Botaninia is a new discovered planet that could support the human expansion of life. In the year 2121, mankind and machine combine their forces to expand beyond the scope of planet Earth. Mines and cities are built throughout our known galaxy using advanced robotics with human innovation. Water is the fuel for both man and machine in the void of space. Explore our vast solar system while diving into the many massive moons in our galaxy. Machines build the foundations while man configures the civil engineering necessary for organic life to grow. Travel with Captain Willis Cobb aboard the largest self reliant space vessel called Gaea to another solar system within reach. The mission is simple. Survive the longest journey ever attempted for humans and colonize the waiting planet called Botaninia. The new planet was named by artificial intelligence due to majority of life discovered on it by robots. Similar to Earth, Botaninia is about the same size and atmosphere for life to thrive.
