Eden Project

The Eden Project is a project that features in Earth 2.

History

The Eden Project was an initiative that was established by humanity by the year 2192. At this point, Earth's populace had fled the surface of the planet and began living within orbiting space stations. Only a small number of humans remained on the planet's surface as it became increasingly uninhabitable. This led to the development of a rare and fatal disease called 'the syndrome'. The condition was not acknowledged by the government or the medical community but the syndrome which only affected children was believed to be caused by a lack of an Earth-like environment. At some point, mankind had discovered an Earth-like world that was designated as G889 that was ripe for colonization. Around this time, the billionaire Devon Adairs eight-year-old son, Ulysses Adair, contracted the syndrome. Desperate to save their son, Devon put together a group who will pioneer the effort to settle a planet 22 light-years away from Earth, on which other families with members thus afflicted can settle. An expedition was gathered that was tasked with settling this new world as part of a colonization attempt by a team of explorers. The exploration mission was tasked with forming the New Pacifica colony in order to continue the Human race. However, the government and numerous other authorities were against this mission and infiltrated the colony ships crew in order to plant a bomb and destroy the ship which contained 200 colonists. The Eden Project leaves immediately, jettisoning the bomb before detonation.

Twenty-two years later, the ship arrives at G889, but it crash landed a great distance from the planned landing site. With her group scattered on the planet and supplies missing, Devon marshals what survivors she can find and begins heading west to the planned site of New Pacifica. During their travels, Adair and her companions slowly learn to cope with life on the alien world, which at first seems superficially Earth-like but which is gradually revealed to have a very different ecology, including at least two different native sentient and humanoid species—a short and stout race at the level of development of hunter-gatherers, with a propensity towards kleptomania, known as Grendlers and the much taller and lankier Terrians, who are capable of telepathic communication, can tear rents and tunnels in the earth through a pseudo-psychic process and whose well-being is somehow linked to that of the planet.

Overview
