Authors note I do not own Rimworld just the world of this story otherwise i would be to busy to write this
"And the winner of the 200th omega qadrent lottery is… Isla Mathie!" The girl in question sank to her knees crying as the little radio in the back of the bar where she worked announced that she she was the winner of the biggest lottery in the second biggest empire the first year she been able to enter, as all members of the empire were required to do when they were 16 to keep census. No more would she be kicked around. No more would she have to do dangerous jobs for little pay because she was underage. She could do whatever she wanted, tell anybody whatever she wanted, she could even rule a planet. On the way to the lottery office that last thought gave her pause. Sure she couldn't buy an established planet like the one she was on and she certainly couldn't buy one of those glitter worlds, but they were planets on the edge of space near the edges of established planets rimworld and those were up for fair game. Those she could do whatever she wanted to she could rule that planet so with the silver from her lottery winnings in hand she went over to planetary affairs wondering how easy was to buy a planet. The answer surprisingly easy all he did was ask coordinates she put the numbers for her lottery ticket and again surprising there was an rimworld just sitting there waiting to be bought it technically was in a different Empire space but that didn't matter much since neither empire had claiming territory so she bought it. Then in a show of good sense she bought all the stuff to make a colony before she set up transport for her and all her stuff. The guy said it would take an hour to set up everything and so she decided since this was her the last time she was going to be on an established planet but she would go shopping.
Another hour later she had cleared out her apartment she didn't really have much stuff just things for her dogs everything else was cheap and falling apart. walking by the pet store that she loved she saw that they were foxes for sale they were her favorite animal so she bought two. She then bought a lot of books knowing that you would need more knowledge to survive even though she put her third fantasy novel in there. Deciding to buy a decent bed since she's never had one before and say she was going to be an emperor at least a queen that was the next place she went. Then finally in another rare bit of good sense isla bought a decent gun even though the world was supposed to be uninhabited there were going to be animals that could be dangerous. That is what all she took as well as all the rest of the stuff for a colony according to the planetary Affairs guy with her on the ship that was going to take her to her new planet which instead of the numbers 561743 it would now be called Hopes Promise. Isla stifled yawn it had been a really long day the kind of day where you're just bone-tired the only way to get around the system was to go to sleep in a cryo pod she hoped she would make it there in one piece as she drifted off to sleep to be woken up when she was at her planet.
