UES Wyalong

The UES Wyalong was a Taurus Ark-class colony ship, built and launched by United Earth from Europa in 2097 as part of the Taurus Program, a colony operation to the distant 34Tauri(2020)-system. It was launched with its sister ship, the UES Enrico Fermi.

However in 7 April 2110, a year before arriving at its destination, all contact with the Wyalong ceased. Attempts by the Enrico Fermi failed to gain a response. After eight-hours of no contact, the Wyalong suddenly dropped out of warp, re-positioned on a new trajectory towards unexplored space and jumped back to warp. Only assigned enough fuel to reach its destination, the Enrico Fermi could not pursue without endangering the 600,000 colonists it carried and the Wyalong has never been found.

Trivia
