What is the premise of Earth 2?
In 2192, human beings have left Earth, for the most part, to live on giant orbiting space stations. Earth has been environmentally devastated, and the only people left are miners and other poor laborers. A rich station designer, Devon Adair, whose only son,Ulysses, has been stricken with a fatal illness called The Syndrome, puts together an expedition to found a colony on an earth-like planet, called G889, twenty-two light years from Earth. The expedition backfires when the Advance team crash-lands on the planet on the opposite side of the continent from their destination. They discover that the planet that they thought was uninhabited, is in fact home to a variety of species, as well as some cast-off Humans from the Stations. The colonists journey westward to their destination, New Pacifica, encountering problems along the way.
