Founding Era · Episode 1

Eden Space Habitat, 2712-2714 UCSD. A chief scientist's buried analysis sends one small crew through a fold corridor and returns them safely — then, two years later, sends a larger one past it, into ground nothing has ever measured. The gap between a correct finding and a confirmed one is the first thread of what will eventually force the Star Rangers into existence.

• S00E01C01 Supplementary MaterialEden Space Habitat — Chief Scientist's Office and Docking RingEleven years of anomaly logs and a footnoted analysis have gone nowhere through the Military Space Command's committee. Dr. Ysolde Maren Pitch hands her navigation model to a crew that isn't waiting for the committee to finish reading it.
• S00E01C02 Beyond MSC LiabilityEden Space Habitat — Chief Scientist's Office and Docking RingTwo years after Constant Margin proved the corridor, a six-person crew prepares to go past it — into the terminus itself, not just the transit. Dr. Pitch tries to say out loud what her model does and doesn't actually confirm, to a crew already certain of the answer.
