Polar Life

The following are excerpts from a variety of Chinese history texts, translated and leaked.

=The Voyage= With local population still a concern, and news that there was in fact a landing on Rukast, the decision was made to send a colonial fleet to the planet and land on it. The methods used were similar to the first ship that was sent. Fast ships and stifled metabolisms. It was concluded an internally unified population would work better than the varied cultures that went on the first ship.

The trip went well, only two ships of the fleet failed. During deceleration was when a series of missiles were launched at several of the first ships to arrive. The inability to maneuver caused great losses of life for the colonial fleet. It was after these attacks the upper atmospheric bombers were sent in an effort to prevent more missiles from launching and the loss of life. While the pilots performed valiantly, the colonial fleet could only land upon the arctic region of the planet, which had been unsettled.

=Early Years= Colonization was a difficult task, as was salvaging the ships that had landed to create habitable living space. This was in addition to continued invasion by those already on the planet. Their inferior weapons were not a match for the Chinese armaments supplied.

=Today= The dome project succeeded, and more are being built as settlements venture from the pole. Superior defense technology has allowed the Chinese population to prosper in peace, not needing to fear attacks by enemies on the planet. In addition, population limits from Earth and the early years have since been lifted, and it is with great pride many couples have children that may contribute to the success of our great colony today.
