Of the ships that were sent out, many returned. But always the answer was the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere were no planets! The worlds of Sol were alone in the Great Dark that swirled across the boundless heavens. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was not until Steve Rane and Nick Brodine, in the Exploratory Ship \u003ci\u003eVega\u003c\/i\u003e, reached across the yawning gulf of light years to Sirius, that they found the strange planet that rotated in its complicated orbit around the twin sun. It was an event transcending all others. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA discovery that plunged the planets of Sol into the greatest race of all time.
