SteamEarth starts its own stargate program.

In the foothills which make up the northern part of the southern wastes, in some ruins a large round object which is believed to be a stargate was discovered. The Imperial War Office took ownership of this device and had it shipped to the northern part of the country to an unkown location.

Despite the failure of our SteamWarp Project (both test runs and sale of) we are fairly sure that is will be a success. As it just so happens the government of SteamEarth is considering relocating to another planet and since it has no space technology the discovery of the stargate is a welcomed bonus.

By luck the first planet we visited is able to support life and theres nobody there. Furthur visits have showed that there is an extensive coalfield on the planet which should support the nation's steam engine for quite some time.

A vast relocation program has started and the reconstruction of our cities on this new planet is well under way. Serlin our capital will be our largest city and it will be where the combined space port/airfield and stargate terminal will be located. Our cities will retain their Victorian look and style and we will keep our current steamtechish technology.

We are now looking forwards to visiting the two moons, Ares a red desert Mars like planet and Skaro a swamp covered planet.

Ares

Ares is a red desert like planet, very much like Mars. The planet is mostly barren wasteland thou the soil is quite fertile.

It has been reported that a very small number of ruins are scattered throughout the plains that form the lower half of the northern hemisphare.

Skaro

Skaro is a planet totally covered by swamps which are able to support life, even our Swamp Dragons seemed to thrive on this world.
