Arete Mission
Expedition
Oct. 3 2181 - Oct. 28 2205 CE
The Arete mission of 2181 - 2205 was a 24-year expedition to the moon Calypso in the Proxima Centauri system, and the first crewed interstellar voyage humanity undertook. Six humans aboard the UNSS Skyward Spirit dedicated two decades of their lives to the study of an alien world, and their courage and dedication paid off in unimaginable ways.
