The Cries of Terra
"This is our new home. Our home. May it not be our last."
– James D. Arborson
The Landings
You play as one of the four main landing squads. The role-play begins at ten seconds before breaking into the atmosphere of Neo Terra. The world's radius is approximately 6,000 km, 371 km less than earth's. The climate fluctuates 30˚ C from 35˚ C. It seems only plant life and small amounts of bacteria and single-celled organisms is to be found here. The planet's surface is 90% water and has no polar caps, although the water is considerably colder in the extreme poles.
The role-play will follow the setup and thriving, as well as the diplomacy, between the colonies that escaped earth in the apocalypse. The catastrophe was caused by bioweapons and excessive nuclear warfare, and every nation still has deep resentment of one another. The U.S. and E.U. vessels are likely allied, as are the Russian and Chinese vessels. It is unknown wether the colonial powers will engage in instant warfare or settle their differences. Either way, Earth is gone, and Neo Terra is the only future.
It is assumed that solar technology can now easily sustain a population at the rate an infinite amount of fossil fuels can in modern day. It is also assumed that laser technology has reached the point where titanium can be melted in 5 milliseconds by a sustained laser beam.
