Mission

Everyone is familiar with stories of mysterious lights in the sky, thought by many to be visitors from beyond Earth. It turns out they’re right.

Reports of extra-terrestrial visits to Earth have been documented as far back as 1088, when Chinese official Shen Kuo recorded eyewitness accounts of a "a flying object with opening doors [that] would shine a blinding light from its interior".

The ISDC is committed to deep space exploration and peaceful co-existence with any extra-terrestrial civilisations encountered, but also recognises the need for defence. It is not known how many civilisations may be encountered that are capable of space travel and hostilities may be unavoidable, particularly given potential difficulties with communication and translation.

The ISDC is aware that we share the galaxy with one or more advanced alien civilisations, although contact to date has been limited to tactical engagements with often unfortunate outcomes. Much of the advanced technology that will be used to reach deep space has been recovered from encounters like these.

A key aspect of the ISDC’s mission is deep space exploration. The ability to explore stellar systems and phenomenon at close range is expected to provide unparalleled insights into our universe in a way that long-range telescopy cannot.

M-Squared Media Pty Ltd (the ISDC) provides these online services (ISDC Network Services) on the following terms. 

The ISDC is a multi-national organisation established by secret international treaty, dedicated to establishing and maintaining a human presence in deep space. The motivation for this initiative and source of the technology that makes it possible derives from recent contact with extra-terrestrial visitors.
