Category:Exodus Project

Following the success of the Taurus Project and the Sirius Project, along with the mixed results of the Pandora Project, United Earth decided to continue the colonization programs with an even larger-scale colony ship, the Macross Island-class vessels.

The First Exodus Fleet was launched on 11 May 2103 and destined for the 36 Ophiuchi-system, carrying over 10-million colonists abroad her. This marked the single largest movement of Humans in modern history and by far was the greatest feat of Human engineering ever attempted.

This continued for over three decades until the launch of the final Twenty-Sixth Exodus Fleet arrival in the Zeta Herculis-system in July 2133.

In total, the Exodus Project moved at least 260-million colonists off over-crowded and polluted Earth and settled them on 26 different worlds.
