The '''''New Hope''''' was a [[colony ship]] | The '''''New Hope''''' was a [[colony ship]] launched by [[human]]s on [[Earth]] in [[2100]]. Its crew became the original [[colonist]]s of [[Agora]], before the ship relocated to [[New Earth (Time of Your Life)|New Earth]]. | ||

The ''New Hope'' was created | The ''New Hope'' was created by [[human]]s on [[Earth]], before being launched in [[2100]], as part of the [[Century Program]]. The [[colony ship]]'s launch - described by humanity as the beginning of the [[Colonial Age]] - was broadcast by [[satellite camera]]s to [[800000000 (number)|800,000,000]] humans across Earth, and was witnessed by the [[Sixth Doctor]] and [[Grant Markham]] from within [[the Doctor's TARDIS]], 400,000 [[mile]]s above the surface of [[Mars]]. The ''New Hope'' then began a journey to the [[Centraxis system]], to a [[planet]] that the [[crew]] would colonise and name [[Agora]], described by the Sixth Doctor as "the most remote of the prototype colonies". The majority of the ''New Hope''<nowiki/>'s [[Administrative Council]] [[Voting|voted]] that the [[civilisation]] that they would establish on Agora would eschew the advanced [[technology]] developed on Earth, in favour of a significantly more primitive, [[Agriculture|agricultural]] [[society]]. | ||
When the ''New Hope'' eventually landed on Agora, the crew sealed away, in the ship's chambers, all of the [[blueprint]]s and materials of the advanced technology that they had brought with them within the colony ship. The ''New Hope'' was then piloted by a splinter faction of the crew, who were against the idea of living in an agricultural civilisation, from Agora to a different planet; these splinter crew members eventually established a significantly more technologically-advanced civilisation on another planet, and named it [[New Earth (Time of Your Life)|New Earth]]. However, the decision by the [[colonist]]s of Agora to abandon the advanced technology that they had brought with them onboard the ''New Hope'' ultimately resulted in the colonists and their [[descendant]]s being unable to prevent the [[CyberNomad]]s from invading Agora in the [[2150s]], and subsequently enslaving the planet's inhabitants to serve as a [[Cyberman]] breeding [[colony]] during the [[Vogan War]] and its aftermath.
