose not to look at the ground and lament. Instead, they looked up, into the abyss of the night skies and found hope. Out there, they weren't limited by the dwindling resources that every nation fought to procure, nor will they chance to bicker amongst themselves because against the infinite emptiness of the universe, there were far more sinister forces at work.
This was the final frontier.
Premise
Hundreds of years of space cruising led humanity to the ends of the galaxy under the pretense that there were other planets like Earth nestled in the orbits of distant stars. Athena, an autonomous research facility that travels alongside the starship Pioneer, has recently made progress when they caught a whiff of a promising biosignature from a nearby system of star clusters as they were about to enter a field of asteroids. What was an otherwise mundane obstacle took a turn for the worse when the module responsible for deploying the ship’s forcefield malfunctions, leaving them vulnerable to the onslaught of rocky debris.
Inevitably hit by a stray asteroid, Athena splinters off from Pioneer, the craft hurtling into deep space. As a last resort, Athena locked onto the coordinates of the exoplanet dubbed as KAD-117 whilst the crew entered cryosleep and hibernated for the duration of the journey. Athena barely entered the atmosphere as it depleted the last of its fuel reserves, merely pulled by the gravity of KAD-117. With no thrust to guarantee safe landing, the craft plummeted much like how a comet would, in a blaze of fire and metal.

Features
KAD-117 is a clean slate. As such, the characters have the opportunity to label and name its various landmarks and continents as well as cataloging every alien lifeform they encounter in the wilderness.
As of now, eleven alien species have been designed by yours truly. All of which have the chance to be encountered. Though some are easier than others depending on the area.
But how will you encounter these aliens? Simply put, each roleplay post has a 35% of triggering an encounter event.
New roleplayers that have proven to be active have the chance of creating their own alien which can be encountered in the wild.
