This is the first part of my story and is mostly world establishing. Each of the three ships crashed in a different location, the science ship crashed in a subtropical jungle, the military defense ship crashed into the mountains on the western coast. The Alloanos crashed near a huge river canyon in an area of low hills not far from a mountain range and a plains area.

In 2061 discoveries about gravity, space, and time made by the Large Hadron Collider Team lead to several experiments that unlocked major discoveries many of which took several years to apply for practical technology. At that time earth had become heavily over populated but advances in energy technology had allowed the population on earth to reach a peak level without too much damage to the planet’s biological balance. While they had done a good job protecting the planet the human population could grow no more without complete collapse of all ecosystems so instead Space Harbor International was built. The harbor’s purpose was to build and service sections of new space habitats scattered throughout our system. Mining Asteroids and comets for the needed materials protected earth from depletion while one of the first advances from the Hadron collider artificially high graviton generators created the earth like gravitational effects that humans needed to remain healthy in space. Hydroponics a technique for growing food that has existed for some time prior to colonization efforts made the space colonies self-sufficient. With the advent of the first mega colony most of earth’s human population left the planet for the nearby space habitats. The people left behind rapidly became self-destructive most where religious extremists and zealots who refused to leave the planet and called the people moving spaceward dirty heretics invading god’s domain and predicted falsely that they would suffer a great fall like the tower of babble.
The space colonies where peaceful tolerant of differences and rapidly growing with no shortages of food water or living space, and with ample energy and technology that was highly efficient and effective, coupled with great advances in medicine especially in the field of genetics the space colonies rapidly developed into utopian societies. While on earth left with the weapons of the past centuries and their bitter hatred of each other the intolerant turned on each other and with a few nuclear I.C.B.M launches the last of these earth bound intolerant humans went extinct. All of this happening the timespan of around 50 years. Even though the planet was no longer needed for the human population’s survival, the space dwellers looked down on the ruined planet with guilt. They had abandoned the planet to the ruin it had become at the hands of the fools they had left in its care. 40 years of heavy re-terraforming was employed and soon earth was home to a portion of the enlightened society that had once fled its surface for space. Many of the earth recolonizers found that something about the open spaces and planetary atmosphere where more pleasant than the tightly confined colonies. Vacationers planet side found they didn’t want to return to cold empty space so much. Luckily a solution was offered Interstellar Colonization Scout Proto type 22A a high tech and top secret ship had made a successful round trip to an earthlike planet and returned the vessel had been automated and had studied the effects of a particular form of faster than light travel. Having found that the travel systems and the planet would be safe for humans meant that a whole new planet and system where open to humanity, thus the first human colony ship was built loaded with passengers and shot out into space.
Several hundred years later humanity had spread out, far and wide along the galactic arm that our home planetary system resides in. Spreading inward towards the galactic center we encountered our first intelligent alien life. First contact with the warlike race did not go well, they ambushed a lightly armed research vessel and murdered the crew horrifically. Stealing the ship they copied the engine system as best they could without understanding the basic principles that allowed the engines to function and then started attacking human populated planets without cause. The first inter-species war was decades of humans defending themselves and reclaiming stolen worlds. Little did we know that warp tech had allowed our enemy to stir up several other intelligent species in a chain reaction of wars that lasted for over two thousand years. Eventually the more war like races brought themselves to the brink of extinction when the other races formed a peace treaty and governing system, a kind of galactic senate/republic not too dissimilar from “The Republic” in the human fiction work known as Star Wars. Humans while talented at war by this time where tired of the whole affair and having shown ourselves to be a surprisingly adaptable and independent species decided to take up life mostly in the outer reaches of our galaxy. With the wars over humans went back to terraforming and inhabiting worlds, many distinguished military members decided to retire and using their savings from their war wages some of them band together to buy private colonization charters ships and supplies and gather groups that wish to settle in peaceful far removed colonies. Admiral Lothar a distinguished leader during the latter part of the wars and well into his sixth decade (and still very young by the standards of human aging in this time period) A tall man with a head of naturally black soft hair and deep blue eyes he is the elected leader for the colony party Dawn Star, named after an isolated settlement in a vintage game from the pre-space colonial period its full immersion remake was popular during this generation’s youth.

