National Geographic of Neo England: Neo Kingsport

Yuggoth Expedition

The Poincaré Engine with the capability of propelling spacecrafts to 1/1000 the speed of light was the Second Age of Exploration’s greatest technological innovation. The core component used in the fuelless drive, Tok’l Metal, was sourced from the meteorite that impacted Earth’s Moon in 2051.

Ever since the Lunar War over the Moon’s Tok’l Metal mining rights and the 3rd Hague Peace Conference, mankind has ceaselessly searched for the meteorite’s origin. The Carl Sagan Space Telescope, successor of the James Webb, located the meteorite’s point of origin in 2073 – a Kuiper Belt object dubbed Planet X that previously existed only in theory, now officially named Yuggoth.

The next century witnessed the glorious conquest of space, the nations united under one banner and employed the island-hopping strategy by the sequential colonization of the Moon, Mars, Io, then Titan. Yuggoth was finally in reach right before the Tok’l Metal mine on the moon depleted.
