Description The United Nations of Saturn were made up of the Saturn moons Titan, Enceladus, Rhea and Iapetus, as well as nearby O'Neill Cylinders around the plants and moons orbit, or in between them, that had a total human population of about 26,7 million in the so called Saturn Alliance. First Saturnian Aauna Naidu knew that the world furthest outside in the Solar System that was heavily settled upon it's moons and not just O'Neil Cylinders and outposts for mining, refinery and trade, most of it automatized by then. The Saturn moons at first were colonies of miners and outer system extreme colonists, but soon grew larger and became their own Nation States. Just like on Jupiter and all other worlds outside of this most of these colonies were so small and so much dominated by by one single power that they often formed single moon nations in of their own, instead of the various multi-nation worlds and moons of the Inner Systems. Because of this politics in the Outer System in the internal United Nations there were often much simpler and less complicated, but then again so were most on Earth after super multi-national states had formed and made local single national, religious and ideological state systems obsolete for the most part. The Saturnians themselves were not very supportive of the new Deep Space Exploration mission and ship themselves, as it would mean that in the future most ships had another possibility then to refuel and restock as the Saturn Alliance as the last major power self-sufficient and large enough producing coalition and faction out there that could supply major colonial expeditions and fleets at the Edge of the Solar System on their own. The Saturnians feared that with this new technology their major income from such endeavors would become obsolete, leading to economic decline and problems. Because of that the Saturn Navy and Saturn Army had to support the local Saturn Security and Police to closely watch and stop Saturn terrorists and saboteurs to provide purposely defective parts to be build into the Deep Space Exploration Vessel so it may malfunction or be destroyed during it's test flight and maiden voyage in a attempt to secure Saturn's position for the near future.


Because of this uncovered plot and opposition by some Saturnans, First Saturnian Aauna Naidu would have to prove that they had stopped all of this various groups and individuals operating from Saturn and that clearly they had no hand in the failure of the ship and it's mission. The First Satrunian knew that because of this incidents some eyes were looking suspicious at the Saturn Alliance, just like some terrorists centuries ago had tried to stop the first Moon and Mars permanent settlements and colonies for religious, political or otherwise ideological reasons that lead them to oppose mankind's exploration and spread among the stars. Some even did so because they believed in mankind, but also believed that there were dangers out there, alien or otherwise that would annihilate humanity, or at least get attracted or brought to the Solar System and pose a threat because of that. Others believed that was the exact reason mankind should spread to as many systems as possible, since having all eggs in one basked, or all humans in one solar system was potentially very dangerous for the survival of their whole species as well. Split about this dilemma, mankind still went forward and at least attempted new colonies and systems with countless worlds to settle and to do so they needed more modern drives to get rid of generation ships and their previous slow expansion and colonial spread if they ever wished to truly step out into the whole Milky Way Galaxy, weather it was inhabited by other alien life, or they were the very first and most advanced race as some believed because they had not yet found any sign of alien intelligent life. Whatever the chase to solve the mystery, the question of why and how the Deep Space Exploration Vessel had not reached it's destination, if it or it's crew could still be saved and their mission fulfilled, or if mankind would need a new ship and crew for a second attempt to finally archive this goal.
