((So, The start timing was a little unfortunate. My uncle started having some drug problems and we all got called in to florida for an intervention. Anyways, i'm back to my regular perch now, so hopefully I can keep this at a regular schedule. Lets Begin.)
So, All of you will be assigned colors.
Scions of Terra (Kashyyk): Blue
Aigresaur Dominion (Aigre Excalibur) : Red
Henotic Hegomony (Shadowclaw777): Yellow
Human Advancement Foundation (VoidSlayer): Green
The Righteous and True Seekers Among the Stars (RTSAS) (Criptfeind): Orange
Sovereign Loetis Commonwealth (Iridium64): Purple
Black systems are unaffiliated.
As such, The Main Map.
Scions of Terra:Lead by the great Arch-Deacon Batthias Flynt you are the first group to set out from the ark. Frightened by the growing degeneracy of your peers, You are a colony of purists who seek to maintain the old order, even as the home world is in chaos back home.
Your colony ship pushes through a dense cloud of what your seems to be organic matter above a world covered in vegetation. The landing thrusters burn out huge swaths of the undergrowth that will provide enough clearing for you to begin settlement. You scientists inform you that the towering vegetation here is much closer to fungi than any sort of tree. The mess in low orbit is massive spore clouds rising from the jungles around you. Fortunately the atmosphere at ground level is fairly clear, and it appears that much of the fungus here is edible. Your people may do well here.
You have one colony on your jungle world. You should name your planet. It has
3 population. It has
5/10 happiness. Your population has grown by
.125 this year.
Aigresaur Dominion:Led by Emperor Aigresaur the Nth, your people have formed around his cult of personality while upon the ark. Enraptured by his glorious vision of transhumanism, your group has subjected themselves to extensive genetic editing until they are, by all definitions, no longer human. If this change is for the better or worse is no longer discussed. It is, so be it. Driven off the ark for your tendency to still seek out human mates, your people seek to found a new society, where they will not be confined by such dated taboos and social norms.
Your system is large and empty. A single unassuming planet orbiting a massive red star, alone and perfectly situated in the goldilocks zone. Your ship sets down in a wide grassy field, with the coast line just over the horizon. This world is open before you.
You have a single colony on a standard planet. You should give it a name. It has
3 population. It's happiness is at
5/10. Your population has grown by
.4 this year.
Henotic Hegomony:The third group to leave the ark ship was rather odd. There was no one trait that seemed to define them, yet they all seemed drawn together. They left the others without a word, quietly into the abyss. It was not until they began to hatch that the few uninfected humans aboard realized what horror they had found themselves in. For their grizzly origins, they are a rather mundane race. Headed by a royal clan and the revered Imperator Chelicerata, they systematically sweep up the surviving humans as they descend to a desert planet. Unfortunately, near the end of the sweep a desperate human blows an airlock, sending himself, the unfortunate fella sent to detain him, and a dozen farming drones worth of debris scattering out into low orbit.
Your ship sets down on a rocky outcrop next to an oasis, where you can watch the dunes blowing by below.
You have a single colony on a desert planet. You ought to name it. It has a population of
3 It has a happiness of
5/10. Your population has grown by
.4 this year.
Human Advancement Foundation:The human advancement foundation is a pseudo republic technocracy, founded by the remains of the technical team aboard the Ark ship. There is much contention and much shouting by different groups as to the best destination, but eventually one voice rises above the rest. Dr. Jankowski. Citing the cold temperatures for cooling supercomputers and the low gravity as "Super Dope" they settle on a small ice planet in relatively local space. When they get there though, they find things are much different than they assumed.
Upon entering the system they find a large planet previously hidden behind a star beaming with signs of life. Scans indicate all sorts of signals and an archaic radio is constructed to listen in on them. There is even a primitive space station in orbit!
The other surprise is that your dwarf planet is surrounded by debris! Most of this turns out to be the remains of ships form the locals. Failed probes and lander missions. On the surface you find a number of quaint rovers as well, though it seems like they have all been offline for quite a while now.
You build you colony into the side of a crevasse, sheltered from the winds and snow.
You have a single colony on a small ice planet. The local name for it translates as "Sister's eye" roughly. You can rename it if you want. It has
3 population. It's happiness is at
5/10. Your population has grown by
.45 This turn.
Some of your people think you should contact the locals immediately. Do you wish to do so? If not, you can always do so later.
The Righteous and True Seekers Among the Stars:At this point in time, about half of the ark population had left. This was when something interesting came up on the scanners. A perfect world. A paradise planet. All number of factions began to lay claim, but no so fanatic as that lead by the man known only as the Grand Hierophant. He sought to claim the world at any cost, unhesitating when it came to violence and force. He lead a campaign to seize the remaining colony ships and control of the ark as a whole, but violence begets violence and soon a determined resistance formed, the ark divided into warring tribes. Unable to wrest control of the ship he and his cult of followers prepared a colony ship to settle it before anyone else could.
Three ships set out for the paradise world, and his was one of them. They repurposed one of the mining drones into a makeshift torpedo, and blew apart one of the ships as it crossed over the dwarf planet orbiting the world below, it's debris stuck in low orbit. The other ship retreated, lacking enough fuel to reach another system they disappeared into an asteroid belt.
When at last you stepped out into that temperate sunshine of your beautiful world you had won. This planet was yours, and yours alone.
You own one colony on a paradise world. You should give it a name. It has
3 population. It has
5/10 happiness. Your population has grown by
.75 this year!
Sovereign Loetis Commonwealth: The last survivors of the ark, the loetis commonwealth has a sad origin. The arks that launched in race for the paradise world were not all fully loaded, and the one ship that remains can not carry you all. Embracing the cold impartiality of technology, the survivors were chosen at random by RNG. And so the last ship left, carrying a group both sad and defiant, bitter towards the recklessness of the other colonies that lead to such tragedy. They landed on a cold desert planet, watching sand dunes sweep away, transient in this world. The others could not be trusted to build here. Only they truly knew the consequences of their actions.
You have one sad colony on a desert planet. Maybe a name would cheer them up? It has
3 population. It has
5/10 happiness. Your population has grown by
.3 this year.
