An AI ship full of frozen colonists must find the best planet to be the new home of the human race. A randomly-generated text-based strategy game. Push your luck: do you settle here, on this not-quite-ideal planet, or keep searching and risk your ship being damaged in the journey? The planets you encounter are randomly generated, and as you travel you encounter random events, so each playthrough is different. See the stories of the colonies you found, and keep trying for a higher score.
