Generation Ship

Commander clutches log. Before me Is true historical relic from a distant past, The GENERATION SHIP ATLAS. Records indicate that there was a major malfunction with engineering. All crew members escaped via escape pods,all but one who stayed behind to ensure that the others got off safely including his wife and un-born child. Such selfless sacrifice

Generation Ship Atlas observed by CMDR Clutch

A Generation Ship is a large starship with a self-sustaining environment that travels interstellar distances at sub-light speeds. These vessels were conceived before the advent of faster-than-light travel and cryogenic stasis, and were designed to support hundreds or thousands of people for centuries. Successive generations of colonists would be born and raised in the confines of a Generation Ship until it finally arrived at its destination world, which the latest generation would then colonise.
