In the distant future, in the year 2600, Colony 6, a spaceship with a pre-established destination and with the objective to search for new forms of life, is forced to crash-land on an unknown planet, which causes the premature awakening of its crew.
Sixteen years back, on December 31 2584, Colony 6 launched into space. To survive and save the human race from an impending ecological disaster, the global nations of Earth entered into a space colonization project centuries earlier, called the EU: Everlasting Union. The EU decided to begin a new era of colonization, trying to improve the knowledge of Solar System and colonize planets. Since then, thanks to an advances in science, machines were able to create an atmosphere suited to human life even in the most hostile environments.
The interstellar journey of Colony 6, which had been programmed to last 30 years, is interrupted after only 16 years due to an unknown failure, which disrupted the crew's physical and cognitive development. Instead of fully grown men and women, we find a pod teenagers who have to deal with a situation for which they aren’t fully prepared for. Each one of them have been programmed for a particular job, enabling them with the abilities and knowledge to help them complete particular tasks. They are strong and energized, but they do not understand the world that surrounds them. they don't know their origins and they aren't even sure they wish to do what they were programmed to do. The story of Kylion and its crew is a metaphor of life: the ambitions and dreams of the group of diverse individuals clash with a world that is different from how they had envisioned it. They will succeed in their mission only if they manage to control their fears and impulses, learning to depend on each other. . .
This is their adventure. This is their reality.
