Nucladian Equator Region The story begins.... Admiral mikisii Britezi forms a plan: After seven decades and 3 years, the Nucladians had finally finished their long journey, in search of a new world. Mikisii had not yet been born then and lucky he was, to even be born. On a floating city of limited room and sustainment of life. Very few children were even permitted to be, birthed at all! The planet they had spotted, in this remote, un-charted galaxy, was harsh indeed; nothing but water and very little forgiving land. The Admiral knew this equatorial region, they had ditched themselves into, was a lucky break and could have been disasterous, with so little available or level landing sites. Admr. Mikisii and his advisors began to formulate a plan. The Nucladians were very adept tunnelers back on mother Nacla. Nacla was a beautiful planet before It's sun began to die. Although Nacla was very mountainous, there was plenty of prime land around and caves networked the whole planet. The precious ore veined thick through out her belly. Thus, over the centuries of time, the Nucladains became quite advanced at mining. Boring through the hardest of rock, was like slicing a cake to these folk. The plan was discussed and democratically voted on. The selected plan was to; terraform and "terrace-form" at the same time! This small civilization of 100,000 folk, would step the mountainous and rugged terrain of their new planet! So, they named their new home, "Nucladius" after themselves. Even in times of turmoil; Nucladians are known to be a proud race. chptr 2. The Others The citzens came up with 100's of names. All great suggestions for a proud, Nucladian city. Terracai City was the name that won out. It made great sense to name it so; as terraced farming would be one, but not the only, source of industry. So they began to carve at the hard stone island. As they did, they also carved a path, to their new future. The hearty community began to thrive and as they leveled and terraced, pooring ever more rubble into the vast ocean; the years past by and by..... But what of the other Arco? it had also carried 100,000 Nucladians. Admiral Alisiis' Shipcity2, had been lost among the asteroids, back when their peril all started, Admr Mikisii had more important matters to deal with, at the time. After the narrow escape from the asteroids; finding this planet mattered most, but communication with Arcocity2 was never established again. Were they lost? destroyed and obliterated by the torrential onslaught, of endless rocks? The citizens of Nucladia and Terracai City, could only wonder at the fate of the other ship. Had it made it unscathed? Maybe they even found a beautiful new plane to resemble mother Nacla!?....hope.... To be Continued..... Revampt the beginning, but added some more. Many many thanks, to all who have encouraged me with so many great comments! Peace out all.
