The Other Red Dwarf, a Pluto Expansion

[ImmortalRedshirt]

Lore Impact (Small/Medium/Large): Medium

Species: Human

Short Description: An expansion to Pluto primarily focusing on the environment and society that resides within

How will this be reflected on-station?: Characters from Pluto will have a lot more to work with in order to set themselves apart from other Plutonians.

Does this addition do anything not achieved by what already exists?: Yes. The wiki currently describes very little about the Plutonian lifestyle, something that is very much needed for a world with as unique a background in a corporate-dominated Spur as this.

Do you understand that the project may change over time in ways you may not foresee once it is handed over to the Lore Team? Yes.

Long Description: This application does not describe every minute detail about Pluto, and that's intentional. No one place is a monolith, and even with much of the societal portion expanded on, plenty of things are left open-ended in order to make unique characters. Some of the most interesting people to come out of this planet were those that held closely to the culture they grew up immersed in, but expressed their own ideas and desires, and I want to encourage that here by providing an expanded base to work from.

Praise to Plutonian players past and present who provided plans and perspectives for this "planet" proposal.

While not a big fan of the VR stuff, i think that all other changes and additions proposed are real great and would add a lot to current Pluto lore. And if i could suggest another thing to expand upon Pluto lore, i would suggest expanding the Communist Party lore.

Hi, thank you for this submission. There are parts of this application that we really liked and parts that we really did not, so we will be accepting this application in part and including the parts that we found acceptable. I will go through the application now.

- Entry blurb changes: Fine, accepted.

- Gravity Generator and Offworlders on the Moons: Denied. The moons are already noted as being the primary industrial centres for the helium-3 industry and would have no permanent residential inhabitants for this reason. Gravity gens are a little weird, this is true, but this solution isn't one we like for Pluto.

- Eridanian Dreg Addition: Denied, we do not want this in Pluto's lore.

- Architecture lore: This isn't bad, we will likely accept most of this. AR devices are too gimmicky and weird, they will not be included. The gardening bits are fine but will need to be tweaked.

- Sports lore is fine but the eSports lore will be removed, vidya gaming is an "unproductive" hobby that I doubt the Plutonian government would want to support or endorse.

- The surveillance lore is p ok, we will probably scale it back a little.

- Economics addition: Core concept seems fine, we will likely change the details however.

- We agree that Pluto should have a media section but we didn't find any of the selections presented here all that convincing to us. We may add some in the future however.
