Gorath

The narrative begins with a September 1979 rocket launch and unfolds into the early 1980s as Gorath’s approach becomes imminent. In 1980, scientists warn that Gorath could collide with Earth within two years, triggering a global mobilization. The period centers on rapid technological development and large-scale international cooperation to avert disaster.

The story unfolds across Earth, a remote South Pole base in Antarctica, and the surrounding space as humans push the boundaries of planetary defense. Key locations include the Antarctic South Pole Operation, a vast underground base built for mega-thruster construction, and space stations and spacecraft studying Gorath. The harsh polar environment and high-tech facilities create a backdrop of extreme conditions where scientific teamwork and ingenuity are tested.

🚀 Space Engineering

The plan to move Earth relies on enormous mega-thrusters and a network of polar caverns, highlighting the scale and risk of planetary engineering. The narrative emphasizes precision, experimentation, and the sleepless dedication of engineers who work across borders. The success or failure hinges on technical mastery under extreme time pressure.

🌍 Global Unity

A global threat prompts scientists, politicians, and space agencies to pool resources and share knowledge. The international collaboration at the South Pole Operation showcases diplomacy under pressure, but also exposes political rivalries and competing priorities. The story tests whether collective action can overcome national interests.

🧊 Crisis and Sacrifice

Gorath’s approach triggers catastrophic natural disasters on Earth, demanding hard choices from the scientists and crew. The emergence of Maguma as a heat-driven threat adds unpredictability and forces difficult ethical decisions. The plan ultimately requires sacrifice and courage to save the world, even at great cost.
