Far Zenith was a think tank that was responsible for the revival of the Odyssey colony ship project.
History
Far Zenith was described as a "futurist consortium" that claimed to comprise seventy-seven of the world's wealthiest persons. The organization was very secretive and their spokesperson, Osvald Dalgaard, was the only publicly acknowledged member, while also serving as their mouthpiece.[1]
Far Zenith's goal was to extend humanity's reach into outer space, and they purchased the abandoned Odyssey in 2061. When knowledge of the Faro Plague became public, Far Zenith accelerated the Odyssey's reconstruction time table. In 2065, Far Zenith's efforts ended in failure when the Odyssey exploded after it attempted to leave the Solar System.
