Ahoy! I'd love to participate, but I'm already busy with another RP, and experience has taught me not to run multiple stories at once. But I'd be happy to supply you all with more sources for learning more about colonization:

Matter Beam :
Discussing many of the technologies and solutions for spacefaring challenges, from interstellar commerce to laser warfare, he also has a series on colonizing the solar system spread troughout his blog. He already covered Mars, the moons of Jupiter, Venus, and even Mercury. His analysis is heavy on details about minerals and resources, with a pinch of economics and trace amounts of politics to create interesting scenarios. Those of you intererested in settling on Mars, I recommend you read his entry on it.

I will also recommend his articles on the construction materials that would be available for large scale building on extraterrestrial settlements: Part 1, Part 2

And if you'd like to discuss hard science with me, I'm always up for it.
You Sir, are a hidden gem. You just won yourself a follow.
 
Wandering Grim Hollow Wandering Grim Hollow
Why, thank you!

If you have any topics you wish to discuss, I'm all ears!
Well I do have an idea for Martian terraforming. Well.... Just one really, the part about the electromagnatic field. Given that its about a 100 years in the future, would an array of electromagnetic satellites at the L1 Lagrange point be good enough to shield it from solar winds?

I mean, I saw a paper on it and I was wondering if that works. As for the gravity well.... I'm writing that exosuits are used for planets with higher gravity.

As for the satellites, yes that's pretty much the only solution short of reliquifying the martian core and spinning it up.
And it would work just fine, we humans are pretty good at generating magnetic fields hundreds to thousands of times stronger than Earth's natural magnetic field. Making an array of those things on Mars would likely be the easiest part of a martian colonization/terraformation plan, even if it would be quite energy-expensive and susceptible to damage.

As for the exosuits for high gravity planets, well, that would allow the explorers to move, but their hearts would still have problems pumping blood upwards, and their bones will still be taking enormous pressure; the exosuit still wont help with that. Not unless youre planning to build them inside their bodies.
In any case, you'd pretty much need cybernetic enhancements if you'd want to spend more than 30 seconds subject to 2 or 3 g's on your body.
Also, the only planets that have gravity much greater than Earth's are Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus. What the hell are your homies doing snooping around the surface of gas giants!?

I mean when Martian born men go to Earth.

ALSO WHY NOT? I NEED THAT HELIUM 3 FUEL.

P.S I'm planning on having some lucky Martians being born on Torus colonies in Martian orbit. And for use in simulating combat on Earth atmo.
 
Wandering Grim Hollow Wandering Grim Hollow
Oh, I see. Well, for this case exosuits still wouldnt help much. If the martians dont have hearts strong enough to pump blood in Earth gravity, their muscles will probably be just as crappy for moving around.
Hey, robots can collect Helium-3 just fine. No need to go sending squishy meat bags to do that for you; just keep them in orbit whatching the mining bots!

Torus colonies for physical conditioning? Smart. Artificial gravity would likely be a highly requested medical asset for cities. Our bodies spent the crushing majority of their evolutionary history with 1g pressing on them, and the sudden drop of gravity will not be healthy.
Having strong bones is imperative for staying alive and productive, and productive is a very treasured adjective for a colony in the middle of a barren, lifeless, prechlorite-poisoned wasteland, where even the air you breathe is costly.

No, seriously, even giving birth to a child requires healthy bones. Because of our unusualy big heads, upon birth human children impart a lot of pressure on the pelvic bones of their mothers. If those bones break in the middle of the labour, the mother could die.

Also, even if Earther bones arent needed in a Martian enviroment, you'd still want strong bones. Gravity may take it easy on your bones on Mars, but Sir Isaac Newton wont.
It doesnt matter what planet you live in, if your foot hits a chair with speed it will hurt just the same. And if your bones are degraded below that of an old man with ostheoporosis ,a brusied toe could easily turn into a medical emergency, and hitting your head on a wall could result in cranial trauma.

The U.S. Army is the garrison and primary defensive force of the USM, due to a change of military and civilian government view on how operations work in the past few decades, it is now the Marines that form the primary deployment forces for offensive operations, moving in and wiping out enemy resistance with the Army being deployed afterwards to mop up. Current government policy enforces all young men and women upon hitting their 18th birthday to enlist in the Army for a period of two years, during these two years all lively expenses are paid for them and once their service time is over they can either choose to remain in the Army or move onto other careers. Like all branches of the military, it is mandatory for all Army personnel to go through advanced gene therapy upon recruitment as to improve their bodies, like the Marines the Army also has disciplined exercise courses for it's personnel to keep them strong under the planet's weak gravity.

Highly lethal, well-trained and very well-equipped. The United Martian Marine Corps is the successor to the centuries old USMC and a fighting force of the future, unlike it's defensive counterpart; the Army. Conscription is not practiced by the Marines due to the high levels of physical and mental requirements that any potential applicants must pass, conscription was tried in prior years however it hardly brought in any recruits as the majority of the population brought in though meeting the physical requirements could not live up to the hard-headed, wardog mentality expected of a United Martian Marine. The UMMC is the spearhead of the United States of Mars military and maintain peak physique to ensure their forms don't weaken under the weak Martian gravity. Alongside this the equipment of both the Army and Marines are vastly different though retain somewhat balanced effectiveness on the battlefield.

a0tIEWR.png
The primary mode of ground transportation for United States troops of both the Marines and Army, the M88 Armstrong is a heavily armored personnel carrier designed specifically to traverse rough barren environments like Mars and Luna, it is an all-terrain vehicle with peak defensive capabilities however it lacks any offensive measures, often relying on it's thick armored plating, sensor systems and nearby friendly units to defend itself. It is solely designed with the transport of equipment, supplies and personnel from point A to point B in the quickest, safest and most efficient manner possible and as such it is very hardy against light-arms fire and can hold its own for brief periods of time against anti-armor weaponry. It can hold up to 30 troops at one time.

