Story points that I would like to hit

- Nova ends up in M31
- 12 Leaders are faced with a hard situation of how to continue
    -> McKay decides to keep the majority of the crew in status until they reach a planet
    -> This takes about 6 months to get to a promising cluster of planets 
    -> Meanwhile the ousted military leaders aren't happy, with the lack of vision
    -> One or a few of them stage a Coup d'état
    -> A new unwelcomed leader is placed at the head
- bumpy but successful seeds are planted 
    -> A colony is established and faces hard times, classes emerge 
    -> scientific endeavor and mining are the lower classes
    -> Several small escape plans are made, lead by Samantha Ki, and scatter all at once through out the system
    -> The New Union double downs on the remaining lower class, while seeds of new edge clusters spring up in remote parts of the local system
- Cultures split into ways of living which were previously blocked 
- These cultures have tension , war, trade, history

What the fuck to do now

Situation
    - 102,510 crew, roughly 50/50 male female
    - The mean age of the crew 35.
    - The union has been around for thousands of years with the philosophy of keeping the human condition untouched past debilitating disease 
    - Nova estimates that if natural copulation was to be allow the crew would be down to zero within five generations
    - with assigned breeding, selected for variance and health, 7-8 generations 
    - A natural path for the Novas continuation is doomed

Options 
    - Brake from the Unions conventions
        # Bio options 
            - Cloning
            - Life extension
            - Genetic alterations , simple to the extreme
            - birthing tanks
        # Tech options
            - Mind uploading + freezing tissues
            - Synthetic enhancements 
            - AIG unblocked
    - Keep to the unions conventions
        # 40 to 60 years to build  
        - Try and build another DeepGate to get back
        - Establish a second union here

The following

- A religious take up reveals itself in the ships less scientific sections (Military, Support Staff, Mining)
- Old tests of prowess are taken back up, fighters scar themselves before a fight to level the playing field, the victor is seen as an indication of the divine will 
- A new leader is brought to the forefront
- the cult is violent and the leader is replaceable

Visions

- Samantha Ki is plagued with visions

Military might is right

- We have multiple leaders in this space, they are power hungry and will want to play the politics game for control
- Janeway will want to keep on top of this,  TODO introduce a second to Janeway
