Habitable Systems Survey
The Habitable Systems Survey is a scientific program initiated in the 1st century R.C. with the aim of identifying feasible candidates for future extrasolar exploration and colonization. Conducted jointly by the Esmarian Alliance Space Agency, the Tenzanese Aerospace Office, and the Thulean Federal Spaceflight Agency, various uncrewed space probes fielding torch drives were assembled in Plateian orbit from 0053 to 0075 R.C., bound for the systems of Almagest, Algomeiza, Oboth, Sopdet and Tho Etcheh. Through the usage of these torch drives, the probes were capable of reaching c-fractional speeds, meaning it would take decades for the probes to reach their destinations, and years thereafter for the information to be relayed back to Plateia.
The first probe, wiki:argo 1|Argo 1, was launched on September 9, 0058, leaving the boundaries of the Solar System within the year. It would reach Almagest 34 years later in 0092, with data reaching Plateia in 0097.
