Is Microscope good for... ... generating a story for a colonizing spaceship that is sent on a 100-year-journey into space to open a warpgate back to the Homeland.

I think it would be cool to create the story of the journey as a roleplay session, telling the tale of the difficulties, conspiracies and mutinies that could happen in such a long voyage.

Although I am not sure Microscope or any of the other variants fits this, as this would be a more focused story and would focus on smaller events/happenings instead of whole ages and fall of empires and such. 

Please give advice. :)
