Starship Depths of Dream Project Here is the last ship in the Exploration Corps series. It is by far the largest one as well. Exploration Corps Universe The Exploration Corps universe consists of five fictional eras that range from the late 21st century to the early 26th century. In this fictional environment, our galaxy has only a few sentient species with star-faring technology. The first era begins in the late 21st century with the formation of the international Interplanetary Exploration Corps. During the 22nd century, a federation of democratic continental governments emerge bringing world peace and prosperity. By the end of this century, faster-than-light vessels appear and the Interplanetary Exploration Corps becomes the Interstellar Exploration Corps. Over the next 150 years, the Human presence in local interstellar space expands. In the mid-24th century, major improvements in faster-than-light drive result in Human space exploration efforts ranging much deeper into the galaxy. The Interstellar Exploration Corps grows in size and capability to become the Galactic Exploration Corps. By the 26th century, Human and alien star-faring technology are combining to create even more capable ships. The Exploration Corps universe is inspired by the science fiction Arthur C. Clarke, Jack McDevitt, and James White. I consider it my most sober portrayal of Humanity equipped with maturing faster-than-light technology combined with equally maturing societal development.
