|
Earthquakes
{PLANETNAME} is tectonically active, with regular earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. On the plus side, this is bringing a lot of valuable minerals up the surface, where it will be far easier to extract. On the downside, a lot of people are being killed by lava. Your engineers think they can stabilize the crust to stop the earthquakes, but the decision on whether to implement it hasn't been made yet. What are your orders?
Choice | Outcome |
---|---|
We can't risk the safety of our people. Stabilize the crust. |
|
Move people to the most secure structures. Then ramp up our mining efforts. |

Swamped
Upon landing on {PLANETNAME}, you quickly realize that it has been inhabited before. Beneath the northern ice, explorers have found a ruined starship with an active Leaching Field module which will reduce the shield strength of enemy ships in battle. Your colonists believe they can extract the module, but the resulting melt will flood much of the arable land on the planet; the climate change will kill most of the unique native species. What are your orders?
Choice | Outcome |
---|---|
Leave the ship buried. |
|
Set land aside for the native species. Leave the ship buried, but study its technology. |
|
There's too much life in the universe as it is and this module can help our military.

Choice | Outcome |
---|---|
Done |
|
Worms
The location of our colony on {PLANETNAME} is apparently the prime hunting grounds for a species of massive, building-sized worms. This is by far the most fertile land on the planet, so we don't want to move if we don't have to. But on the other hand, massive building sized worms. What are your orders?
Choice | Outcome |
---|---|
Protect the mega-fauna, it will be a surprise for invaders. |
|
The worms may have been here first, but we have bigger guns. Wipe them out. |
|
Two words: Worm Rodeo. |
|
Strange Fungus
A strange fungus on {PLANETNAME} has begun infecting our colonists with an illness that is immune to our medicine. Although our doctors can treat the symptoms easily enough, they have no hope of finding a cure, and the risk of contagion is high. With this disease afflicting us, our colony will never see its full growth potential. Some argue that we should cull the diseased to protect the rest of the colony. Others, notably the diseased, argue against this. What are your orders?
Choice | Outcome |
---|---|
Don't cull anyone. Even if we never find a cure, we won't become monsters.
Colonists Become Plagued |
|
Quarantine the people who have the disease and prevent them from reproducing. |
|
Cull them. Our descendants will thank us for having the courage to do this. |
|
High-G Animal Racing
Colonists on {PLANETNAME} have taken to breeding and racing a local species of squat, four-legged animals. The harsh gravity of the world makes the races particularly gruelling, and footage of injured animals has caused animal rights activists around the galaxy to demand this barbaric practice be stopped. But it's become a big part of the local culture, and the colonists won't be happy if we end the races. What are your orders?
Choice | Outcome |
---|---|
We must, of course, stop anything which even suggests cruelty to other forms of life. |
|
Export the footage across our civilization so everyone can enjoy the races. |
|
Promote the man behind this. Exploiting the weak is the foundation of our empire.
A Leader joins us |

Alien Cultural Trash
{PLANETNAME} was once the home of an alien civilization which disappeared a thousand years earlier. Although none of their technology is new, many of their entertainment products remain intact, and are of great interest to the colonists. Unfortunately almost all of these shows and programs are incredibly childish and puerile, featuring an unfortunate amount of jokes about orifices. The colony's workplaces are now filled with practical jokes that sap productivity. What are your orders?
Choice | Outcome |
---|---|
Leave them be. They're adults who can make their own decisions. |
|
Let's at least try distributing this trash on the open market. |
|
Ban the trash, then laughter for a time to teach everyone a lesson. |
|
Aggressive Natives
An aggressive species of sentient quadrupeds live in the forests and hills of {PLANETNAME}. They've resisted all attempts to communicate with them, and have relentlessly attacked your colony since you arrived. Although no actual threat to you militarily, they can harass and easily slaughter unguarded civilians. As is so often the case when the risk of slaughter is non-zero, morale amongst the colonists is low. What are your orders?
Choice | Outcome |
---|---|
Isolate the land these creatures live on. We can share this world. |
|
Toughen up. Colonists have to be ready to face risks. |
|
Capture these creatures for our invasions. |
|
Aggressive Natives
Our isolation of the native quadrupeds on {PLANETNAME} was unsuccessful. They somehow escaped confinement and attacked our colony. Those that survived will never forget the attack.
Choice | Outcome |
---|---|
Done
Citizens become Traumatized on this planet |
|
Haunted
{PLANETNAME} colonists report a variety of strange disturbances: Doors which open and close on their own, strange lights in the night; a mysterious hole in the ground which screams. Your scientists seem to think the colony might be haunted. "Building on the ruins of a previously failed colony may have been a bad idea," they say. "Also, underneath that colony was another failed colony. Which was built on a graveyard." What are your orders?
Choice | Outcome |
---|---|
Warn the colonists and move the colony somewhere less haunted. |
|
Fix the doors, fix the lights, and put some boards over the hole that screams.
Planet gains the Haunted trait |
|
It is superstition. Hide all evidence of supernatural activity.

