This thread is for detailing and describing all the assets and features constructed or established within the colony from what they are, to what they do. As the settlement develops, more and more structures or fortifications will be added!

Spoiler: The Island

The crimson forest this colony sits within rests atop a moderately sized island surrounded by salty green waters that stretch far off over the horizon. Uneven, mountainous terrain make travel difficult. A walk from the shores to camp takes approximately 2 hours. Local fauna is relatively harmless and manageable, the most dangerous of which being an organism similar to the earthen grizzle bear.

Spoiler: The Bridge

The bridge is a massive ancient ruin which the settlement was built upon. It extends from one cliff face to another. Steep rocky cliff faces keep the area well protected from unwanted intrusion. The only ways to enter the camp without an extensive rock climb is through the hill base gate, or the tower to the west.

Spoiler: The Walls

The outer walls of the camp protect the settlement from both wildlife and potential intruders, funnelling all traffic through either the west or east hydraulic gates. The walls are 10 feet tall, with segmented laser trip wires running across their summits. These tripwires simply alert the radio tower & synchronized colony officials when disturbed.

Spoiler: The Prefabs

Prefabricated amenity modules were purchased from and deployed by Ceres Housing Solutions, and currently sit atop the bridge in the centre of the colony. These modules provide essential colony necessities including: An engineering & fabrication bay, Hydroponics, Restroom Facilities, and a Medical bay.

Spoiler: The Generator

The generator is used for emergency and back up only, utilizing erchius combustion. Otherwise, most facilities are kept operational through harvested UV energy.

Spoiler: Solar Panels

Solar panels are stocked upon most roof tops, and positioned around the massive xeno crystal looming within the centre pillar of the bridge. They are the colonies primary source of power.

Spoiler: Water Treatment

Water is siphoned from the river within the valley below the bridge with basic filtration & treatment. Common standard sensors are in place to detect parasites and toxins.

Spoiler: The Workshop

The workshop is a simple collection of tools and equipment publicly available to colonists. On top of that, it is also considered the 'store zone', and houses most of the colonies supplies safely secured in crates and lockers.

Spoiler: The Radio Tower

The radio tower provides the colony with a connection to the rest of the sector, as well as monitors air traffic in the surrounding atmosphere. The air control radar encompasses the entirety of the island side, and feeds directly into the Sentinel. The structure itself is incredibly stable and fortified due to its critical nature. From titanium & concrete supports, to tempered 12" thick windows.

Spoiler: The Sentinel (Anti Air Defence)

The Sentinel is a rugged and worthwhile investment linked with the air traffic radar system. An automated AI will issue warnings to all trespassing ships, and provide time to retreat before blasting them out of the air.

 

The Island
_____________________________________________________


Terrain
Loswake consists mostly of deep valleys and rocky hillsides. The island mass itself is roughly
3.5² kilometres. The waters that surround it are tinted green thanks to rich algae & plant life in the shallow shoreline.

Climate
It's climate is moderate, and diverse. Commonly, the days are hot and humid, whilst the nights are cool and crisp.
-5°C - 20°C

Fauna
The indigenous fauna share traits and behavioural patterns similar to Earth's North American continent. Rabbits, Deer, Wolves, and Bears are some of the more prominent similarities -- of course, these are just reference examples. The fauna aren't earthen species. Duh.

 

The Bridge
_____________________________________________________


Structure
The ominously large & marble carved ruin is the foundation the colony was built upon. The crackling, decaying stonework and overgrowing grass & trees demonstrate it's immense age, but despite it all the structure is as sturdy and strong as a mountain. Elegant masonry assumes whoever built these ruins were sophisticated and advanced, or at the very least, determined.

Location
The bridge stretches between two parted cliffs and looms over a small valley mostly occupied by a calm current river. The hillsides to either side are the only ways to enter the camp, apart from mountain climbing. This provides the settlers with an excellent advantage when attempting to control their territory.

 

The Walls
_____________________________________________________


Structure
Containing access to the hillside leading to the camp on either end stretch gated walls comprised mostly of iron sheeting and framework. While the walls themselves are not impenetrable, they are more orientated toward alerting the colonists to danger as opposed to stopping it. The walls reach 10 feet tall, and are roughly 5 inches thick.

Function
Running from segment to segment at the peaks of the walls sit pairs of ultraviolet sensors & laser tripwires. As with most lasers, these security measures are invisible to the eye. However, once something interferes with the alignment of the laser & sensor pairing, alarms are trigged within the radar tower and discretely forwarded to all calibrated personnel.
