SYNOPSISMothership is a science-fiction novel and art project that delves into the experiences of a group of anthropomorphic engineers inhabiting a giant space station. As the team ventures deeper into an unfamiliar universe, they are forced to grapple with profound psychological distortions and volatile laws of nature.Perhaps, they will uncover that the Mind is even more magnificent and boundless than ever imagined.

BACKGROUNDIn an alternate version of 1970, interstellar travel became an attainable dream. Further exploration of the solar system revealed a stable, naturally occurring irregularity in spacetime—a path connecting two parts of the universe together. This enigmatic corridor, subsequently named the Caesus Bridge, would fundamentally shift the goal of the Cold War. It amplified global nuclear tensions and conflict as countries fought for their right to research the corridor, plunging the world into a state of confusion and religious zealotism. From those ruins, the intense desire for survival and advancement led the Animal race to be galvanized into a spontaneous pursuit of innovation, a scientific renaissance.Simultaneously, a space race between the United States and the Soviet Union blossomed, driven by the objective to build something so big and habitable that it could explore the universe beyond the Caesus Bridge and, most importantly, sustain its crew indefinitely.Three concepts between the US and USSR would be solidified over the span of twenty years, but only two were ever assembled. The 1995 US station, Sunshine, which suffered a catastrophic explosion shortly after crossing the Caesus Bridge, and the successor Pioneer Project, code named Mothership, which victoriously completed an unmanned mission on the same path only a few years later.Mothership stood as America's crowning achievement, a triumph that not only propelled the nation ahead in the space race, but also played a significant role in diffusing the tensions of the Cold War. Many vehicles and technologies would come after it, allowing the Animal race to establish a network of space stations and highways both in our Solar System, and the space beyond the Caesus Bridge.The stations oxygenated themselves and provided for its crew through the process of large, photosynthesizing farms, recycled watering systems, and the ability to harness rotational gravity, which used inertia to stimulate the effects of Earth’s natural gravitational pull. This would make the interconnected stations habitable for hundreds of scientists, researchers, and commercial customers to live in for years. Stations vary by country, purpose, and size despite the technology remaining in its infancy. Regular missions in between and beyond the station highways would be the new purpose of Mothership; a research vessel seeking to sustain itself further through scientific inquiry, and perhaps find an imperfect ripple in the fabric of the universe.

MOTHERSHIP

Welcome to the landing page of Mothership, an independent project by kittydisk!The storyline of Mothership revolves around a team of anthropomorphic engineers who leave the familiarity of our solar system aboard a mobile space station to explore an unknown Universe--and the dangerous phenomena within it.
