In this universe, humankind has fled the Earth's surface, made unhabitable by some cataclysm, to a life of hardship under the seas. Human declining fertility, war and political intrigues between great powers and piracy are only examples of the difficulties humanity has to face every day. But there may be hope, as strange phenomenons, known as the Polaris effect, could be the key to humans' salvation, or final demise.
