Preatoria IIV

Nine months ago a proud country of 1 billion dedicated countrymen embarked on a quest. They where to launch a Colony ship utalising the latest technologies they could muster, from Low-density Rad resistence foil, to the prototype electrogravmic generators that where due to be tested large scale for the first time during the trip. The Ship would orbit Mars and return to earth In order to judge the long term effects of a space community, in prepeation for later technogogical advances.
A liberal country Preatoria Was centeralised around The Anceint Place grounds.An anti-violent country Preatoria had a small standing army, and a low crime rate and was well on the way to becoming an enlightened people, a truley united civilisation. They where unprepared for the events that would follow.
During the planning stages It was hypotised that there would be long periods of High interference Or even total communication blackout. And so when The Pegasus colony lost contact with Preatoria command on the evening of the first day of the fourth month nothing was thought of it, especialy since they where entering the radio shadow of Mars, there primary destination. Within Momments a metor shower which had been hidden from the colonys sensors by the red planet flashed into the side of the colony, Hundreds where vapourised in seconds, outhers where sucked into the cold vacuum of space. The ship had had several systems simply ripped from the ship Including the Ship's communication System, and auxillary fuel. This would severly hamper the ships progress. After a long debate the Commander of the Pegasus ordered that the ship begin return to Earth.

Apon there return The crew where met by a sickerning site, the very metor that had penetrated the Pegasus had Smashed in to the palace Grounds of Preatoria Wiping outh the country in momnets, all that was left was dust and ash as the colony set about desperatly trying to find suvivers, and re-establish the country.
