It has been 0 Sunrises since we've landed on the surface of a planet of the outskirts of s.j4. Though, “landed” might be a bit of a stretch, considering. A few hours ago, we made contact with a Bandolier supply vessel attempting to sneak it's way across the system. Our Albatross engaged with it, trading fire as we approached j4.7. We landed a direct hit on its primary engines. It lost its flight capability and was caught in j4.7's atmospheric pull. We began our approach, pursuing it to the surface. Unfortunately, we were caught in an electromagnetic storm in the atmosphere, taking heavy engine and electronic damage. As such, I am recording our Mission Keylogs locally, as opposed to transmitting them. We set down with our backs to a cliff face, losing all propulsion about 5 meters above the surface. Upon landing, I briefed with the Staff Sergeant's under my command to gain an understanding of our current situation. After a bit of discussing, we've decided to send Staff Sergeant Murray, O'Leary, and Matheson, along with the rest of the second roster squads to go set up a forward command through some local cave systems. We plan to set up a series of communication relays in an effort to penetrate the magnetic storm, though we've had no such luck. Me and the rest of Roster 1 are fortifying what's left of our Albatross, stripping it of supplies and anything else we can make use of. We will begin searching for a method of exfil. There is still that Bandolier vessel to worry about, on the assumption it did not burn up in the atmosphere. We hope we'll be able to find enough supplies to survive if our rations are depleted. Our initial scans have indicated that this planet is teeming with fauna, and we've already had several encounters with small flying organisms. This brings up a concern about the potential presence of dangerous organisms, though we suspect we will not have much trouble. Activities will be logged. //save.log1// [/spoiler] Story is currently being planned. Inspired by the fate of the GFMC and the G.F.S. Tyr on Aether. UPDATE 1: New information. World building, mostly. [spoiler=Info] Mazai HL-104A ‘Albatross' Grandliner Alex Rhodri - co - assigned to squad 1-1 Peyton Ryder - pilot - assigned to squad 1-2 Roster 1 Squad 1-1 Cornelius Roberts Emily Cecilia Francesca Ecila Ruth Reynolds Christopher Cox Squad 1-2 Harland Winters Powell Young Jacob Cox Wright Hughes Lucy Sears Squad 1-3 Adella Harris Shaw Harrison Ryder Steele Ulysses Shaw Roster 2 Squad 2-1 Peter Murray Stephen Watson Judith Hill Simon Sears Carmichael Williams Squad 2-2 Josiah O'Leary Jonas Clarke Peter O'Connor Gideon Barnes Clement Scott Squad 2-3 Fielding Matheson Josephine Sherman Bailey Sands Mathias Horras Voltaire McNevin Conglomerate Serviceman and Servicewoman are typically recruited from the sectors they end up stationed at. Sector Jorde-4 is where the vast majority of crew of the Grandliner originates from, though within the inner planets. Jorde-4 is in the outermost reaches of Conglomerate-controlled space, and boasts a population that reflects this. It carries little of value in terms of exports or strategic positioning, and is more often than not ignored by the Conglomerate. However, recent Bandolier activity in the sector ended up forcing the Conglomerate to deploy a limited military force there, stationed on j4.1 and covering all planetoids through j4.11. Jorde-4 Planetoids: j4.1 - Inner - Terrestrial Planet - Started as a celestial body capable of sustaining life. As such, it was quickly colonized and turned into the Conglomerate hub world for the sector. Pop. ~2b, primary export of various forms of fauna and water. 3 continents, 84% water-covered surface. j4.2 - Inner - Terrestrial Planet - A terraformed mass of rock and dust, it only was colonized because of its close proximity to j4.1. Either a stopping point for refugees and runaways, or a den of scum and villainy, depending on which side of the planet you happen to be on. Pop. ~785m, primary export of a few different types of rocks and minerals. 1 supercontinent, <3% water-covered surface. j4.3 - Inner - Gas Planet - A vital source of fuelvapor and other assorted chemical substances in j4, many floating cities occupy the gaseous exosphere of this planet. Most of said cities and stations belong directly to the Conglomerate. Pop. ~232m, primary export of fuelvapor. Potential surface is unprobed, so continents and water amounts are unknown. j4.4 - Inner - Terrestrial Planet - A practically uninhabited sphere of rock and gravel completely covered by a gigantic ocean of liquidized refretium, which constantly emanates unrefined refretium gas. Unlivable by >99% of all known planetary organisms. Only a single floating settlement exists on the refretium’s surface, as a research station. Pop. <3,000, primary export of the occasionally extremely pure refretium vapor samples. No continents, 100% liquid-covered surface. j4.b - Barrier Formation - Known as the Radsphere by j4 natives, this immense sphere of celestial radiation is what separates the Inner and Outer parts of j4. Though it is safe to dive through, ships not equipped with radiation shielding are not advised to fly through, at risk of hallucinations, dangerous large interstellar radiation-consuming organisms, mysterious disappearances, cancerous growths, and death. j4.5 - Outer - Gas Planet - Due to the effective uselessness of everything the planet produces, it serves as a checkpoint between the inner and outer planets, and nothing more. A single station floats on the surface, using a special inefficient floater that utilizes the vast quantities of low-potential energy gas in the atmosphere, thus letting it run itself without need of imported fuel. Pop. <2,000, no primary export. Potential surface is unprobed, so continents and water amounts are unknown. j4.6 - Outer - Terrestrial Planet - A miner hotspot due to the giant quartz formations that are littered all across the planets surface. Within these giant crystals, very small quantities of Framar-2 ore are found littered throughout, which are absolutely vital to shipborne interstellar communication and course planning for Navigation AI. Due to the size and delicacy of Framar-2, gigantic strip-mining operations cannot occur, so almost all of the ore is hand mined. Despite the massive profitability of Framar-2, it is an unrefined form of Framar-1, which is found in larger quantities in sectors outside of j4, explaining the lack of many official Conglomerate mining operations. Pop. 2m, primary export of Unrefined Framar-2 and Refined Framar-1. No continents, no oceans. Beyond j4.6 is known as the Unknown, as no official Conglomorate exploration or colonization missions have been enacted beyond this point. Junior explorers or pirates often make there way past this point, however. j4.7 - Outer - Terrestrial Planet - The planet where official Conglomerate exploration missions ceased, this partly explored world is the only planet in Outer j4 that was not in need of terraforming to hold life, as it contains a vast quantity of native fauna despite its distance from j4’s sun. The planet’s atmosphere often has raging electromagnetic storms that are quite capable of disabling even the largest of spacecraft. Little is known about this world, though it is assumed that some form of geothermal energy sustains life on this world outside what little sun it gets. No registered population, no exports. 5 continents, 66% water-covered surface. j4.8 - Outer - Gas Planet - Based on stellar observations and witness reports, j4.8 is covered in raging gas storms so violent that even the exosphere is not safe for stations. No registered population, no exports. Potential surface is unprobed, so continents and water amounts are unknown. j4.9 - Outer - Terrestrial - A barren world of gray dust and rock. According to witnesses, it contains no atmosphere, and has almost nothing of any notable interest. No registered population, no exports. No continents, no oceans. j4.10-11 - Outer - Terrestrial - Interstellar electronic telescopes indicate that these two barren planets–locked in a very close orbit as they both orbit the sun–are very recent editions to j4. While it is therorized these two planets were once separate, they have begun the process of becoming a single body, as their proximity tears at each others surface in a flurry of magma and smashing rocks. No registered population, no exports. No continents, no oceans.[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
