[Accepted] Trummer, a space-bound colony station.


Recommended Posts

Type (e.g. Planet, Faction, System): Colony Space Station


Founding/Settlement Date (if applicable): 2413 is the recorded "Creation" of said Colony. The initial Accident dates to 2411


Region of Space: Outer Colonies


Controlled by (if not a faction): Sol Alliance


Other Snapshot information:

The Colony Station has a highly advanced magnetic tractor beam which was originally intended as a pully mechanism with which the first landing ship, The Monter, would simply "catch" the other ships which were not intended to lift off again anyways.

This would create massive savings on landing gears, fuel and re-entry engines or balancing mechanisms.



Long Description:


The Trummer is an amalgamation of multiple colony ships welded, screwed and attached into each other creating a perfectly suitable colony station.

Initially "The Trummer" was a colonization attempt consisting of 3 colony ship and 5 escort ships, carrying colonists to a nearby planet where they were to setup farms, mining factories and hospitals, this effort was quite ambitious and a lot was invested into it.


However an asteroid debris found its way past the scanning arrays of the Colony ships and rammed directly into the Third Colony Ship, Hof.

The ship equipped with farm animals, equippment and seeds required to set-up proper agriculture, this way the whole mission was in jeopardy and the lives of thousands of colonists were at stake.

With quick thinking, the captain of an accompanying ship,"Monter", sprung into action and used the docking ports on his ship to encapsulate the hole created by the debris and effectivelly creating a "tunnel" between the two ships. This critical thinking saved countless lives and allowed the crew of The Monter to work on repairing The Hof. Unfortunately the repairs would have taken much much longer than initially expected and other colony ships could not afford to "hang around", thus after a heated debate between the ships captains, Sol and crewmembers, they came to a consensus.

The Monter and Hof were to be permanently fused, along with the other colony ship, The Aptekar, and one of the escort ships, The Ochranar.

Nowadays "The Trummer" is a fully functioning colony, focusing on expeditions aimed at landing on asteroids or using their magnetic tractor beam if they're high on metal contents.


The station colony itself isn't overtly rich, but their income and outcome balance each other and the populance lives a somewhat comfortable life.

But their times of unity have long passes, while the unification of ships has been an architectural success as only minor issues have appeared since, speaking culturally it is much different.

Many living on this colony blame the original ship, Hof, for their current disposition and thus it has become a frequency to blame "Those From Hof" for anything even remotely bad, no matter how un-involved it is. This is demonstrated mainly by the people coming from the Aptekar and Ochranar ships, while the crew of Monter often takes side with the Hof as it was them who first started this.

Thus gang wars are a very common occurance and riots happen on almost monthly basis.


A few attacks by pirates have been registered but the way the ships are constructed together tends to leave the pirates confused on where to actually shoot or board, thus the station is relatively safe from pirates even with the weak strenght of the outer colonies.

 

If you're pointing out my grammatical mistakes, ur gay
