Elim-15

This story centers on an Australian Elon Musk-type character who drives the narrative. Follow the fortunes of Nicole, an ex-RAAF Elec Fitter turned Aerospace Engineer, as she is recruited by Aaron Daniels, the CEO of CosmoTechs, to work on his star craft.

Set in Queensland, the story parallels contemporary space exploration. Join Nicole and Aaron as they navigate the uncertain world of space exploration, balancing cutting-edge technology with age-old Indigenous land rights. Nicole is an engineer, not a negotiator – how can she secure a win-win deal while ensuring Elim15 works for CosmoTechs?

Experience the ups and downs of the burgeoning Australian space industry through close calls and skillful maneuvers. This story elevates sleepy Cooktown to international prominence, culminating in an unexpected rescue mission, moon landings, and treacherous cis-lunar voyages back to Earth orbit.
