RES Nostos

Due to the long period of time since Reminia had any sort of contact with Homeworld, the Reminians created a one-way escape ship to leave the planet and find out the truth of what happened to their home planet.

Goal

The goal of the crew and the ship was to make it back to Homeworld, and if possible, re-establish contact with the two planets so that they can report back on the status of it.

Crew

The crew of 18 Reminians was volunteered for but had to eventually be drawn by straws because of the huge amount of offers to go onto the ship. Many Reminians saw that getting on the ship was an ultimate success because even if they didn’t make it back to Homeworld, they would have at least died off of Reminia.
The positions of crewmates included:

• Captain
• Navigation Expert
• Mechanic
• Medic
• Diplomat

The crew is split up into a day shift and a night shift, so only 9 crew members are meant to be roaming around at one time. This is to make sure that the ship is manned at all times, as well as to deal with it being a small ship.

Ship Sections

• The Bridge: Located at the front of the ship, the bridge is where the Captain and Navigation crew make sure that the RES Nostos is keeping track on it’s journey to Homeworld.
• Med Bay: The Medbay is where Reminians go if they get sick or injured, since there is still the chance of accidents and the Reminians don’t actually know what the effects of being confined on the ship for a long period of time is going to do to them.
• Storage: There are a number of storage rooms on the RES Nostos that store various supplies like food, spare parts, medical equipment and medicine etc.
• Generator Room: The generator Room is where the RES Nostos gets all its power from to keep running. Mechanics work nearby to make sure there aren’t any major issues that might be produced.
• Sleeping Quarters: The sleeping quarters are where the Reminians sleep when not on duty. It is expected that you don’t stay in there unless you are getting ready for the day, or actually sleeping.

There is also a lower deck to the ship that has a rudimentary set of landing gear (that doesn’t actually work), and also the exit route to the ship.
