Space exploration in the spirit, not genre, of Jules Verne.
Description:
Scientists discovered an astronomical phenomenon near the star Caesar Draconis. Theories abound in academic circles with no agreement of what it is. It perplexes scientists as it is only the vague absence of everything (light, matter, density, volume, etc.) that shows that something (or nothing) exists near Caesar Draconis. Dr. Bartholomew DuCant has his theories. A prominent scholar in Progenitor Studies, DuCant is a respected but controversial figure in academic circles. His lobbying, no demanding, to the ISC to send an expedition to investigate have been ignored so far. DuCant went around them and petitioned the Empress herself. His drive and audacity were rewarded with an imperial decree commissioning an expeditionary team. As a reward, Dr. Ducant was added to the team of explorers. Come join the expedition to explore and discover the mystery near Caesar Draconis.
