Sixth Exodus Fleet

The Sixth Exodus Fleet was part of United Earth's sixth extra-solar colonization program, following the Pandora, Taurus, Sirius Project and departed from Lunar-orbit bound for Kapteyn's Star in 2108 C.E. with over 10-million colonists, led by the primary Macross Island-class colony ship UES Ottawa, under Captain Felecia Quan.

The Fleet would arrive at their future home in 2113 C.E. and christened Kapteyn's Star I as Dawson. Dawson gained its name from the Dawson College, a Montreal-based university that planned the initial colonization program for the fleet.

The bulk of the colony’s original population was from Canada on Earth, causing a cultural skew towards Canadian trends and traditions that continues to this day.
