PLANETARY DETAILS:
Gan Singh was settled during the late 22nd century. Many people from
Southeast Asia migrated to Gan Singh during one of the early waves of
migration from Terra. Gan Singh provides the bulk of Styk's resources,
including metals and food.
The planet's northern and southern seas contain four temperate continents of
rolling hills, and two large tropical continents are located near Gan
Singh's equator. Calcutta, Satara, Jaipur, and Jhansi are the four temperate
continents. Eighty percent of the population is located on these continents.
The capital city, Mughal, is on the eastern coast of Calcutta. The tropical
continents of Sambalpur and Nagpur generate most of the world's food.
Styk is a heavily industrialized world composed of nine continents. These
landmasses cover 22 percent of Styk's surface; saltwater oceans cover the
rest. Styk's continents were named after the original explorers who found
the planet. The largest continent is Burtnik, where the planetary capital,
Lorelei, is located. Just outside of Lorelei is Tao MechWorks and one of the
planet's largest military and commercial DropPorts.
The remaining continents of Deyoung, Shaw, Young, Curulewski, Gowan, Panozzo
North, Panozzo South, and Sucherman are heavily industrialized and each have
their own DropPorts. One well-kept secret is Styk's ocean liners. Styk has a
fleet of luxury liners that sail the vast oceans from port to port.
The Styk-Cunard White Star Line is currently constructing its new flagship,
the SMV Xiang An. It incorporates several secret designs, which need to be
protected at all costs.
The unit hired will escort a shipment of several thousand tons of tin,
copper and other metals from Gan Singh's Jaipur mines to the Line's
factories at Panozzo North. From there, it is expected to escort the
completed component to the docks where it will guard the vessel's
construction until the vessel is completed.
An eco-terrorist group calling themselves Green Sticks Now! have threatened
disruptive action against the construction of any new industries or large
projects, of which the Xiang An is part of. While there has been no direct
threat yet, the Cunard Line hopes the presence of a military unit will deter
the terrorists.
INTEL: Green Sticks Now! is
pretty much Greenpeace turned extreme. They want to see Styk to be more like
Tall Trees in the Saiph Triumvirate and a return to a cleaner Styx - and
they're willing to sabotage and generally cause mayhem to be heard.
