In 2035, SpaceX sent hundreds of average people, Farmers, Doctors, Miners, to the cold and unforgiving wastelands of Mars. They called it 'The Hope Project'
They named it this as they hoped that it would give humanity a new chance to prosper, away from the dying Earth, away from the opressive and violent ways of the Earth nations.
The landing about 255KM away from the Equator of Mars was fairly smooth just as was the journey, friendships were made and it truely seemed that Mars would be a bastion for peace and compassion.
The first colony was founded, Neo Haven, on March 21 2036' while initial issues with obtaining and purifying the water found underground on Mars proved an early stumbling block, soon the colony was harmonious and fully slef sufficient, something that on Earth would be impossible. The colony eventually outgrew itself with people having children and those who were children when arriving growing into adults. To solve this, a second colony built 25km East of Neo Haven was founded, this colony wasn't as sucessful, the purification systems failed within a week of foundation and around 20 colonists died of poisoning.
Many fled from the second colony, they took oxygen and only the essential items and progressed over days to Neo Haven looking for reprieve. The journey was hard, many died and many simply went missing, eventually 150 bedraggled and exhausted refugees arrived at the airlock of Neo Haven. But to their suprise, soldiers walked out and demanded they returned to their colony. When they refused, the soldiers opened fire with their M-18 Advanced Colonist Rifles, fully automatic weapons capable of 750rpm. All 150 were mercilessly gunned down in an event known as 'The Catalyst'
Outraged citizens revolted, set fire to government buildings and in turn the government responded with mass killings and demolishing homes. By the time the year 2051 had been reached, the civil war had raged for 5 years, almost nowhere was left standing.
Now scavengers roam the streets of Neo Haven, looking simply to survive. Will you?
So, that's my little intro hope you all enjoyed it, just courting for interest, I only have the story laid out right now, other things need to be worked out before I go ahead and make a OOC post. Essentially I'm looking for three players who can be somewhat active and of course find this interesting, I'd also love to hear suggestions and will happily answer any questions on the thread or through PM. Thanks for reading :)
