The barren wasteland left by the nuclear war between the Coalition forces of Iran, China and Russia against those of USA, United Kingdom, Germany and Japan, de facto forming the Alliance, have forced several members of the latter to proclaim a state of emergency, an emergency due to the dangerous birth rate decrease, to the radioactivity, and to the lack of resources. The solution? The solution adopted by the last Alliance government was simple, a mass exodus towards a new place, towards a new life. The last resources available were thus allocated to a highly-secret project by the misterious name of 'Rebirth'.
The minds behind the ESA and the NASA notched down a large concept of sleeper ship the day after, concept that involved major corporations such as Caterpillar, for its heavy industrial machinery, Intel for its nanotechnology, and major software houses such as Microsoft, to code the planned navigational software that was to be used once out from the Oort Cloud. Companies such as Virgin Galactic, Boeing and Rolls Royce have secretely contributed to the project with materials and funds, most notably with special engine designs based on the use of accelerated protons. Bayer AG, a leading german pharmaceutical company, supplied the project with a special blood-coolant to avoid tissue damage over massive amounts of liquid-hydrogen. The contributions to the project were many, documentation however is scarse.
The JAXA, in the meanwhile, concentrated on finding a suitable target for the Rebirth project, several scientists from the fellow space agencies of NASA and ESA suggested on going towards Alfa Centauri, the brightest star in the southern constellation of Centaurus, or Proxima Centauri. However the last choice was immediately trashed due to the type of star in the system of Proxima Centauri, a small and faint dwarf star. The japanese scientists, knowing that a binary system such as Alfa Centuari would be hazardous for the consuetudinary life of every human being, pointed their HRLA complex over at Mount Fuji towards the Outer Arm of the Galaxy, towards a place codenamed 'Shibumi', or Austere Elegance in its english equivalent. The chosen star was similar to Sol's star, the Sun, with several terrestrial planets in its habitable zone. The only issue however, were several large gas clouds, surrounding it, that could have made navigation through it dangerous. The spectre emitted by the star and its planets were analyzed by over four hundred scientists, that discovered high amounts of carbonium, nytrogen, hydrogen and oxygen, thus classifying it as a suitable target for the Rebirth project.
