Entry in SFC pilot Kraslosko Vyokis' diary, after discovering that the imitation leather upholstery of his JSI Bearhugger is not, in fact, edible.
Things are heating up on Fulvus, the forth planet in the Kogan system and the host of the MMMCDLV Olympic Games. Athletes from the Deltan Federation, Star Fold Confederacy, and Centaurus are anxious to take home the gold and prove their scion’s status as the best of the galaxy. In addition to the omnipresent political element, the planet Fulvus itself contributes to the “venomous atmosphere”.
Sui Stadium, the main venue of the games, floats miles above the Fulvian surface, suspended by the oxygen in the structure. This is possible because Fulvus’s atmosphere is so dense that the usual mix of nitrogen and oxygen is a lifting gas. Most Fulvians have never actually seen the surface, always shrouded in clouds of sulfur.
Pop was a small SFC colony a light-year off of the Nerway transit route. While the route itself was heavily used by freighters supplying the ore mines of Gan IV, few were the ships that stopped at Pop. The colony was situated on Pop III, on a lush green island in the humid tropics. Originally founded centuries ago as a service stop for explorers, the colony had expanded quickly for a while. But then civilization had caught up with it, and its significance sank drastically. Many of the inhabitants moved on to other frontiers, leaving only those behind that had come to call Pop III their home.
Vic finished the book signing with an official digital seal from his publisher that guaranteed that this copy was in fact signed by his hand. His smile’s famous smugness jacked up another notch as he handed the digital reader back to the red-faced girl with the pink top and pink eye-liner. “Keep dreaming, darling,” he purred, with a voice like extra virgin olive oil. He was proud of that one. He wondered if, uh, Shannon would ever notice the double entendre. Probably not until she regained the ability to form a coherent sentence, at least. “See you later, baby.”
Venomous Atmosphere: Early this year the as you may remember you could hardly turn on your comm channel with out hearing reports, visualizations, story's and economic reports; situated around a planet in the QP-0493-039-G system and the forth of its six planets. The planets seemingly over abundance in raw resources and Location between the Deltan Federation and Star Fold Confederacy ensured that it would be of great importance in the future. However as you are now aware things did not go smoothly for the Federation who ought bought the local miners guild to take full colonization and political rights to the system. four with in five years of heavy deep crust mining a large pocket of chloride gas taped beneath the crust for eons was released. thousands where killed only the ones indoors at the time or in the pressurized dome city's of the less than hospitable temperate and polar regions survived. Now after the accident extracting the materials have proved to be much more tedious and is now proving to be a strain on resources for the core worlds. and talks of selling the planet to a independent contractual company is on the table. what ever does happen to this system we will keep you up to date on the situation as quickly as we confirm the facts.
