Exiled to the Stars

2203 AD (281 AE) An overpopulated and desperate Earth has devised the â€œColony Programâ€. Criminals, agitators and other â€˜Undesirablesâ€™ supplemented by thousands of â€˜Nonproductivesâ€™, or â€˜Dronesâ€™ gathered in sweeps through slums and â€œsquatter areasâ€ worldwide, are crammed aboard a starship manned by a one-way crew, and sent to colonize the stars. This is the epic story of Colony Ship 7N-364, with its cargo of 3500 â€œDronesâ€, 1500 â€œUndiesâ€, and 130 crew. With nearly a third of the colonists made up of street toughs, gangsters, terrorists, political agitators, and other troublemakers, can the crew hope to maintain control? Will they find a home before the ship dissolves into chaos? And if they do find a suitable planet, what then? Can a population of mostly illiterate peasants, political and social misfits, and outright criminals even survive? What kind of world could such a wildly varied group possibly produce? A sweeping adventure spanning generations!
