Generations ago, Convoy Seven and the AI known as I.C.C. left Earth on a mission that would take them far beyond our solar system. The Planet United Consortium, a global group formed to pursue cooperative Earth-wide interests in deep space, launched these nine ships into the unknown to explore a distant star called LQ Pyx.Eons later, the convoy has returned to LQ Pyx to begin work on the Web, the alien megastructure that covers the star.