“Admiral Lothar, we are entering the Ulthittar system!” shouted Dr. Nathanial Williamson the gray haired, violet eye-colored, and retired professional astronavigator.
“What! Contact Solaris and Percius and shut down the tempus manipulation field before the quantum wake effects Ulthittar.” Damn it, how did they get pulled so far off course, they were supposed to be swinging wide around the unstable giant star.
“Yes sir!” the helms men and communications officer said in unison.
“Sir, Contact from Solaris and Percius” reported communications officer Samuel Tannin his head covered in blond hair with violet eyes, just as always, just as cool as when they were serving in the human intersystem republic army.
“Vocals only keep the screens trained on the star.” the Admiral commanded, if that star collapsed while they were this close to it they wouldn’t have time to escape.
“Captains Kiseary, Tanga: damage report.”
“All fine, sir” they announced in unison a moment later, having prepped a status report as soon as they dropped out of warp unexpectedly.
“Any causalities?” asked the Admiral.
“None on Percius, sir,” replied Captain and Commander Tanga a hardy gray haired man of African descent whose ship was in charge of defense for the colonists.
“Nothing worse than a broken arm on my ship, sir.” Stated Dr. Kiseary, the red headed female captain of the research and technology ship a talented biologist and a decent leader. The exploration corporations had their greedy little claws out trying to convince her to sign on with them. Lucky for the colony her wife was none too pleased with the idea of spending the rest of their lives traveling from one dangerous planet to yet another even more deadly planet in search of potential trade goods at a meager rate of pay for some one of Kiseary’s educational level.
“I do have some really bad news sir new got caught in the nebulous eruption of the star, it’s why we were knocked off course sir. Ulthittar is going to implode in less than two hours.” Having just looked at the sensory data her ship and crew had gathered and complied for her.
“Is there any way to survive this?” asked the Admiral, after surviving three interspecies wars there was no way I going to give up and die.
“Well as you know when a super-massive star like Ulthittar implodes, they form black holes and it would take three days to get to a safe distance away. It is only a theory but the combination of the massive amounts of black matter in the region of the star combined with quantum-waves we just bathed the star in they could open a wormhole.” Said Jan a new voice over the intercom from Dr. Kiseary.
“A wormhole to where exactly?” asked captain Tanga.
“We have no idea, and it’s only a theory,” replied Dr. Kiseary “and I’m more familiar with intestines than astrophysics,”
“It might just work, and it is our only hope of survival” said Jan the head of astrophysics aboard the Alloanos.
“Nice of you to join us, I know you would much rather be working on simulations down there in the astronomy lab,” I said to the newest member of the conversation the black haired Asian decent women gave a polite bow trained into her by her very traditional family “but how can we survive this? Wouldn’t the spaghetti affect destroy us on the way in?”
“Normally yes but if we throw the Q.T.E.S (Quantum transit engine system). in reverse and give it as much power as possible it could keep us together enough to survive,” replied Jan.
The next two hours was controlled chaos for everyone as the necessary reconfigurations and safety precautions where made just in time to enter the wormhole and disappear.

“We’ve successfully entered the worm hole!” shouted Jan happily.
“Yes but why haven’t we Exited yet?” Asked the Admiral “I thought that traveling through a worm hole was almost instantaneous.”
“It is” replied Jan “but the reversed Q.T.E.S. has slowed time down from our point of view so it will seem much longer than it really is but it will give us time to rest and get everyone out of cold storage and set up for Emergency Evac in the off chance we get shot out at something solid.”
“Okay officer Renaldy call down to the medical bay and have them start waking the iced sleepers and get everyone up and down to the med bay to start hauling the partially waked Icys to the Evac pods and necessary supplies to the shuttles, move it!” Admiral Lothar commanded.
“Ensign Galatia Lirral reporting for duty” Galatia said as she stumbled through the door with her neon hair and green bioluminescent eyes, her ancestors had participated in a gene modifying crazy several centuries ago in a planetary system someone had decided to call system rave, she’s human just with an extreme color pallet.
“Ensign what are you doing on the bridge you can’t a have been out of cold storage for very long.” chided the Admiral “you guys help her to her chair.”
“It’s my duty, the only reason I’m able to be a part of this colonization venture to handle the complicated logistics of emergency evact’s and early colonization.” Galatia replied very in mater-of-fact, business-like manner that would have appalled her ancestors “besides I heard that you were trying to do my job all by yourself and screwing everything up.”
“You try organizing an emergency evac. with no idea what the emergency is or even if there is going to be an emergency.” replied the Admiral.
“I’ve done exactly that countless times but I’m a trained logistics officer and you are not,” said Galatia remarking on her service during the war one of her more remarkable feats being the organization of a successful planetary evac after a complete military retreat leaving only her and a few system militia units left. “but you did a pretty good job considering your lack of training in that field. I would appreciate it if you would turn over control of logistics to me now.”
“Handing over command of logistics and good luck to you” I replied, relieved to not have to handle that aspect of our little could be disaster.

The announcement came over the ships intercom that they had safely exited the worm hole and where now moving a safe distance away but that their location appears to be nowhere in the Home Galaxy.
“Also you will be glad to hear that the astronomy department scans have identified a nearby system that has two already inhabitable worlds in it and they’re only two months travel away!” said Jan in the convoy wide announcement, those two months where fare shorter than the half year of travel they had left to reach their previous destination.

“Well that is some incredibly good news hear I was thinking, we were all pretty much doomed to a nasty fate as we departed the worm hole or to be left without a home drifting in open space.” I stated from the larger main colony ship I was truly relived it would have been very bad if we were stuck in space longer than our planed travel time.

What Jan didn’t mention was the fact that their reverse engine system was fried resisting the forces of the worm-hole and that their arrival was unlikely to go smoothly, but with the parts they had they could at least rig the landing so that the passengers wouldn’t die or have too many incapacitated to start colonization effort.
