The first of our colony ships, the Space Ship Damasucks sets out on its maiden voyage, the mission to esablish a permanent colony on asteroid LD-VD-101, now named "Teros". The voyage will be long, almost 4 years, and the passengers and crew will be pushed to thier limits and so will the food supplies. Hopefully the hydropnic farm will get up and running soon, and then it can be transferred to the colony and provide for them there. All of those on board will stay on the colony for 3 months to help build the colony, then 5 crew and any sick or injured persons will be sent back. 2 CF-17 Wraith fighters and 4 SC-38 (small) shuttles will be left behind. The Damasucks will carry with it the inital load of materials that needs to be excavated in order to install the dome for our colony. A space tug vessel is being designed and it wil be sent with the next colony ship flight. The damasucks will meet up with the 2nd colony ship and crew transfer may be possible ( if someone got better and wants to go back to the asteriod or if someone wants to go home they can switch craft.)
A schematic of the colony ships and space tug will be made public soon.
