Grand Star (2007)
Overview
Grand Star, known as La Compagnie des Glaces in France, is a Canadian French-Belgian sci-fi series that premiered on Space and A-Channel in September 2007. The story is set in a post-apocalyptic world, a century after a devastating nuclear blast on the Moon plunges Earth into a relentless Ice Age. It follows the dynamics between a small group of survivors on Earth and the returning descendants of colonists who fled before the disaster. The show is based on Georges-Jean Arnaud's novel series of the same name. In 2007, a multiplayer strategy game inspired by the series launched, where players compete using trains to amass wealth and control energy resources. Additionally, a French video game named Transarctica was created based on the novels, albeit with a rough English translation. The first book in the series was translated in 2010, titled The Ice Company, by Jean-Marc Lofficier and Randy Lofficier.
