Sometimes these small colonies die, sometimes they struggle on, and sometimes they thrive. | Sometimes these small colonies die, sometimes they struggle on, and sometimes they thrive. | ||
- | ===== Struggling Colony | + | ===== Colonies |
+ | Deliberate settlements originally designed to colonise a world. They are no longer connected with their original home world, so are completely independent. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Struggling Colony ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Over a hundred years ago, a group of colonists set down on this world to start a new civilisation of their own. However, over the generations they have struggled to keep things going. Though they haven' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Population is likely in the thousands or tens of thousands. It hasn't reduced, but it also hasn't really been growing for a while. | ||
+ | |||
+ | TL is between 4 and 5, depending on how badly they are doing. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Failed Colony ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | A failed colony is on the verge of collapse, or has collapsed. It's population may have been in the tens of thousands, or even larger, but now is down to a few thousand. Settlements have been abandoned, technology has been lost, and structured government has descended into bickering tribes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | TL is 4, maybe even 3. There will be abandoned ruins, and most knowledge has been lost. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Thriving Colony ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | A large colony which was started centuries ago and is now a thriving civilisation of hundreds of thousands, spread out across the world. Mostly still rural, but with some urban population centres with limited industrial capacity. | ||
+ | |||
+ | TL will be at least 5, probably 6. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Fallen Civilisations ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | These are large scale civilisations which have collapsed. At one point they had populations in the hundreds of millions, but have since fallen. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Urban Scavengers ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Still a large population, but lots of in-fighting which makes cooperation impossible. People scavenge in the ruins, farming where they can and avoiding violent gangs. | ||
+ | |||
+ | TL is about 3-4. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Collapsed Civilisation ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Small populations living in the ruin of a much older, larger civilisation which has long since fallen. Individual population centres aren't big enough to support technology. | ||
+ | |||
+ | TL is 3. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Far Settlements ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Groups started by accident, or who just never planned to really colonise. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Family Farmsteads ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Small farmsteads, spread out across the world. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Nomad Bands ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Small bands what have never settled down. May have been from a crashed spacecraft. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Forgotten ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Ruins ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Just ruins, no sign of the people that built them. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Research Post ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Old research post that has been forgotten about. Only a few remain here. | ||