Put in railings and let people use the drug recreationally. |
|
Make the drug illegal, but begin research efforts to find market uses for it. |
|
Content workers are hard workers. Give them more of the drug. |
|
Comet
A comet has reentered the solar system of {PLANETNAME} after a fifty year absence, throwing a primitive local species into a frenzy. They apparently worship this regularly returning visitor as a god. Your scientists report that this comet is at least partly artificial, a relic apparently left in the Oort cloud by an advanced species. There may be some salvage potential in it, provided of course that we're willing to kill a god to get it. What are your orders?
Choice | Outcome |
---|---|
Invite the religious to come to the planet and worship the god comet. |
|
Trap the comet in secret. Invite scientists to the planet to investigate what we find. |
|
Kill the god, take the eye, use it to encourage our military.

Thunderstorms
{PLANETNAME} suffers from heavy thunderstorm activity. This is affecting an ancient ruin, revealing it to be a powerful alien artifact capable of drawing and channeling the tremendous energy. Sometimes this energy is channeled into the bodies of anyone standing nearby, with predictably messy consequences. Studying these ruins could prove incredibly valuable, although also dangerous to anyone who has to do it. What are your orders?
Choice | Outcome |
---|---|
Leave the ruins alone, they are protecting the world from the storms. |
|
Invite scientists to the world to study the ruins, even if it might disrupt them.

Solar Flare
An increased period of solar activity has caused a species of previously dormant insects to suddenly begin swarming, greatly limiting activity on {PLANETNAME}. Your scientists have developed a sonic screen which can kill the insects, but believe there may also be a way to expand the technology to rid the world of the swarm forever. What effects that will have on the ecosystem are as yet unknown. What are your orders?
Choice | Outcome |
---|---|
If this technology kills en masse, then we won't use it. |
|
Abandon parts of the planet that the bugs inhabit. |
|
Murder all the bugs. |
|
Leftover Robots
{PLANETNAME} was once the home of a fairly advanced alien species that created some extremely long lasting sub-sentient AI systems. Something you've done has triggered these systems defensive protocols. Now anyone who ventures outside of the colony is at risk of attack from primitive robotic creatures. What are your orders?
Choice | Outcome |
---|---|
Thin out the robots around the colony and feel a little guilty about it. |
|
Some clever programming should make sure the robots serve us instead.

|
Make killing the robots a sport and invite others to play. |
|
Leftover Robots - Success
Our scientists have been able to take control of the planet's robots on {PLANETNAME}. After that, it is a simple matter to program them to perform subsurface drilling on the planet to reach mineral deposits that were out of the reach of our colonists. And, if we ever need it, we can switch them back to attack mode.
Choice | Outcome |
---|---|
Done |
|
Leftover Robots - Fail
Our attempt to hack into the robots on {PLANETNAME} fails. Instead it triggers the robots to go into an even more aggressive mode where they view us as their primary target. We are still able to maintain our colony on {PLANETNAME}, but if we are ever invaded the invaders will discover a robotic army eager to help them out.
Choice | Outcome |
---|---|
Done |
|
Swarm Like Fish
On {PLANETNAME} there is a species of fish which seems to possess a form of collective intelligence. The fish seem to become more intelligent the larger the group they're in. In the largest schools they can clearly communicate with us, and even seem to understand advanced concepts like space travel and where we're from. What are your orders?
Choice | Outcome |
---|---|
Accommodate the fish. This is their home; we will be gracious guests. |
|
Terraform the lakes to make them an ideal biome for the fish to grow.

---|---|
We have no right to endanger a species that has survived for centuries. |
|
Kill the shark and mount the skeleton in my throne room. |
|
Setup some island castaways and see what they do when the super shark arrives. |
|
Animals to Tame
The terrain of {PLANETNAME} has proven very challenging for our conventional ground vehicles. Some colonists have begun capturing and taming a local species of marsupial to use for hopping around between buildings and colonies. The animals are well suited for the work, and don't seem to be suffering, but there have been a few accidents. Animal rights activists across the galaxy are demanding the practice be banned. What are your orders?
Choice | Outcome |
---|---|
This is shockingly primitive. End the practice at once. |
|
Launch a campaign to convince your citizens the beasts are well treated. |
|
Not suffering? Then they aren't working hard enough. |
|
Collapsing Ice Bridge
Two continents of {PLANETNAME} are joined by a massive ice bridge, which is beginning to collapse. A large Snuggler Colony makes their home on this bridge and are in danger of dying within the next year if they're not relocated. The ice bridge is remote however, and this won't come cheaply. What are your orders?
Choice | Outcome |
---|---|

|
