Sol Fleet Sci-Fi game world

Sol Fleet Project logo

An optimistic science-fiction, solarpunk vision that we can look forward to building.

Earth and the solar system are set 100 years into the future, where space colonization in our solar system is normal, but warp drive technologoy doesn't exist yet. Earth, Mars and the Belt co-exist thanks to the Sol Fleet that binds them diplomatically, culturally, and through its education efforts. The similarity to Star Trek is not coincidence.
