You made one unforgivable error at the outset; unforgivable because 1) it's the kind of thing that taints a readers assessment of what they're about to read (unfairly, in this case) and 2) it's so avoidable. Your opening sentence is a fragment, and not the kind that stylistic license might excuse. I know, you meant to use a comma and you used a period instead. Simple mistake. Except that broadcasting to the strangers you hope to enroll into your universe that you don't really know what you're doing, or don't care, is probably not the best way to win friends and influence people, particularly since clearly you do know what you're doing. That's why I never let anyone see anything of mine until I've let someone copy proof it who knows what they are doing.
That aside, my only other complaint is that I was ready to read more, but there wasn't any. I'd like to see where you take this, and the short intro that you've provided would have been sufficient to coax me to stick around and find out. While I have no built-in aversion to Sci-Fi as a genre, I find that too much of it is concerned with world creation, at the expense of characters and story. It seems you might dodge that bullet. So if more of this becomes available, let me know.
And don't make rookie blunders.
