Mission Year 2100, aboard U.N star ship "Unity"

Finally everyone had made it into the room that held the supplies to found a new nation on the foreign planet. Packed into small, slightly controllable pods if worst came to worst with thrusters on the back to ensure the surface was hit, otherwise you would be floating in the abyss of space, assuming gravity was weak. No chances had been taken. Seven people standing in front of seven escape pods. People could be heard shouting things like "Business is the future, join me!" or "It is our right to bear arms, let us carve a new nation and exercise our rights!" were heard. It did not take long for most people to choose what sounded good in general, as there wasn't exactly a lot of time to think about it. Almost as soon as the last pods hatch closed, it seemed in perfect sync all seven pods shot out from the metallic hull of the sleek and thin star ship "Unity". The time for humans to touch solid ground had come once more. Earth was dead, long live Chiron.

The ideologies were set up fairly simply: Santiago led a nation that was armed to the teeth and planned to take what it wanted if it didn't like you, Morgan led a nation of greed, money was the goal. The Peacekeepers, led by Lal were simply following what the U.N said to do. Not much there. Gaians wanted to keep Chiron relatively intact after humans settled. The Believers wanted to worship the Lord in their new nation. The Hive was little more than a social experiment, involving mind control. The University never landed. Not in the way Zakharov had thought they would.

Inside the University colony pod, almost as soon as they had taken off a group amounting to about 9,000 of the 10,000 people inside the pod were starting a brawl. The ship was taken over quickly, bodies flying from left to right hitting the side of the ship, leaving Zakharov, although bruised and scratched, on the floor in a heap in the ship. Suddenly a man stood up at the front of the ship. "My name is Svensgaard, and if you don't already follow me then you are going to before we hit planet. The alternative is to be thrown outside our landing site with nothing but a re-breather. If you don't run then, you'll be shot." A look of horror passed over like dominoes falling from the front of the pod, to the back. A speaker on the ceiling let everyone hear, even over 10,000 people shuffling and breathing. Otherwise you were grinning, this was no longer the University. Now they dubbed themselves the Pirates, or more formally the "Nautilus Pirates". And within moments Planetfall would come.

The Hive landed in the Garland Crater. Gaians in the Monsoon Jungle, Believers on the Sunny Mesa, Morganites on the Great Dunes, Spartans just south of the Ruins, Peacekeepers on the coast of Freshwater Sea and finally the Pirates in the ocean right off the coast of the Isle of Dexamenus.
