v5 v6 5 5 6 6 == History == 7 The universe of Orxonox developed from our present. As this is most certainly not the future our ancestors will face, we want to draw a believable future world, which is not so optimistic, but very exciting. In this segment, we explain the development of the universe in form of examples and time lines so the developer has an idea how things have to look like. The history is also important to answer some "why?" questions and to manifest the background story of Orxonox to create a better atmosphere in the actual game. The player will not have access to the history just like this. He maybe have the possibility to access some history records, but besides that he will face a world which knows what happened to it in the last few years. Nobody will talk to the player about the past, because they assume the character he plays knows the same they do.7 The universe of Orxonox developed from our present.

They have huge knowledge about the universe, but they are also arrogant and overconfident. They like to trick other species into trusting them to screw them over. They are not too aggressive but have the technology to vaporize half of the Earth in an instance. They are very careful to seem powerful to other races to intimidate them.18 An ancient alien race. They have huge knowledge about the universe, but they are also arrogant and overconfident. They like to trick other species into trusting them to screw them over. They are not openly aggressive but have the technology to vaporize half of the Earth in an instance. They are very careful to seem powerful to other races to intimidate them and not show any weaknesses. 19 19 20 20 They're technology is beyond human understanding and members of the Asheroc have overcome the deadly traps of biological bodies. They evolved into a phase of energy and spirit and are detached from the world of matter. … … 35 35 36 36 === Mars === 37 Mars has been colonized early, but the terraforming progressed slowly, so the atmosphere is still rather thin and only small plants grow in the red sand. Besides insects, there are no animals on Mars. Every major country from Earth has a colony on Mars. Some colonies however want to become independent, which led to fights and even wars between Earth and Mars forces or civil wars.37 Mars has been colonized early, but the terraforming progressed slowly, so the atmosphere is still rather thin and only small plants grow on the red sand.

Some colonies however are or want to become independent, which led to fights and even wars between Earth and Mars forces or civil wars. 38 38 On Mars many buildings are empty or have not been finished. Those buildings are from the days where there was enough money to colonize Mars. The sudden downturn of the economy stopped construction works completely. 39 40 Because of the lower gravity on Mars all plants and animals and also of course humans are taller than their equivalent on Earth. Plants can grow in structures that are usually not possible, because they need less materials to support their weight. Also houses and other constructions of the humans on Mars follow the same principles, meaning that they can use weaker materials to support heavier constructions. 39 41 40 42 === Asteroid Belt === … … 42 44 43 45 === Jupiter === 44 Jupiter is the energy source of the humans. With special ships the large energy companies gather hydrogen from Jupiter's surface. There are many space stations a round Jupiter and there are also some stations on the larger moons of Jupiter. The life around Jupiter is dominated by money and the will of the large companies. Government has not much influence in this area. Pirates are most common in this area and are also hired as mercenaries against other companies or government.46 Jupiter is the energy source of the humans.
