Various administrators and division heads operate through various levels of society. [color=00aeef]Demographics[/color]: Humans are the majority, though there is a large reliance on the use of robotics to augment the human workforce. Unlike the majority of humanity, everyone on the Ring of Delta-Four is at least 10 Generations of people that have lived in space. As such they cannot live under normal gravity, as their bones and muscles are too brittle without use of a special suit. [color=00aeef]Population[/color]: [list][*]250 Million - Human. Small population due to the fact it wasn't meant to be a self sufficient colony. [*]4 Billion Robotic Workers [/list] [img]https://i.redd.it/c83sol7gg8s01.png[/img] --- [/center] [color=39b54a]Planet Name and Description[/color]: Delta-4: Delta-4 was originally a world slated for colonisation as a large continental world. The Lorne Administration built a station in orbit and set the groundwork on Delta-4 and throughout the system for colonization. Since the gate closed without the colony ship coming through they have just continued their efforts. The station above the planet has turned into an orbital ring, as mines span moons and planets throughout the system. Meanwhile several cities, reserves and farmsteads have been established on the planet. Ready for colonisation. [color=39b54a]History[/color]: [list] [*][b]Gateway Activation:[/b] Pre-Colonisation the Lorne Corporation was sent in to set things up ahead of the Colony Ship [i]Endurance.[/i] [*][b]Year 1:[/b] Groundwork is laid down for Capital City, convoy lines, and mines established on Delta-4A and 4B. [*][b]Year 2:[/b] Gateway doesn't activate to produce a Colony Ship as expected. The decision is made to continue work as normal. [*][b]Year 3:[/b] Habitat-1 is expanded in space to accommodate for lack of supplies, farms are established in orbit. [*][b]Year 15:[/b] Capital City is completed and ready to move in. Ground is broken on City-2 and City-3. [*][b]Year 31:[/b] Accommodations are made to prevent workers' uprising. Entertainment, promotion opportunities are all created. [*][b]Year 35:[/b] Vote on whether or not to continue operating as a company goes through the people. The vote passes in favour of remaining a company. [*][b]Year 95:[/b] Mines are established on Delta-3,3a,3b and 3c. With a refinery on Delta-3. [*][b]Year 96:[/b] Human manual labour is now mostly regarded as obsolete. [*][b]Year 192:[/b] Habitat-1 becomes [i]The Ring[/i] as it extends right the way around the planet. Various objects in storage for when the colony finally arrives (if it ever does) as well as backup supplies for themselves. [*][b]Year 200:[/b] Creation of the Central Control Hub, hubs effectively control the robotic units under their purview. One exists on all Delta, as well as one on the Ring. [*][b]Year 221:[/b] The robotic worker numbers now number over 3 billion. [*][b]Year 251:[/b] Construction of Gas extraction facility in the upper atmosphere of Delta-1. Delta-1b and 1d also gain mines. [*][b]Year 266:[/b] Delta-1a and 1c gain their respective facilities. [*][b]Gateway reactivates:[/b] The few ancient warships that the Administration possesses are recommissioned back into service. [/list] [color=39b54a]Culture and Society[/color]: Very similar to a modern-day Earth. The only exception is that all social services are free such as education and healthcare. People who retire at the age of 65 are all treated very pleasantly in a specially constructed retirement habitat on the [i]Ring[/i] that has a domed roof to look down on the forests of Delta-4. [center] --- [/center] [color=f7941d]Governance and Politics[/color]:A CEO is selected from the Board, the Board of Directors are promoted from division heads and the division heads are selected by the board from within the divisions. There is a division for agriculture, health, education, mining, military, law enforcement, infrastructure and public relations. Most of the power is held within the board, but separate from the board is the Union, to which every worker is a member off and their job is to question and criticise everything the board does. [color=f7941d]Technology Overview[/color]: The Lorne Administrations technology hasn't drastically improved over the three hundred years since it became forcefully independent due to the gateways closing. Military technology is stagnant, the main R&D has been to improve the services that can be done by their robotic units, refineries and mines. They are also accomplished builders. Everything they built is made with a purpose and it is built to last, transport ships built are designed with a shelf life of hundreds of years. [color=f7941d]Military Overview[/color]: Theoretically every robotic unit can be used in combat. They aren’t designed for it but can do it poorly. The military itself is a largely obsolete division and hadn’t been manned properly for over two hundred years. When the gateway reactivated they brought their 5 Old Cruisers back online, which now maintain a blockade at the Gateway.

It's shorter than I usually do, but I can't think of anything else you need. So I'll leave it here and see what you say.[/hider]
