A Return to Business; Planetary Colonies for Sale (FT; Open)

Vespeterium Minor

The Family Vespeterium have always made their money in the world of business, and after a break, we have returned to this method. The four colonies on sale are dotted on three different planets and all offer different resources. Extra services can be demanded. Terra-formation of the colony costs an extra 5 billion on top of the named price, and the extermination of a local population costs an extra 10 billion.

Shi-Ranu 16
Planet: Orgo
Orgo is a small planet in the Gutam system (some 20,000 light years from Earth). Shi-Ranu 16 is located on the edge of the Continent Jarro. Orgo can not support local life, and so life support systems and artificial gravity are needed. However, the planet offers numerous mining capabilities, offering ore, crystal, and even oil. It also makes an excellent military base, as well as the capability to expand and take the whole planet.
It is roughly the size of Mercury. The climate is always extremely warm and there are no water sources on the planet. Gravity and oxygen are non-existent.

Asking Price: 35 billion

Reein 3
Planet : Affar
Affar is located in the Korso system, around 11,000 light years from Earth. It is a planet populated by a race of cephalopods three billion strong and possessing technology similar to that of twentieth century Earth. The cephalopods, or Affarians as they are known are run from a central Government in the capital of Butah. This Government is under the control of the Family Vespeterium, and it is strongly advised to place them under your command if you wish to keep your colony safe from attack (bibrty and fear are the best methods, though this can be time consuming hence the lowered price.)
Reein 3 is located in the Artic West. From here scientific experiments, mining operations and military exercises can be undertaken. Reein 3 has a large oil reserve nearby and there are chances for mining precious stones nearby. The facility is run by a workforce of Affarians 3000 strong.
Affar is roughly the size of Earth and its climate is temperate in most places, though the East and West remain frozen most of the year.

Asking Price: 27 billion

Paulo 13
Planet: Srecia
Srecia is located in the Korso system 13,000 light years from Earth. Srecia is the most populous colony world containing some thriteen colonies owned by different species (the Family ownes two here). There is a local population of semi-intelligent humans, though these are pushed into the countryside and remain and feudalistic and middle ages mentality (around 900 AD technology).
Paulo 13 is located near the edge of the Korp Sea and thus has an almost infinite supply of oil-water. It also features a space port and several thousand homes. Much of the income comes from other species taking residence here. It is a brilliant trading base and can provide a good point for selling quantities taken from Affar. It is protected by a mountain range on one side and the sea on the other from any incursions from neighbours.
The city is worked by a population of locals 11,000 strong, though they are not paid. The planet is about the size of Jupiter and has a varied climate. Paulo 13 experiences warmth for 13 of the 24 months and freezing cold the rest of the time.

Asking Price: 33 billion

Korlap 11
Planet: Srecia
Korlap 11 is the best quality base. It is the size of a large city and dominates the island of Ren. From here the owner of the base is able to extend their authority of a third of the planets surface. This base if close to a mining plant which is currently uncovering vast amounts of powerful metals, that are great for building either civilian or military machines. Oil, precious stones, and a large stockpile of food based stuff makes this colony the diamond of those on offer.


Asking Price: 50 billion

Skgorria will take all of them

The Skgorrians are approached about joint ownership of Shi-Ranu 16, the lack of gravity offers ideal situation for various research projects. Any and all resources that may be found on the planet are of no interest to us, the unique environment however is.

I'll give it 24 hours to see if I get any better offers.

The Amazonian Dominion will offer 30 billion in standard currency for Reein 3.
