Efforts to design the computer are futile as each AI program designed proves to be unable to comply with the overwhelming amount of information passing through the systems of the Mothership every instant. The last of the Mothership's systems to be placed is that of the mainframe CPU known as Fleet Command. Though there are some who see the effort to return to the mythic paradise a sin against the heavens, they are overwhelmed by the massive drive of the Kushan to know the secrets of their past. Sacrifices are made, personal needs put aside for the whole. Every ounce of resources available to the ruling council of the Kushan, the Daiamid is devoted completely to completing and launching the Mothership. The construction of the Mothership takes 60 years, but to the Kushan their efforts are worth the chance of rediscovering Hiigara. The hyperdrive salvaged from the wreckage of the Khar-Toba is reverse engineered so that an identical copy may be built into the Mothership's reactor core. With the Guidestone in hand the Kushan settle their remaining differences and build an enormous vessel which they call "the Mothership". The discovery of the Guidestone, on which a galactic map was etched, revealing the location of the mythical paradise Hiigara, a word that means "our home" in the Kushan language. But an even greater artifact awaits excavation. Immediately it is salvaged and studied so that it, and many other secrets of the wreckage now called Khar-Toba or "First City", may be unlocked. A great observatory temple is built within the wreckage of a hyperdrive, a device capable of using quantum physics to transverse the galaxy faster than the speed of light. Inside they find technological wonders unlike any other the Kushan have known.
Immediately an archaeological team is dispatched and the site is excavated, revealing a large city surrounding the wreckage of a ship. Even larger than the others, about the size of a city. But the malfunction turns out to be a stroke of luck, when beneath the sands of Kharak, an enormous metallic object like the ones in orbit of Kharak is discovered. During the launch of one of these satellites, something goes wrong, and the probe turns towards the deserts of Kharak rather than the sky. Reaching for the stars they launch probes and satellites, deploy sensors to search for more of this mysterious wreckage. Obviously of artificial design and forged from some metal unknown to the Kushan, the various Kushan clans called kiith united their efforts to discover the origins of this wreckage. That is until the Kushan begin to discover objects within the orbit of their world, ancient derelicts long abandoned. The ancient Kushan have left their homeworld as exiles and have settled on the desert world Kharak, where over time they would reconstruct their civilization from the ground up, their heritage dwindling into myth and legend. The ancient Hiigaran Empire is long forgotten and has been replaced by their conquerors, the Taiidan who now rule over a corrupt and decadent empire. every effort on the construction of the ship that would seek it out among the stars.
The promise of the Guidestone united the entire population.Įvery mind became focused on the true origin of our people.
The greatest of these was made by the scientist Karan Sjet who had herself permanently integrated into the colony ship as its living core. It would demand new technologies, new industries and new sacrifices. The clans were united and a massive colony ship was designed. Deep inside the ruin was a single stone that would change the course of our history forever.Īnd a single word more ancient than the clans themselves: 2.4 Counterstrike in the Great Wastelandsġ00 years ago, a satellite detected an object under the sands of the Great Desert.Īn ancient starship, buried in the sand.
