Astra

About The Game

The story takes place in space, 4062 light-years away from planet Earth, inside of the exploratory spaceship Astra, currently in an emergency state after a head-on collision with space debris during resting hours.

Story

Humanity finds itself on a crucial quest to seek new habitable planets to replace the now dry and natural resource depleted, blazing Earth. After reaching a severe water shortage and emptying the oceans for fish in the year 2064, the disappearance of the world’s rainforests and the chemical pollution reaching life threatening conditions in the year 2073, all nations of the planet Earth have come together to declare a global state of emergency. Within 9 years after the initial declaration of a global state of emergency, the newly formed UNE (United Nation of Earth) started a space program under the name ISA (International Space Academy), to train and prepare people for upcoming spaceflight seeking new habitable planets. Backed by the Worlds leading Aerospace Company ‘DELTA/ONE’, the first manned crew was sent into the outer reaches of space with a capable spacecraft on January 12th 2082, taking the lead for the next 4 generations of exploratory spaceflight. Now in the year 2163, one of those manned exploratory spacecrafts named ‘Astra’, finds itself 4062 light-years away from planet Earth, in the unknown depths of space. On board of the Astra you find 6 capable individuals. The Captain, the Space Pilot, the Scientist, the Engineer, the Doctor and the Botanist. With each of them fulfilling their roles, creating a strong crew. One night, while the crew is sound asleep and the Astra is running on autopilot, they encounter a head-on collision with space debris, shaking and damaging the spacecraft and putting the Astra partially offline, triggering a state of emergency. The Captain of the Astra takes charge and aids his crewmates to get the Astra back online and running.

Onboard the Astra are the accessible areas and rooms consisting of the Bridge, the Captain’s Quarters, the Crew’s Quarters, the Main Deck, the Cargo Bay, the Engine/Power Generator Room, the Engineering Bay, the Medical Facility and various Hallways connection everything together. Not all areas are accessible from the get-go. Some doors and areas are closed off by the Computing-System due to the emergency state and need to be opened by overriding/hacking doors through Terminals.
