Is there any mineral wealth in Pratchapadri?
Or has it been depleted?

Edit: Pepper, another fan of papers please, marvellous game

Sovi3t: There is, in fact, a great big vein of mineral wealth buried underneath one of the prime National Parks. Everyone knows it's there, but nobody dares to mine it. Well, nobody respectable dares to mine it. Illicit and covert mining operations have been going on for years. Many Robotic Intelligences, in fact, owe their lives to this deposit, as it's where the silver that made them came from.

Other than that, there are a couple of much less enticing deposits scattered about. Feel free to mine in Pratchapadri, just beware of the extensive legal environmental impact paperwork that you have to do. Or at least, have to half-heartedly "adhere to" while inspectors are around. Oh, and I expect that I'd be a fairly large customer of yours, heedlessly burning through valuables like my nation does.

What do you think about me originally being a part of Nai Kolkata until Pratchapadri peaceably broke off?


That would work well.

Yer accepted. I feel they should be getting most of their business from clearing up trees in areas for people to settle in, rather than selling wood, but it works anyway.

EDIT: I'm also not sure we'd call alien wood 'timber', but eh, there's no telling what they are made of. Maybe they just call it timber because it's traditional.

Eh, it's 50/50. I won't be concentrating on selling the wood as much as pissing about in the jungle and fucking around in the politics of it all.

Assuming everyone gets their apps done, we'll have six nations, two city-states and one single character.

Evan and Rare are working on their apps, and I'll work on mine soon. Gorgenmast should have his app up soon (as a single character). Isotope/Moose says he'll join too (post above :P), but I'm not sure what he's going with.

Out of curiosity Pepper, the layout of the solar system is so far we have Brahma, the moon world, but what is it orbiting? And are their asteroids in this system that can be mined? I won't really be focusing on this myself, but it would surely open up new mining lanes

What we have for certain right now is...

A: The Sun, Indus, which is an orange star just a tad smaller than ours.
B: Brahmapura, a gas giant that looks roughly like a slightly redder version of Jupiter, which orbits Indus at about the same distant the Earth orbits the sun.
C: Brahma, a moon that orbits Brahmapura and is the world we are mainly RPing on. You can see Brahmapura from Brahma.
D: Shiva and Kali, two Brown Dwarf stars in a lose trinary relationship with Indus, who orbit each other at around 2AU and Indus at about 1400 AU (1AU being the same as the distance between the earth and the sun).

Nothing else has been sat in stone. It's a given that there will be other planets and moons, we just haven't pointed out where they are yet.

Maybe I should list those in the OP... Unless they are listed in the Brahma codex, which I'm not sure cause it's been a while since I last read it and I am way too tired to re-read it now :P

I may have very well missed this information on the OP. I think, considering this Bramapura is a gas giant, that we may have very well found the source of those elements Sovi3t was making. It was very well explain why they would even bother colonizing the moon in the first place. It could make a very interesting story for everyone to work with if there is still only the one siphon station on that giant, and all the nations want that fuel...

These are just ideas mind you.

Name - Sofija Sobral
Occupation - Xenobiologist with the Tkrai Advocacy Foundation
Biography - Sofija Sobral was born thirty-six years ago to parents of Chilean and Croatian descent in Goye, a small city on the planet Orpheus. As a child who enjoyed nothing more than to play outdoors, the young Sofija bore firsthand witness to the effects of the colonial administration's terraformation initiative. She spent her childhood watching the very world around her transformed by the human settlers. The primitive native ecosystem of Orpheus was trampled roughshod underneath an invasion of plants and animals introduced from Earth. The wispy, moldlike growth that covered the hills outside her home in pale magenta was smothered under a blanket of moss and grasses. Escaped cats and dogs, birds, fish, even salamanders and toads eradicated the fragile populations of small alien animals; everything the humans brought to Orpheus seemed to destroy native life. It was these early hikes and forays into the hills that decided Sofija's path through life.

Upon completing her compulsory education, Sofija moved to Ciudad Capolican, the capital and largest city on Orpheus where she dedicated herself to a rigorous curriculum at the prestigious Institute of Nueva Araucania. There, her studies revolved around ecology, organic chemistry, alternate biochemistries, and comparative anatomy. Alongside her studies, Sofija completed exhaustive studies on the ecological havoc being wrought upon the alien ecology by the terraformation efforts. Even before completing her studies, her efforts won the young Sobral distinction among conservation circles on Orpheus and the remaining worlds. Upon completing her studies at the Institute of Nueva Araucania, Sofija worked alongside prominent bioethicists and xenoecologists to limit the scope and damage being meted out by the colonial administration's ongoing terraformation of Orpheus.

Sobral's work on Orpheus was cut short soon after her career began. For after some thirty years after disappearing into the cosmos, the Listeners had returned to finish what they had begun at Earth. Without warning, their constructs appeared above many of the remaining human worlds including Orpheus. Sofija happened to be present at the capitol in Ciudad Capolican as part of a hearing when the Listener construct above Orpheus was first detected. During the ensuing panic, she was swept up alongside the heads of state and taken aboard freighter vessels requisitioned to participate in the hasty evacuation effort. As the Listener construct approached her home planet, Sobral watched from low orbit as the meager fleet of warships abovee Orpheus launched a valiant yet futile assault on the Listener construct. The alien vessel effortlessly destroyed the defense fleet and descended toward Orpheus, where it proceeded to lay waste to the planet and nearly all of its inhabitants.

The ship upon which Sofija had escaped upon fled to a handful of colony worlds only to find broken, burning cinders where lush planets had been only weeks before. The Listener onslaught appeared to have been complete. But at last, the ship that had spirited her away came upon Brahma and found it intact. When she landed down in the city of Nai Kolkatta, she found herself amidst millions of refugees of worlds ravaged by the Listener onslaught. It was in those hectic times, when the cities of Brahma were bursting at the seams with such an influx of displaced people, that Sofija found herself living as a vagabond as so many of the new arrivals had. Still mourning the loss of everyone she had ever known on her home planet, the educated xenobiologist from Orpheus was reduced to life on the streets of Nai Kolkatta. She survived on taking menial, odd jobs when she could find them, panhandling, and worse. It was during these dark days that Sofija considered taking her own life.

But in her darkest hour Sofija met Erko, one of the batlike Tkrai native to Brahma. Erko, like the other Tkrai that had traveled to the human cities cropping up out of the jungles in search of work, had fared little better than Sofija and the other displaced refugees. Sofija empathized with Erko who had also been been subjected to mistreatment living in the gutters of Nai Kolkatta, and the two quickly became close friends. Erko invited Sofija to live with him in a hut in the Indigenous Quarters, and she in turned helped him improve his English that he might find higher skill work.

Through his fellow Batmen neighbors, Erko learned of the Tkrai Advocacy Foundation - a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lot of the maltreated Batmen. Erko immediately insisted that Sofija contact the Foundation, which he believed could benefit from someone with Sofija's level of expertise. Heeding her friend's advice, Sofija made her way to their office in Nai Kolkatta and provided them with her credentials. Many of the foundation's management positions had background in exoconservation, and were amazed to learn that the esteemed Sofija Sobral had not only survived the destruction of Orpheus but arrived at their office in search of work. Sobral was welcomed to the team on the spot. In addition, the foundation agreed to take on Erko as well -citing the need for someone capable of speaking both English and the indigenous languages of the Tkrai.

With new and gainful work, Sofija and Erko left the slums of the Indigenous Quarters for an apartment in the city. With a new home and new hope, the unlikely companions look forward to assisting the Foundation in preventing human colonizers from causing undue damage to this brave new world and the Batmen natives that share it as their home.
