The colony ship Tarian has been drifting through space longer than anyone can reliably remember. Recorded history extends only about 300 years back — everything before was wiped by the Great Data Loss, a galaxy-wide magnetic storm that destroyed all digital archives except the navigation systems buried deepest inside the ship's rock shield. Nobody knows who built Tarian or how to control it. The ship runs on its own. Teams of clone workers are sent to exploit each planet that enters the goldilocks zone. Earth is long gone. This is what remains of humanity. A sci-fi strategy game set aboard the last human vessel.
