A colossal spaceship equipped with huge science fiction-inspired antimatter engines is drifting through the vast, dark expanse of space.

Plot

Once upon a time, two fearless engineers crash-landed on a desolate, forsaken planet. With nothing but their wits and a few rusty tools, they began the monumental task of industrializing their new home.

Days turned into nights and nights into spreadsheets as they meticulously crafted a sprawling factory, fighting off alien biters who seemed oddly invested in real estate. Their crowning achievement? Launching their very first satellite into the cold, unfeeling void of space!

But why stop at one satellite? The duo soon launched their first cargo rocket, filled to the brim with supplies for orbit. In no time, they were setting up bases on other planets, mining exotic resources that they’d only dreamed of.

The real twist came when they stumbled upon an ancient, derelict spaceship. Eager and a tad overconfident, they spent hundreds of hours turning this antique into a state-of-the-art vessel. Countless iterations, explosions, and high-fives later, they finally had a ship to be proud of.

As they prepared for the ultimate journey, a burning question remained: Could they really escape this stellar cluster and claim victory among the stars?
