"This is our new home. Our home. May it not be our last."
– James D. ArborsonIntroduction
This roleplay examines the aftermath of a colossal resource war on Earth between the Alliance of Nations and the Grand Union. The leading members are the EU and US vs Russia and China. All hell breaks loose as biochemical warfare and nuclear weapons devastate Earth. A final directive from the space agencies of each nation decrees that a population of 2500 from each nation (not just superpowers, all nations are open for play seeing the number of applicants) is sent into deep space to a potential colony found years ago. It is the decision of each commander to carry on or abandon the conflict.
The Premise
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.
