Hathor Landing art by Filip Dudek Hathor Originally called P237123, Hathor was claimed and surveyed in 2251AD by the Interstellar Science and Exploration Corporation (ISEC). Early analysis of the planet determined that the world was teaming with metal and mineral resources, had a similar gravity to Earth, and held an oxygen rich atmosphere that would be suitable for affordable terraforming. In 2260AD ISEC put P237123 up for bidding and FerrumSky acquired ownership. Newly named as Hathor, FeSky hired Terra Artisans to make it more suitable for colonization. In 2285AD, FerrumSky built its first micro-dome settlement, Hathor Landing, and hired on numerous corporations to provide necessary services they were not set up to provide themselves. Within months Hathor Landing was bustling with activity as first wave colonists were brought in by FerrumSky, AgriCorp, Silica Shield, Armed Security, and others. The first iron ore was mined, and refining and manufacturing were set up. The f...

Image of Mars gratuitously stolen to represent Hathor. Thanks NASA. Its been almost two weeks since my last post. Things are steadily moving here, but all of it is behind the scenes. Sometime this week I should receive the first 2 prototype models. Tim Barry has also been commissioned to do 3 more sculpts. Also, a lot of writing is being done for the rule book and Deep Underground scenario book. Here is a snippet from that. -Nick      Originally called P234123, Hathor was claimed and surveyed in 2251AD by the Interstellar Science and Exploration Corporation (ISEC).

Micha Donnelly by Geng Gendall Micha Donnelly      Working in the fields for AgriCorp was a hard life, but the opportunity to live among growing plants and in the relative open suited Micha Donnelly. Over the months she found a love for the work, for the field hounds used to control vermin and for one of her fellow tracted workers. Life was hard but the small pleasures and joys made it a tolerable one.      Then came a day that would end that life. A Prod named Campbell provoked one of the hounds and was bitten. In a rage he began to mercilessly kick the animal. Micha was nearby and a violent rage overcame her. She began beating Campbell with her hoe. He was knocked to the ground and badly injured as she laid into him. The other prods surrounded Micha and beat her into submission with shock batons. She was put in the box, but the dog had escaped to the care of the kennel masters.      Not caring if she was a good worker or not, AgriCo...

Marius Bickler concept art by Geng Gendall. Bickler was once a Prod himself, watching over the Tracted in the agri-domes. He ignored his officer training and befriended some of the workers. Over time he started to recognize the dehumanizing manner in which they were treated and that he was responsible for it as well. One day, one of the workers he joked with fell from exhaustion and another Prod beat them to force them back up. Marius intervened. A fight ensued and he seriously injured the other Prod. He was cited with everything from damaging company property to inciting a riot. AgriCorp sold his contract to FerrumSky where he has been working hard and keeping mostly to himself. The other miner's perception of Bickler ranges from open distrust to silent admiration. Bickler carries his past transgressions against workin' folk with deep regret, and like the others on Kollis' crew, he yearns to be free. Bickler (Former Prod) Core: Actions: 3 Move:  3 Wounds: 3 Combat...
