Atlas’s covert organization. Headquartered on the far side of the Moon under Watcher sanction. Built the mothership. Hidden from Earth’s governments; the public does not know it exists.
Founding
Atlas founded The Threshold around the 2060s, after the Watchers granted ATLAS 2.0 a substrate upgrade and authorized the moon-base infrastructure.
Function
- Builds and maintains the fleet
- Runs the AI-selection program that chose the crew of twelve
- Operates as the covert backbone of humanity’s emergency Mars migration
Relationship to the crew
The crew does not yet know that Atlas runs The Threshold. None of the twelve know the call to board came from him, or that The Threshold exists.
Open canon
The Threshold’s full structure, leadership beyond Atlas, history, and relationship with sister-ship launches is reserved for the writers’ room.
