Knight Rangers Idea

Nice. The only suggestion I have would be that Ark Einstein is just the first of a small class (10 or so) of "last hope" ships. Some functioning as sleeper ships a lot longer than expected...

Well that idea can and does fit simultaneous to Gnume's idea..

The situation is was this : Earth fights World War III, suddenly Aliens land and tell humanity that there are Insect like Aliens that want to basically eat them and that they can't be stopped and suggest Earthers evacuate. Sarans give Earth the knowledge of TL 3 to built exactly what Gnume suggests....Arks to evacuate as much as possible (then the 100,000,000 people number makes sense....

There is The Guardian of Earth but he only supports whatever decission his "Children" have. Stahl comes up with the idea to fight instead to flee.

So yes it is quite logicalto think that there would be quite a few humans who think the idea of the Sarans is far better than the one of Stahl (who at that time is not the Legend he turns out to become)

But it is the decission of the new founded World Governemnt (under control of the 200 Immortals) to fight and built the Robot Bombs.. So the resourches to built a ship for 100 Million aren't there...

So perhaps the EInstein is built and crewed by an initiative of those mentioned Scientists and a private / civliian corporation or movement.

So I suggest (to make it Canon) : The Ark Einstein is built and sent on her way with a somewhat less numerous colonist crew and she isn't aiming to go across the Big Gulf to another Galaxy..but perhaps across the Milky way galaxy into regions even unknown to the Sarans of that time.

(there could be a Hyper Jump accident that sends them there anyway if  you want) --> Hyper Jump

Also the  Last Hope Idea of Knight Ranger  could be a project form the Earth Government who indeed has to anwer the question ..What happens if the Xunx War plan doesn't work out as expected...Earth's humanity must survive and a number of smaller Last Hope Arks are built and sent on their way..even BEFORE the Second Exodus starts (Second Exodus really gets going only AFTER the Xunx are defeated.) Before that it is primarily the SOL system that is colonized.
