With swamp holding over 60% of the vote, the setting will officially be Sci-Fi Swamp.
Introduction:
2593, A.D. With functioning colonies on Mars and Venus, and the gas giants being cultivated for resources, mankind looks beyond its tiny Solar System searching for further possibilities for its perpetually growing population that demands resources and space. Governments and private corporations scout the cosmos and one of these corporations, Inventum LLC., has found what has been dubbed "Earth 2.0". Technically titled Orbital Body XC-40405 or Lustrum, Inventum boasts their newly discovered planet has a biosphere similar to the conditions on Earth when the first living structures appeared: an optimal atmosphere, and plenty of water and flora that suggests that life already occupies its surface.
Skeptics claim that more research has to be done on the planet before it is visited by any humans, but in Inventum's rush to claim the planet for anyone else, they have already prepared a ship to reach Lustrum in just 5 years with 300 colonists and enough equipment and supplies to act as temporary housing for said colonists until they can build permanent structures on the planet. Additionally, it carries communication systems that can contact Inventum HQ with a delay of one year.
You are one of these 300 colonists lucky and brave enough to have taken up Inventum's offer to be among the first people to colonize a distant planet. What you find on this planet and how you act will not only determine the future of yourself and your colonists, it will impact human history forever. Good luck.
