The Cassiopeia is fully outfitted as a colony craft but will be flying with a vastly reduced crew.


Comprising of astronauts from around the globe, and accompanied by Corinth CEO Lamarcus Williams, the Cassiopeia’s crew have been purposefully selected and rigorously tested to ensure they are perfectly equipped to undertake this mission on behalf of humanity.

Corinth’s mission to Tau Ceti f is more than exploration – it’s a commitment to building a future beyond Earth. Learn more about the full crew of pioneers leading the way at:

Pilot Brianna Young is one of Corinth’s most promising talents. Driven, focused, and fiercely capable, she joins the mission to Tau Ceti f to honour her father’s legacy - and forge her own.

She’s one of a kind. Well... she used to be.

Brianna Young (played by Lashana Lynch) is one of Corinth’s rising stars, and pilot of the Cassiopeia. Daughter of esteemed astronaut Bill Young, she's wanted to follow in his footsteps since she was a child.

Young has confidence in her abilities, and the skills to back it up. Whether it’s graduating top of class at flight school, or playing in Corinth’s soccer team, Young always pushes herself.

When her father passed away a few years before the mission, she threw herself into training even more. Stafford took on the role of her mentor, becoming something of a father figure.

Young undertook this mission to prove she had what it takes – not just to her late father, but also to herself.

“I’ve always wanted to fly, the joy of it, the freedom of it. To just take your life in your hands and soar.”


This concludes our playable character spotlight, but there are many more characters whose survival will depend on your choices...

Aboard the Cassiopeia, every team member matters. Technical Engineer Josef Cernan is not only a systems expert - he’s the connective tissue that keeps the mission running smoothly, both technically and emotionally.

How well the mission goes is up to you.

Josef Cernan is a Technical Engineer with a perceptive understanding of how things work – not just hardware, but people too.

In his youth he moved from Turkey to Holland to study Technical Engineering, proving himself to be a brilliant problem-solver. At the same time, he discovered and began to practice Buddhism, which shaped his outlook on life and how to make the most of it.

After making a promise to his late partner to do everything in his power to live a life he could be proud of, Cernan decided to sign up for the Cetus Mission.

Kind-hearted and open-minded, Cernan is often seen as the ‘glue’ that bonds the crew together (as well as their resident philosopher). He believes every problem, no matter how hard it may seem, has a solution.

“The problems humanity are facing today are no different – If it’s a life of death situation. I vote life.”
