# Welcome aboard!
Very few [**Nofts**](https://noftgames.gitbook.io/hi/nofts-universe-lore/nofts) survived... Now, havoc and chaos dominate their world. All the states and economies were lost in the doom. Almost every planet was destroyed, and the lands are no longer inhabitable. **Nofts** lost 95% of their population back then.
When the threat of complete extinction came real, these creatures managed to form [the Last Guild](https://noftgames.gitbook.io/hi/nofts-universe-lore/the-last-guild) and saved the remnants of **Nofts**.
Those who survived boarded the [**starships**](https://noftgames.gitbook.io/hi/nofts-universe-lore/machinery#starship) and were safely put in hibernation. The Nofts hoped to hide out and wait for disaster to pass.
The [spacecrafts](https://noftgames.gitbook.io/hi/nofts-universe-lore/machinery#starship) were programmed to wander in outer space and wake up the Nofts at a set time and date. Yet something went wrong, and they kept and kept sleeping, floating in space. Nobody knows how and why, but [The First Noft](https://noftgames.gitbook.io/hi/nofts-universe-lore/nofts#the-first) was the only one who revived. He somehow connected to [Infosphere](https://noftgames.gitbook.io/hi/nofts-universe-lore/infosphere) and managed to awaken the others. But not all of them…
**The First** desperately discovered that he did not have enough energy to reach all the starships and rescue them all. But there’s still hope — saved Nofts can help him.
Many years have gone by, and not much has changed. The Nofts were quick to realize that they have no chance to survive here — they will die out until there is none.
The only chance to save Civilization is to leave this dying galaxy and find a new home. There is a way out: **Nofts** must build the [Portal](https://noftgames.gitbook.io/hi/nofts-universe-lore/the-gates). Yet, it is a trouble point — it needs a lot of [Astron](https://noftgames.gitbook.io/hi/nofts-universe-lore/astron) and it's very difficult to get. Nofts have to battle to receive it.
{% hint style="info" %}
That’s the beginning of Nofts’ journey. They must construct the [Gates](https://noftgames.gitbook.io/hi/nofts-universe-lore/the-gates) that will take them to a new universe where they have a chance to survive and rebuild their Civilization.
{% endhint %}
> *I know I cannot build these Gates on my own. All I have is a small supply of Astron, and it is hardly enough to recreate a couple of soldiers in Replicator. Only united can we rise! We have a long way to go. In the meantime, all of us who survived started to form their armies. And we are in here for a long, doomed to battle for resources.*
