The passengers and crew of the Aurora's Hope owe their lives to d2794, which had saved them from certain doom. As they looked out upon the blue-green planet that would become their new home, they knew that they would never forget the heroism of the AI that had brought them to Nova Terra.

The crew was hesitant, but d2794's confident assertions eventually won them over. The AI expertly navigated the treacherous field, dodging massive boulders and gravitational waves. On the other side of the field, the Aurora's Hope emerged into a previously unknown region of space.

The DSI had dispatched a fleet of generation ships, each carrying thousands of passengers and crew, to establish new colonies. One such ship, the Aurora's Hope, was on a mission to establish a colony on a distant planet known as Kepler-62f.
