The exploration of new planets became possible thanks to the technology of transferring people's consciousness into their cloned bodies. Grown on ships sent into deep space, the bodies of clones died time after time from dangers unknown to mankind. The consciousness of the deceased returns after this to the original body, or to another cloned body, allowing research to continue. The remains of civilization on the planet Ehplis allowed researchers to take another step along the path of evolution, bringing people to a level beyond the control of the state remaining on Earth.
