Armstrong System
in Inner ColoniesPlanets
1. Armstrong 1, also known as Armstrong Prime, is the first planet in the Armstrong System. It was initially explored by the United Space Command shortly after the First Energy War ended in 2124, but it wasn't until 2146 that the United Nations Federation established a permanent settlement on the planet. Armstrong 1 was primarily used for mining and agriculture, with its rich mineral deposits and fertile soil making it an ideal location for these industries. The UNF established multiple mining outposts and agricultural settlements across the planet, making it a hub for resource extraction and food production for the Inner Colony systems. However, Armstrong 1 has become a major staging base for terror attacks by the Arabic Republic. The UNF's control over the planet has weakened due to constant terror threats and attacks from the AR. This has led to a decline in operations on Armstrong 1, causing significant economic strain on the inhabitants of the planet. The AR sees Armstrong 1 as a critical target because of its importance in supplying resources to the Inner Colonies. By disrupting production on the planet, they hope to weaken the UNF’s economy. Despite increased security measures put in place by USC forces, terrorist attacks continue to occur on Armstrong 1, resulting in widespread evacuations of the civilian population.
2. Armstrong II is the second planet in the Armstrong System. It was discovered by Vice Admiral Howard Armstrong in 2148. With its lush green landscape and abundant natural resources, it was quickly designated as a prime location for colonization by the United Nations Federation. Like its sister planet Armstrong 1, Armstrong 2 is used for mining or resource extraction, and has become a hub for agriculture and culture within the UNF's territory. However, Armstrong II has become a major battleground in the ongoing Planetary War on Terror. Several major attacks have been launched on the planet, causing widespread damage and displacement of civilians. The UNF has responded by increasing USC military presence on Armstrong II, turning it into a center of operations. Cities have been reinforced with defensive structures and residents are required to undergo frequent security checks. Despite these measures, terrorist attacks from the AR continue to occur sporadically, causing constant fear and unrest among the population. The conflict on Armstrong II has severely impacted both agriculture production and cultural activities. Many farms have been destroyed or abandoned due to attacks, leading to food shortages for both residents and neighboring colonies that rely on Armstrong's exports.
3. Tania, also known as Armstrong III, is the third planet in the Armstrong system and known for its stunning natural beauty and luxurious vacation spots. The UNF has designated Tania as a prime location for tourism, attracting affluent citizens from all over human-controlled space. Tania’s ambience is indescribable, with diverse terrains ranging from white sand beaches to snow-capped mountains. It boasts of rich biodiversity, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Despite its reputation as a peaceful and idyllic getaway, Tania has recently been hit by terror attacks from the Arabic Republic. These attacks have caused some tourists to shy away from the planet's wonders, but it remains a popular vacation spot for many. The UNF has increased security measures on Tania, especially in tourist areas, to ensure the safety of both locals and visitors. Patrols are conducted regularly and background checks are required for anyone entering the planet. Despite these precautions, some incidents still occur, causing fear among tourists. However, the UNF continues to promote Tania as a safe and beautiful destination, hoping to maintain its status as a top vacation spot in the Inner Colonies.
4. Beki Corda, also known as Armstrong IV, is the fourth and last planet in the Armstrong system and boasts a diverse population of civilians from various backgrounds. However, despite its peaceful inhabitants, Beki Corda is heavily militarized and constantly on high alert due to the ongoing Planetary War on Terror. The Arabic Republic has claimed responsibility for numerous attacks on Beki Corda, causing significant damage and casualties. As a result, the USC has fortified the planet with defensive systems and stationed a large military presence to protect its civilians. Despite these security measures, there have been several close calls where terrorists have breached the defenses. The fear of potential attacks looms over Beki Corda's residents, making daily life stressful and unpredictable. However, one of the unique features of Beki Corda is its scattered ruins that are believed to be remnants of an ancient alien civilization. These ruins have attracted xenoarchaeology experts from all over human-controlled space, seeking to uncover their secrets and history. However, access to these sites is heavily restricted by the USC’s Office of Space Intelligence.
