    • Humanity had extended itself across the galaxy to over a thousand planets. It had discovered peace, and consequently had little need for a military force. It had never encountered an alien species of any sort. It felt safe.Then everything changed. Eighteen planets were attacked by an aggressive alien fleet that appeared to devour every living thing. AI Central’s calculations confirmed that this was an extinction event, and recommended that Humanity should flee. However, this was not possible for the trillion odd inhabitants.Admiral Bonner had a plan. However, she was constantly surprised by the events that confronted her. How could you win against such ridiculous odds? Battles were fought, and eventually, some level of success was achieved, but they had yet to meet The Brakendeth. Who or what were they?

      The journey in 1787 involved a convoy of eleven ships transporting around 1400 people to Botany Bay, often depicted as chaotic and poorly managed. Critics like Robert Hughes highlighted the organizers' disorganization and lack of preparation, while Manning Clark described the experience as one of extreme hardship and disorder. This account challenges the conventional narrative of the expedition, shedding light on the struggles faced by those involved.
