Far Eden

Far Eden is a major planet and location in ReCore.

History
Far Eden was one of many planets outside of the solar system discovered in the first decades of the 21st century. While Far Eden was relatively close to Earth in cosmic terms, it was still many light years distant. So communications took a long time to reach it—communications such as this one from Dr. Thomas Adams to his daughter, Joule.

In the 2020s, Earth had been ravaged by a terrible disease called Dust Devil. A concerted global effort, led by an organization known as the Mandate, did its best to manage outbreak after outbreak of this deadly contagion. However, the Mandate wasn’t able to stop Dust Devil, and they knew that human life on Earth was doomed.

After receiving promising data from probes sent to Far Eden, the Mandate launched a series of missions to the planet. First, thousands of Corebots were sent to build atmospheric processing facilities capable of taming Far Eden’s storm-ridden atmosphere. Later, a group of colonists that included Joule—but not her father—made the journey away from Earth.
