Planetfall: 2700 Introduction

---------------------------------------------------------
Setting: After the Third World War, much of Earth laid in ruin,
with large areas irradiated from nuclear weapons. After such a
destructive conflict, Global warming came full swing, flooding
large areas of the world. This in turn left the people of earth,
now allied into specific Groups(your faction), man renewed it's
attempts of finding a habitable planet.
[center]BASIC STORYLINE[/center]
After a 3rd world war the world was split into many separate
factions, these factions grew into corporations, individual
countries lost their identities, the countries still existed but
the governments were in so much debt to these mega corporations
that they now made the rules.
With these corporations struggling for dominance over the world
with espionage, assassination, threats and bribes the real
issue was ignored the amount of WMDs that were set off in the
last war heated the planet up by 5 degrees.
This accelerated Global warming to massive proportions, the more
ice caps melted the more carbon dioxide escaped into the
atmosphere and the hotter Earth became. The plan to colonize new
worlds was put on hold indefinitely after the war but with the
new threat of mass extinction looming on the horizon everyone
agreed that it was probably a good time to restart the program.
They found a planet in the next star system a lush world twice
the size of Earth simply called "Theta-108", it was capable of
supporting life and the pre-war scientists were excited to send
probes to get better readings, however the Corporations knew
that it would waste far to much time that humanity did not have
to wait for the results from probes. So a decision was made to
send humans there to start colonizing the planet straight away.
The potential loss of life was deemed "acceptable" and so plans
were set in motion.
Funneling hundreds of billions into their individual programs
the fire of the Space Race was re-lit anew.
After a few years of building and training the ships, shuttles
and pods were ready, everyone knew if mankind was to survive
Theta-108 had to be colonized. But the corporations also knew
that the team that controlled this new world would control the
fate of humanity and the corporation that backed them would be
hailed as heros and be rich beyond their wildest dreams.
Each ship was loaded with construction robots to help build
buildings and anything else the colonists needed help with.
There was not enough time to build more ships to take things
like large heavy vehicles with them. Smaller vehicles were
brought to make transportation easier and each colonization team
had around 500 soldiers with them for protection in case there
was any indigenous life that was not friendly. The weapons and
armour they were sent with were basic by agreement reached
between all the corporations to avoid starting a war on
Theta-108 and Earth.

[move]Question and answer time...[/move]
Q: so, were we supposed to have high tech units, like mecha and
Awesome tanks?
A: No: While Small Arms were loaded up, Super large tanks and
mecha weren't....It was decided by the UEC (United Earth Consul)
That such weapons were Banned, in hopes that humanity could
begin anew without such destructive tech and thus another "Big
mistake" could be avoided on Theta-108.
Q: so, no tanks or mecha?
A: They will be available after being researched...same with
whatever else your thinking..
Q: Why only one Large Colony as of now?
A: Simplicity. Humanity Officially landed in 2685...15 years
ago...

Ok. This may be a silly question, but I have to do it… so, do we
all begin in the same planet? I can’t explain but with those
words I got the impression that the players were apart. Or we
were all in the same spaceship? We all begin in the same
city/colony?

[/quote] I can answers this, each player gets their own starship
into which they head to our new world. (un)Fortunately, everyone
was aimed at the same world(we call this espionage on the part
of our parent countries)

Got questions cap'n!
Will colonizing others planets/battling with spaceships/others
space activities be possible ?
If there's only one planet, will it be cut in different biomes
(jungle etc) that will (or not) the units capacities ?
If there are several, could large scale battles affect the
conditions on planets in a dynamic way ? e.g. megabomb making
the atmosphere 100% toxic shit
Just tell me to fuck off If I'm being annoying

Space ship combat seems highly unlikely, and I would people
would be sensible enough to not ruin a new planet with WMDs

If there are several planets, a neat thing would that there is
different "levels" of habitability for a planet that would
determine what type of equipment (just a rebreather/full
suit/special suit) you need to wear in order to struggle against
the elements and that you could terraform a planet to get its
level higher and require less expensive equipment to recover
minerals/maintain your troops and those WMD would remove a level
for example.

IMO this RP is about settleing 1 planet. The farthest one can go
would be to put a weapon system into orbit... although in Beyond
earth there were warp gates to acheive end game victory but
those were end game stuff. Satellites and space stations are
plausible however.
