The M.R.S. Relativity

The M.R.S. Relativity is an advanced, experimental space cruiser that can travel at near-light speeds. Unfortunately, the ship’s crew is hard at work, with no break. Even though they are not officially on-duty, they still have to work. The ship is frequently invaded by small parasites called “space lice” or “space gophers.” The lice have to be killed so they don’t slow down the ship’s speed.

The ship also has a hull that is designed to block radar. This gives it an advantage over enemy ships that use radar. The ship was created by one of the most advanced races in the galaxy. The race had to re-evaluate its technology, however, after the crew of the M.R.S. Relativity destroyed its entire planet by mistake (by using the planet’s own weapon against it), killing every single one of its inhabitants.

They had to build themselves a new planet, which they planned to do on the very planet the M.R.S. Relativity was heading toward (they had to build it there because it is the closest planet to their star). The new planet was built about five years before this story began, and was just about ready to be occupied by the original race.

So, the crew of the M.R.S. Relativity is trying to rush to the planet before the new race gets there. They are also trying to avoid being detected by the new race so they can stay alive.
