[[PIERCING THROUGH HEAVEN]]

"HOLY FUCKING SHIT! I ACTUALLY DID IT! I'M IN SPACE! SUCK THAT, CORPOS!"

What do I say about this? He's... yeah, he's just M4 Carbine but a human. Yes, I included the entire AR Team, but they received the same humanization treatment. He was involved in Operation Brass Eaters, but remains mostly quiet about the whole ordeal, if he remembers it. After being honorably discharged, he went into college, where he discovered the Space Engineer program, which he joined because he was that bored. He was qualified, and as such, became a Space Engineer and was placed in a random solar system. FTL exists, go ham.

[Points of Interest]

• Gaia: Earthlike in almost every way, except it lacks animal life, save for wolves and livestock, which had been sent to Gaia to see how life would evolve. The animals have not changed much, save for slightly less dense bone mass because Gaia's gravity is slightly less stronger than Earth's. Water comes mostly in giant lakes, seas, and underground ice, for whatever reason.

• Minmux: One of Gaia's moons, the moon is actually a two for one deal. The larger mass, creatively named Maxmas, is rich in rare earth materials, while the smaller one, Minmas, has lots of ice.

• Duna: Red soil, kind of a desert. It has an atmosphere that's semi-breathable, but a filter is recommended to keep the alkalines out of your lungs. It can be terraformed into another Earthlike world, except for the fact that it is simply too expensive, and Pioneers aren't Planet Crafters.

• Atrox: Probably the worst place to even start at. The air is mostly nitrogen, and the planet is colder than how my ex treats me. There is little to no sunlight, the wind is very strong, and the terrain can be uneven. However, it has liquid hydrogen hiding in underground reservoirs like oil. The plentiful nitrogen can also be used for blast smelting.

• Asteroid Belt: The most resource-rich environment, with uranium and carbon-based asteroids littering the belt, not to mention the rare earth metals and other standard metals. It still poses a hazard, of course, due to the frequency of asteroids, with one part being informally labeled the Squeeze Zone due to how densely the asteroids can clump together.

• Glacis: The coldest planet in the solar system, winds can easily reach up to three hundred miles per hour, and the wind speed can stay that way for up to months. Solar panels are covered by the snow too often, and wind turbines are at constant risk of being ripped off while also possibly getting frozen. Nuclear reactors or RTGs are preferred due to their ability to provide some heat and having little to no requirement for maintenance. Platinum, gold, and silver are found in abundance close to the planet's upper mantle.

Heavily inspired by the game Space Engineers, and maybe a bit of Astroneer and KSP. I love space exploration games so much, they're so peak.

I borrowed a few things from our lovely uncle, MSB, in terms of setting.
