Gath was fascinated by the display from the device, but eventually turned away from it to ask, "Does the database give any reference to how old their civilization was? It is possible that this might not be the first time they've left a planetary system in pursuit of this mission goal. Given the level of resources and technology required to create a generational ship, they may have been forced to lend on a suitable planet capable of building and launching another ship to continue an ongoing mission that may have been originally launch from some other location. This could be the latest leg of such a journey. Their planet died out 100,000 yours ago, but their original home may have been even longer back in their history. They may have been limping their way across the galaxy for millions of years. Their efforts and design are both advanced yet limited. They may have simply lacked better technology to get them there faster. If this is true, there should be at least some mention as a brief story or history lesson that would be passed down to the next generation, should they be required to resort to landing on a planet to rebuild their craft and launch again. It might be based in a religious or historical tale to inspire future generations. It could be noteworthy, should you come across such data."
