ESCAPE

In 2017, NASA confirmed seven planets orbiting the red dwarf star Trappist-1 - three of them in the "Goldilocks Zone," potentially habitable for human life.

Eighty-three years later, NASA and the European Space Agency launched the CV Benevolence, Earth's first mission to Trappist-1E. It was a meticulously planned effort, led by the best minds of the time and a crew second to none.

But this is not their story.

These are the chronicles of the ESF Escape - the second ship, launched quietly after the Benevolence, carrying not trained settlers, but Earth's privileged elite. Among them were Michael Sterling, the most vilified tech billionaire of his era; Mazier Enfield, a social media celebrity known more for his followers than his achievements; and Bishop Robert Ralston, a revered spiritual leader celebrated for his moral conviction and quiet strength.

Now, landing on Trappist-1E over 2,100 years before the original colony ship is set to arrive, under-equipped and unprepared, its crew and privileged passengers must forge a society from nothing. With no blueprint, no backup, and no actual settlers among them, survival depends on instinct, ethics, and sheer will.

As power struggles emerge and a catastrophic event upends their fragile order, one question looms:

What kind of world should they build - and who gets to decide?
