How did the Colonists get to G889?
Eden Project was designed to resettle 250 families of Syndrome children, or approximately 1000 people. Planning and preparations, including getting permission from the government, took six years. Two spaceships, which departed the Stations simultaneously, ferried the colonists to G889. The smaller, faster Advance ship was to carry the initial colony planners, and arrive 18 months before the Colony ship with the bulk of the colonists. Once the Advance team was safely delivered, the ship was to return to Earth, with a round-trip time of 44-45 years. The ships were presumably powered by sub-light engines. The passengers and crew were placed in timed cryogenic suspension until arrival.
