DARK EARTH
What's that signal? One of the engineers working on NASA’s intelligent life tracking program asked.
So began the story that changed the future of our species at the end of the 22nd century. It was soon proved that the signal could not be of natural origin, and that it had come from the Virgo constellation.
A small chance to live in peace.
A little chance to start over.
LEIRA
Day 365 since our arrival: summary of the information acquired about the planet Leira.
The planet Leira seemed to be the opportunity we humans had been looking for. Its composition, atmosphere, flora and fauna are incredibly similar to those found on Earth. The main difference between the planets is that Leira does not rotate on its axis, so it always keeps the same side illuminated by the sun and a side in constant darkness.
However, Leira is an inhabited planet. The Leirans are divided into four factions immersed in an ongoing civil war for survival, having been invaded, plundered and decimated by a superior alien civilization, the Valthians.
Cosmium
Leira’s greatest treasure is called Cosmium.
Cosmium is a radioactive mineral that, with the right treatments, can be isolated and so generate small radioactive pyramids that provide enormous amounts of energy, and moreover, have a highly flexible and resistant material with which to build all kinds of technology. This mineral is what has allowed the emergence of technologically developed civilizations in Leira, thanks to the extraordinary amount of energy it can release.
Factions
Name given by the Leirans to the human colonial force settled in Leira.
A faction composed of approximately 10.000 humans, half of them settlers and civilians protected by a force of elite soldiers, the MarineXpeditionaires (MXCorp). After a 1-year journey through, their ship crashed into the planet suffering severe damage. They then had to establish a permanent colony with no possibility of communication with Earth.
Young Leirans addicted to the technology that Cosmium has provided.
These Leirans, who are more like droids because of the number of cybernetic implants they use on their bodies, live in settlements located in the ruins of cities in the eastern and western parts of the illuminated continent. Their main goal is to stockpile Cosmium to continue to develop their technological advancements and create a great cyber combat force that will allow them to defend themselves and crush anyone who tries to stop them achieving their ultimate goal: to develop a fully hybrid digital and physical Leiran society.
A paramilitary faction whose origins can be traced back to the survivors of the various military forces of Leira after the invasion of Valtia.
They live in the jungle area of the planet, where besides shelter they found an underground network under the great central volcano. Their aim is to conquer and indoctrinate the other factions by armed means to secure strong defence lines against another possible Valtian invasion. The Gladios excel at training in combat tactics all Leirans who join their forces.
The survivors of Leira’s wealthiest families.
They are a highly classist faction and masters of commerce who live in defensive settlements built on the rubble of the large cities of northern Leira. They hire mercenaries for extra support. They do not usually attack other factions, but if they are attacked they use all the resources at their disposal to repel the attack by causing as much damage as possible.
Slaves of the ancient Leirans who saw in the Valtia invasion the opportunity to be free and to get revenge.
Feline-looking plunderers whose sole aim is to enslave the inhabitants of the settlements they attack, taking all their resources. Their nomadic settlements are located in the central desert of Leira and although their weapons are rather rudimentary, they are backed by enormous, aggressive beasts called Banthrys.
