Hi guys, just wrote down a piece of lore in bullet points.
This is by far not finished
PRE-COLLAPSE
- Due to low significance of interest Domain Authorities open up colonization rights of the
Orni system in the new starsecstor for competitive bidding. Among the bidders is Thulium
Resources, which made its fortune in mining, energy and industrial refinement. Allegetions
of vote fixing and bribery arise due to a large credit from the Tri Tachyon Corporation to
Thulium Resources, but nothing is proven. - Orni III is rich with resources but owns an eytremly poor ecosystem. A space station is
set up to manage mining operations on the surface meanwhile seeding the planet with
automated terraform generators and refineries. - Several years later, the company declares bankruptcy. Ludwig Stern and his sons, the
heads of Bulwark Industries buying significant interest in Thulium Resources as a defense
against Tri Tachyon Coporation's hostile bid for the enterprise. To everyones surprise the
acting board is not replaced and Thulium Resources remains almost independent as a
subsidiary company.
PANDORA EVENT
- Bulwark Industries establishes several research facilities an the surface of Orni III. One
year later the company suddenly relocates its corporate Headqquarters to the Orni system - Under the surface of the planet a von Neumann-style structure is found. The origin of
the structure is unkown and considered alien. The first estimates of the dimensions of the
structure vary from a couple of meters to kilometers. - The discovery is kept secret and a systemwide do-not-enter policy is established,
making the system virtualy a martial law area. - On Ludwig Sterns urging the structure is explored further and it turns out that the
structure is far more bigger then incipiently asumed and furtunatly in a state of slumber
but considered to be able to be reactivated.
Months later it is clear the structure spans the whole bowels of the planet.
