الوصف
On the distant planet of Gehenna, a staggering forty thousand human colonists find themselves stranded after an unexpected political fallout leaves them to fend for themselves. As they grapple with their new reality, the settlers must navigate the challenges of survival in an unforgiving environment teeming with alien life. Resourcefulness and resilience become their only allies in a land where the rules of existence are dictated by forces beyond their control.
Tensions rise as the colonists confront not just the harshness of their surroundings, but also the complexities of their own social structure. Old hierarchies crumble in the wake of disaster, leading to a struggle for power and control among disparate factions. Friendships are tested and loyalties redefined as each group seeks to establish its place in this new world, revealing the darker sides of humanity as they confront both external threats and internal conflicts.
In the midst of chaos, individuals emerge as leaders and visionaries, determined to forge a future in this uncharted territory. But as they strive for unity and survival, they are constantly reminded of the fragility of hope and the weight of their abandonment. The ultimate question lingers: can they build a new society from the ashes of their past, or will their forgotten dreams tumble into oblivion on Gehenna?
