  • Wayfarer Alpha (Wayfarer-1) is an ancient space probe created by humans in the early phase of space exploration several decades before the first contact with the Triumvirate Civilization and launch Sarta Republa-X car. The probe is a relatively small structure with many sensors, communication means, an onboard scientific computer and a small reactor - RTG, which generated energy to operate the spacecraft without the need for solar panels. There is also a plaque on the case with information about people and their planet, which could be used by potential aliens. It is known that the probe had a small engine for correction and acceleration, but mainly used gravity assist to reach more distant locations of the Helyar-Byutix system. This required precise calculations, which were performed by the best minds from all over Aegyn, since computer technology was not as advanced as it is today. Probably, there were more launches of the same probes later.

    According to historians, the probe was launched in a joint mission between the nation states of Aegyn after a Long World War, as a symbol of the future peace and prosperity of all Mankind. The recordings contain greetings in different languages, photographs of cities, nature and various music. In addition, the probe mainly had scientific purposes, such as obtaining information and photographs of outer planets of the Helyar system and their moons, and then it reached the Byutix system, flying past several planets of its system. These photographs and data gave incredible ambition for humans. Presumably, it went beyond the Helyar-Byutix system 60-70 years after launching from Aegyn. After the Triumvirate fell and the Yohjan Confederacy was founded in 15th Millenium BC, the probe was found by humans on the outskirts of the nearby Espis Terenica System and returned back to Helyar. The fate of the ancient interstellar probe became unknown after the War of the Final Transition. However, in 99.956, Jarod Kenchis, one of the richest people of the Empire of Mankind in the Lewis Galaxy, stated in an interview that he owns an ancient human made spacecraft from the Via Sagittaria Galaxy, which is different from anything he has seen.
