Terra Nova

Turn 0

[System Map]

The colonists arrive within the gravity well of ASTR38-A, and many immediately begin petitioning to give the star a real name, now they intend to call it home. Eight colony ships in total converge on the worlds orbiting that star, while a mysterious space station that appeared during the last few months sits in orbit above the gas giant. In addition, the mercantile Ongel have built a trade depot in orbit of the habitable moon ASTR38-Acii, scanners pick up disturbances that could indicate additional hidden ships converging on the system, and initial readings indicate there may even be neolithic intelligent life on the habitable moon itself.

With colonies still packed and preparing to land, the ships are now all in communication range of one another. Although it is perhaps too soon to trade anything of value, with all focus and production on the foundation of these new colonies for now, it would still be wise for them to get to know one another. After all, they will soon be neighbouring nations for what will most likely be the rest of their lives. And they wouldn't want to accidentally try and claim the same square mile of land, as unlikely as that would be.

The coming ten years will see pre-planned colonial development and the establishment of basic colonies. Once those are done, the first true research, production, trade and concrete collaboration can begin. But now is the time for humble beginnings.
