[@hiddenleafguy] It's not a big deal I'll fix it right Away. but Since you got me on the apocalypse, here we go: Earth was left many years ago due to several bad things all happening at once. The air quality had worsened due to massive amounts of pollution, so bad that you needed a gas mask to even head outside. Naturally the climate went out of whack due to that.  But before that all happened, there was Mutant outbreak that was caused when the human test subjects (that where tested to see if they could survive without the protection  necessary for humans, and basically where intended to be superhuman, but as the saying goes:the road to hell is paved in good intentions)   on got an addiction to the chemicals, Consumed copious amounts of the stuff and basically are now the last things on earth  That could live in such harsh conditions, and the rest is history, however since it has been at least a few thousand years and humans gained a foothold From Planet hopping and living on a massive self-sufficient  mothership that holds at least about a billion people, with smaller ships to explore more planets. and now that brings us full circle . you are now ready to embark on your first exploration mission.
