In the 37th century, humanity's reach into space had expanded beyond our solar system, with explorations venturing into the vast unknowns of the universe. Among the most ambitious expeditions was the mission to the Bootes Void, a mysterious and sparsely populated region of space spanning 250 million light years.

This mission was spearheaded by the Artius Institute for Advanced Space Research, named after the renowned space explorer Artius. Artius was born on the spaceship Zurthus and dedicated his life to the pursuit of space exploration.

By the year 3719, Artius, at the age of 72, prepared for retirement aboard the Parasio, a ship designed for distinguished retirees of the space exploration community. His legacy included groundbreaking discoveries and the establishment of the Artius Institute, which became a beacon of innovation and excellence in space research.

Artius's passion for exploration was inherited by his children, particularly his sons Perseus and Orion. These two brothers were inspired by their father's achievements and were determined to follow in his footsteps, making their own mark on the field of space exploration.

Perseus and Orion were both brilliant scientists and engineers. They contributed significantly to the advancement of space travel technologies, developing innovative concepts that pushed the boundaries of human capability.

Among their notable achievements were advancements in propulsion systems and quantum communication technologies, which played crucial roles in their expedition to the Bootes Void. .
