Fics like Ad Astra Per Aspera

Arin had always known that Earth wasn’t the only planet with sentient species. Nobody ever believed him, of course, but he knew it – without a shadow of a doubt. His parents, eager to foster a home where his curiosity could thrive, got him hundreds of books on the universe, deep space, and planets. When he got a little older, they started showing him all those old space movies – Star Trek, Star Wars, and even the Alien movies. As he grew up, Arin’s faith that humans weren’t the only ones in the Universe continued to grow with him. At the ripe age of 20, Arin knew that he was right. But the aliens of intergalactic space were not kind. His parents learned that the hard way. When Arin was sixteen, his parents were selected as part of the first ever rocket mission into intergalactic space – the Talaria Mission. They, along with six other participants, were equipped with food to last them hundreds of years, space suits, and a two way radio to talk back with Control. Exactly a month after the launch, Talaria went radio silent. The ship and the people on board were never found. Four years later, Arin graduated from the Space Force Academy. He was going to find his parents, no matter the cost.
