The Human Exodus storyline

NOTE: The following is NOT official Star Wars canon, but a proposed storyline. In the context of fiction, the canon of a fictional universe comprises those novels, stories, films, etc. ...


The Human Exodus begins on Earth, in the 25th century. The three main characters - computer hacker Dale Hender, space pilot Antonia Corelli, and her lover Paxton Solo — are leaders of an underground movement resisting the computers who have taken control of Earth's society. Hender discovers that the computers intend to force-feed the people of Earth drugs to control their emotions. They also learn that the computers intend to strip away the identities and family ties of the Humans under their control by replacing their names with serial numbers (Hender is to become THX-0001.) Earth is the third planet from the Sun. ... The 25th century (Gregorian Calendar) comprises the years 2401-2500. ... The official THX logo. ...


Powerless to stop the computers, the underground decides to secretly convert a comet-mining ship called the Oort Raider to a colony ship, carrying five thousand Humans on a multi-generational journey to Alpha Centauri. After a narrow escape from the computers' forces on Earth, the Oort Raider escapes the solar system. Their long journey is interrupted when they fall through a "cosmic whirlpool" leading to another solar system in another galaxy. To their great surprise, the wormhole is not only a bridge to another galaxy, but to another time, billions of years in the past. Alpha Centauri (α Cen / α Centauri) is the brightest star system (a triple star system) in the southern constellation of Centaurus, and contains the fourth brightest star in the night sky, with an apparent visual magnitude of −0. ... 2D analogy to a wormhole. ...


The Humans discover a habitable planet, and land. On this new world, they encounter another ship which had arrived in order to investigate the wormhole. This ship turns out to be a Rodian-crewed slave transport, carrying a cargo of Biths. The Rodians intend to enslave the Humans as well. When the Humans discover this, they try to free the Biths, only to be interrupted by a group of Gamorrean slavers, followed by a group of Varlians. The militarily superior Varlians take control of the situation, taking all of the Humans and Bith as slaves to Forhilnor, and hiring the Rodians and Gamorreans to oversee the slaves. As the slaves are taken away, Paxton Solo and Dale Hender look back on what could have been their new home. To honor Antonia Corelli, who was killed by the Rodians, they agree that the planet should be named Corellia. They also vow that one day Humanity will return to Corellia, and build a free society there. ... Bith may refer to: Bith, a character from Goidelic Celtic mythology Bith, an alien race from Star Wars This is a disambiguation page — a navigational aid which lists other pages that might otherwise share the same title. ...
