HeeHee. Actually I called it "Proxima Centauri (Oops wrong planet!)"

The idea being somehow everyone all ends up landing at once on the same 
planet but it is not the expected planet at all so the space race is still 
on, everyone can still try to reach Alpha Centauri. Meanwhile there are 
some quirks to this new world they have landed on, such as all the high 
tech ships have the Trireme flag, something in the oceans does not seem to 
agree with all that steel or technology or pollution or something...

Plus during the voyage who knows what politics and religion might have
been going on, by the time of the landing the captain is a despot and
people will have to work out all over again what other kind of government
might be appropriate. I am trying to make the the basic choice be whether
to rebuild "Basic industry" with all its pollution and such or to go
native and learn to ride beasts and use sail and maybe even learn to
communicate with the native intelligences and maybe even discover "The 
Force"...
