The migration of a homeless group to a new home. There are many motives: they may be refugees running from the light of their burning homes, they may wish to escape a wicked or unjust land and start anew. They may be migrating for profit. This theme can be the basis of an Epic. If done in space the heroes can become Space Cossacks in the process. May overlap with Fighting for a Homeland, Invading Refugees, or The Quest. May lead to Settling the Frontier. Examples |

Homeworld. It's All There in the Manual, but the planet of Kharak was becoming less and less hospitable to Kushan life, and one of the Mothership's objectives was to find somewhere more viable in the long-term. The Taiidani Imperium rendered this somewhat academic. | |

In Katherine Kerr's Deverry series, the humans migrated to the world of Annwn after being chased out of their homeland by the "cursed Rhwmanes". This ulitmately caused the decimation of the Elven people. | |

Space Battleship Yamato: The original reason for rebuilding the Yamato as a spaceship was something like this, but when they learned that there was technology on Iscandar that could cleanse the earth of radiation poisoning they quickly changed the mission. some of the crew try to colonize Iscandar anyway though. In the 3rd series, they are in fact sent on a mission to find a new planet for people to migrate to, and fail, but end up saving Earth again. | |

Vilhelm Moberg's The Emigrants series follows a group of poor farmers who migrate from the same Swedish village to settle in Minnesota, trying to escape forces varying from religious persecution to sexual exploitation to poverty so severe that one family's child starves to death.note Because Moberg based the characters on old letters and diaries he found during his research, these motivations were presumably Truth in Television for some Swedish migrants during the 1850's. | |

Macross Frontier follows several Generation Ships, including the titular Frontier, as they explore the galaxy to find new places for humanity and Zentradi to inhabit after the original Super Dimension Fortress Macross saw much of the Earth devastated. Earth itself isn't abandoned by any means, but nobody wants humankind restricted to just one planet anymore... not after the Zentraedi War very nearly lead to humanity's extinction. | |

Traveller has a lot of these too. The Sword Worlds were the migration of soldiers from a previous regime on Terra who were stranded by their government's overthrow. The best sample campaign in the Gurps Traveller series, 100 Parsecs, is about a project for preserving the Sword Worlder way of life on a distant world. Aslan are always doing this as well. This is in some ways the second hat of the Aslan(the first is Proud Warrior Race). Aslan have a biological obsession with land and it is one of the main basis' for status. They regularly send out what they call Ihaiti fleets of colonists who settle on planets. Sometimes they do so by force and at other times they make a treaty with locals who have land to share. A classic treaty of this kind involves military service for land. |

During the fall of the Star League in the backstory of BattleTech; the Star League Defense Forces left (along with their families and anyone else who wanted to go) known space to prevent their weapons and soldiers from being used against the citizens of the Inner Sphere by the warring Great Houses. Their descendants, after a bit of a cultural shift, eventually migrated back with the objective to end the still ongoing wars through force. | |

In The Elder Scrolls, the Dunmer (Dark Elves), formerly the Chimer, have done this twice in their people's history. To note: Originally, as the Chimer, they were led to Morrowind in a mass migration from the Summerset Isles by the prophet Veloth. They left to pursue the opportunity to worship the "Good" Daedra and their ancestors, as opposed to the Aedra worship of the Altmer (High Elves). Following the events of the Red Year, the Dunmer people were forced to flee Morrowind. Many poured into Solstheim, which by the 4th Era wasn't much more than a frozen rock and site of a failed Imperial mining colony. Others fled to mainland Skyrim, settling in the poorer areas of eastern Skyrim where they are treated as little better than second class citizens to the native Nords. |

The cats in the prequel series, Warrior Cats: Dawn of the Clans, also undertake an exodus of their own, heading from the mountainous home of what would become the Tribe of Rushing Water after it became clear there wasn't enough food to support every cat there. Following the rising sun, they eventually settled in a forest in the plains, mingling with the local cats to become the four (five, back then) Clans. | |

Warrior Cats had this as the plot of the second series, after the original forest was destroyed to make way for a road, forcing the Clans to undergo an exodus across unknown lands (mostly some farmland and a smallish city. To cats, that's a long way) and a mountain range, towards a destination whose location or nature they're not even sure of. The cats in the prequel series, Warrior Cats: Dawn of the Clans, also undertake an exodus of their own, heading from the mountainous home of what would become the Tribe of Rushing Water after it became clear there wasn't enough food to support every cat there. Following the rising sun, they eventually settled in a forest in the plains, mingling with the local cats to become the four (five, back then) Clans. Before that, the Ancients, cats who lived around the lake before the Clans did, left their home for the mountains, fleeing Twoleg activity at their old home, eventually forming the Tribe of Rushing Water... from whom would descend the Clans, who eventually settled the lake again, bringing the migrations full circle. |
