General Exhibition for PC Worlds
“Starship Orchestra PART2 - To Home Afar -”
It's been several centuries since humanity ventured away into the galaxy---
The advancements in High-speed Multi-Dimensional navigation, AKA the "HMD Drive" technology led to communications with extraterrestrial civilizations, birthing many friendships and frictions along the way. And thanks to transport networks panning across galaxies and planet systems, humanity was at the height of its prosperity.
One reckless soul, reaching the uncharted territory VS-10 had encountered the "Ark," a vestige of old. Awaiting there was a set of coordinates, showing the location of an ancient home once lost in the space-time collapse, the "Lost Earth."
To the human race, the re-discovery of Earth is...... No, the re-discovery will be of great interest to MANY of the intelligent lifeforms throughout the galaxies.
Tracing its path as the "Ark" takes off...More reckless souls join the fray, racing across planets in the chase for the unfound truth --Earth.

Lost Civilization Argdella
"Argdella"No one knows who, or when it was named as such...
While we don't even know its name's origin, there're a couple we know about.That it's at a place where none dare to tread, surrounded by wilderness.That there was once a civilization there, harnessing the power of technology far beyond understanding.And finally, that there's hardly any that return who enter there.
The few survivors lucky enough to be found are left in a state one can only be described as mad, commenting: "The past and the future were the same" or "An infinite corridor was out to get me."
While as unbelievable as they sound, these tall tales were enough to attract the curious adventurers of the world.
Another was about to step foot today. Are you yet another adventurer reckless to test your luck? Or perhaps...
