“As for me, I am tormented with an everlasting itch for things remote. I love to sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts.”



History

The successful terraforming of Mars in 2157 provided a much-needed outlet for population growth, ending the Overpopulation Era and opening Humanity’s path to the stars—-

“By reason of these things, then, the whaling voyage was welcome; the great flood-gates of the wonder-world swung open, and in the wild conceits that swayed me to my purpose, two and two there floated into my inmost soul, endless processions of the whale, and, midmost of them all, one grand hooded phantom”, the space whale. — Ishmael

Manifesto

“Swerve me? The path to my fixed purpose is laid with iron rails, whereon my soul is grooved to run. Over unsounded gorges, through the rifled hearts of mountains, under torrents’ beds, unerringly I rush! Naught’s an obstacle, naught’s an angle to the iron way!” — Captain Ahab

Charter

“Talk not to me of blasphemy, man; I’d strike the sun if it insulted me.” — Captain Ahab
