The year is 2099. The Adhara Colony is one of the longest-standing exoplanetary settlements created by the Worldwide Confederation for Progress in Extraplanetary and Aeronautical Exploration (a.k.a “The Confed”). Sasha, a young, inquisitive, and bored Confed Junior Officer’s life is turned upside down when a ship crashes down near Adhara. At first, she is dismayed by her assignment to listen to the audio logs recovered on the ship while the others try to make their way deeper into the wreckage. Though this assignment soon leads Sasha on the adventure of a lifetime as she discovers through the tapes that the wrecked ship is the Nautilus, a famed spaceship that went missing along with its crew nearly half a century before. The series follows Sasha and her friends as they learn from first-hand accounts what happened to Commander Zelda and the rest of the crew of the Nautilus during their seven-year voyage across the stars and try to uncover through these recordings just why they went missing.
