Following a month-long search, Mayflower Industries has found the two ideal leaders for its pioneering mission to Ithaca. Captain Thomas H. Reed and Captain Charlotte Jones, world-renowned astronauts, will be taking their place in history next month as they begin our journey to a new home.

An artist's impression of the Helios
In anticipation of establishing our first colony on Ithaca, our engineers have begun design work on a new ship capable of carrying thousands of colonists across the vast distance to our new home: the Helios. We're proud to present to you today an artist's rendering of this magnificent vessel.
About Mayflower
Mayflower is at the forefront of off-Earth exploration technology. From vehicular design to personnel recruitment, Mayflower Industries are pioneering a complete solution for extra-solar travel and exploration. If it's out there, we'll find it - together.
About the Mission
Since the first signs of Earth's deterioration became clear, scientists and governments the world over have been asking themselves one question: "How do we stop it?". We at Mayflower Industries have been asking a different one: "Where to next?"
We've found the answer. An extra-solar planet capable of supporting human life. Orbiting the distant star Gliese 581, this planet, dubbed "Ithaca" has a breathable atmosphere, vast unspoilt seas, even balmy temperatures! In the coming year, we aim to dispatch the first manned mission to Ithaca, establishing a colony there which will soon become a new home - for all of us!
