OVERVIEW
Ross 128 b, also known as Dyson Terra, is a strategic economic star system under the United LunaTerra protectorate. Named in honor of Marie Dyson, the daughter of Mark Cooper, inventor of the AdS drive, Dyson Terra commemorates the first brave colonists who departed during the genesis era of colonization. Marie Dyson led the United Nations' efforts to colonize the stellar neighborhood, recognizing the potential of Ross 128's single promising planet with its two moons: the ringed, arid moon Pax Astralis and the asteroid moon Ad Astra, with its thin atmosphere.
Dyson Terra's capital city boasts robust high-tech services and apartments offering the highest living standards in the stellar neighborhood. The primary focus on technological advancement has, however, left Ross 128 heavily reliant on the United LunaTerran fleet from Sol for security.
The planet's very thick atmosphere creates a greenhouse effect, warming it to a typically suitable -6 degrees Celsius. This thick atmosphere also allows the star Ross 128 to be seen in full surface detail during morning and sunset.
The assassination of Governor Abraham Witron triggered a chain reaction, giving Mars the excuse it needed to invade Barnard's Star. This invasion was a bid to reclaim its colony and push the Settled Exoplanets Alliance (SEA) away from Sol borders.
CULTURE
Dyson Terra's roots trace back to Old Terra's Germanic cultures. The planet's capital city offers a vast array of technologies for both commercial and personal use, with widespread portable computer tablets being a notable product manufactured in Dyson City.
The people of Dyson Terra are known for their paradoxical nature: they are both the most vengeful and, at the same time, the kindest and wisest engineers, mechanics, and scientists in the region. Despite the mystery surrounding their vengefulness, their reputation for kindness and wisdom in their professions is well-known.
The government of the Virgo Autonomous Province follows democratic values, aligning closely with those of the United LunaTerra. This democratic ethos fosters a culture of innovation and progress, making Dyson Terra a beacon of technological advancement in the stellar neighborhood.
Economics: Perfect Competition
production of microchips, transistors, qubits, robotic parts, and Anti-De-Sitter hyperdrives. These technological advancements have cemented Dyson Terra's status as a hub of innovation and manufacturing excellence.
The ringed arid moon Pax Astralis features extensive networks of park domes designed for tourists. These domes include water ponds and imported animals from Earth, carefully managed for reproduction. The natural beauty and meticulously curated environments offer a serene escape for visitors.
The cuisine of Dyson Terra primarily consists of dried food and vegetation. The murder of animals for food is strictly forbidden, reflecting the planet's ethical stance on animal welfare and its commitment to sustainable living. This policy has led to the development of unique and innovative plant-based dishes that are both nutritious and flavorful, catering to the diverse palates of Dyson Terra's residents and visitors.
SPEECH TO HUMANITY
Forgotten Planet Novella: Page xx
The historical record known as the Speech to Humanity was a landmark address delivered by Harrison Wells in the auditorium of the University of Vibrating Strings on Dyson Terra. This inspiring speech served as the prologue to the official announcement of the Distant Worlds Expedition
“So…”
The auditory projectors illuminating Wells as he stepped forward.
“Sol, our home, a cradle of light and life, sang its lullaby to us for millennia, providing our existence with all the ingredients necessary to thrive. Through courage and resilience, humanity has risen, generation after generation, pushing the limits of possibility. The greatest minds of our past dared to dream, to create, and to achieve what once seemed impossible, so that we—here and now—could step into the unknown.
We have stretched the boundaries of our technology, tested the edges of our science. But in our pursuit of greatness, we have also borne witness to the cost. We have tasted the bitterness of a dying home, watched as our Mother Earth has grown frail under the weight of our progress. Yet, no mother would wish for her children to perish with her.
Today, with the courage of all humanity, courage our Mother would have wanted us to carry, we take the first steps toward our future. This is not a retreat but a new beginning. It is with immeasurable honor that I stand here to announce the Distant Worlds Expedition.
This is more than a voyage. It is a statement, a testament to our species’ unyielding resolve. Today, we take one small step into the vast void of the galaxy, but it is a giant leap into the eternal story of humanity. Together, we, the United Scientific Assembly, have achieved what no nation, no ideology, could ever accomplish: unity.
And now, with the dreams of generations upon our shoulders, we look to the stars. Four great megaships and the CRS Graviton will be our vessels—the epilogue of Earth, but the prologue of what we will become.
Out there, in the infinite expanse, the greatest discovery of all awaits us. It is our destiny as a species to push beyond, to reach the stars together. Mark Cooper, the father of interstellar travel, gave us the keys to open the doors of the cosmos. It is now up to us to walk through them—together, unified, unstoppable.
The stars call to us. The void beckons. Humanity answers.”
NOTABLE LOCATIONS
The University of Vibrating Strings at Dyson Terra is at the forefront of groundbreaking research and experimentation. One of its pioneering endeavors involves the manipulation of Spin 2 Graviton fields to control gravity itself. Researchers and physicists at the university are engaged in ambitious experiments aimed at harnessing this technology for practical applications.
Another notable area of research at the university is the synthesis of a comprehensive Mendeleyev Tablet of Antimatter. This endeavor represents a significant leap in understanding and utilizing antimatter in various scientific and technological fields.
Professor Harrison Wells delivered a compelling speech at the University of Vibrating Strings, focusing on his research into the application of Angelic Metal of Archangels in human technologies. He captivated the audience with his insights into how this extraordinary material could revolutionize various technological fields of Humanity. During his speech, Professor Wells also made a significant announcement regarding the Expedition to the "Forgotten Planet." He elaborated on its implications, describing it as a treasure trove of galactic knowledge akin to the wisdom of ancient gods. This revelation sparked immense interest and speculation among the academic community and beyond.