3a8f8990b52260e0bd752a08987de510.jpg
The Enforcer is the brainchild of the creators of the M88 Armstrong and the M2A2 Eisenhower, developed and produced due to a requirement of having not just a standard issue APC but a standard issue IFV as well, it was built out of a necessity for the armed forces to have an armored vehicle that faster than the M2A2 yet slower than the M88 though compensated for it's slower speed by a larger array of defensive capabilities and the inclusion of offensive capabilities as well, allowing for the Enforcer to take part in battles as well as deliver troops to them. Though not as large as the M88 Armstrong, the M89 does allow for more combat assets to be deployed alongside infantry, with the ability to carry 20 troops in it's back compartment. The M89 also comes with--like it's predecessor a laser targetting system to support both infantry and air forces in acquiring priority targets on the battlefield. The Enforcer is typically used as a support offensive vehicle to the M2A2 and a transport vehicle to battles.


9ab7a71988ed7ee7d4ef9ff2ab6eccf1.jpg
The M2A2 is the primary and only main battle tank of the US Army and the UMMC, it maintains multiple roles of anti-armor and anti-infantry, with it's high speed and agility alongside it's heavy firepower making it suitable for both close-quarter engagements and long-distance tank battles. It sports two 145mm caliber guns on the front of it and two M359 Browning machine guns for use by either accompanying troops or the crew of the vehicle itself, with one turret at the back and one at the front. The M2A2 has a top speed of 65 miles an hour and it's tracks have been designed with the rugged Martian terrain in mind, allowing for quick manouvering when need be.

tank_detail.png
Following a dire need for modernized ground anti-air capabilities. Two major defense contractors for the US military were able to come up with a spiritual successor to the PATRIOT missile defense system back on Earth. As such the MIM-12 was born of that, with the ability to launch 18 powerful missiles at the same time or at multiple different times depending on the desire of the operator. The vehicle is fully automated and targets enemy aerial assets or projectiles based on priority, with these priority categorizations having been imput by human personnel beforehand as to give the vehicle the correct sense of morality and value of military equipment and human lives when it comes to designating a choice for it's missile launches. This vehicle is also capable of taking down spacecraft in low orbit however has not yet had the chance to prove it's capabilities in real combat for obvious reasons, the MIM-12 typically defends settlements and is designated as a support vehicle to be behind assault forces during any battle.

li_render___sci_fi_tank_by_laticis-da14g4n.jpg
Similar to the production of the M89 Enforcer or the MIM-12 PATRIOT, the M120 Knight was developed out of a requirement for a powerful and mobile method of delivering high amounts of firepower from a long distance, in other words a really good self-propelled artillery vehicle. And this was given to the military in the form of the M120, based on four seperated pairs of gripped wheels to easily traverse the rough Martian surface, the M120 is fitted with a 195mm howitzer cannon yet retains the deadly accuracy of other artillery guns of times gone past with the help of it's onboard fire control systems, again like all other vehicles in the US military's arsenal it is fully automated yet is designed to suit human operators if the automated systems are ever compromised.

3VJBy5WcVUPc.jpg
The Whitebird is the primary transportation shuttle of not just the USM military but it's civilian government as well, used by nearly every government agency for the transportation of people or goods, the Whitebird has proven itself a very capable and reliable asset on both the field and at home. The shuttle is capable of both atmospheric and space flight though is terribly slow compared to spaceflight designed vessels and it can carry up to 20 people at any given time though the recommended amount is 15, it is more often than not piloted automatically however like all other aircraft, spacecraft and vehicles in the USM, it is also designed with a cockpit to allow human control if the automated systems somehow fail or falter.

cf0071cbba241f39ecc0e4c17ecefbed.jpg
The Eagle is the designated heavy-hitter of the USM's aerial and space power for the time being, with it's large size, thick armor and staggering array of weaponry on-board. It really is a flying fortress, designed with the idea of heavy, reliable air support in mind with the ability to both defend itself and suppress enemy ground forces long enough for friendlies to either retreat safely or to advance quickly on the enemy positions, the AS-84 takes inspiration from both the AH-64 Apache and the AC-130 gunship, it maintains a crew of technicans to ensure that the many complex automated systems that control both the weapons of the craft and pilot it do not fail and if required step in to take manual control. It also provides an effective means of being able to both transport and defend troops and equipment at the same time, with it's back compartment being able to hold up to 15 troops and any necessary supplies for a mission or supply drop.

nenad_gojkovic_01.jpg
The F-62 Piercer is the air to air and air to ground fighter craft of the USAF, a fully automated strike craft with anti-armor and anti-air capable missiles en-tow, these fighter craft are renowned for their comparatively small size yet high bulk of firepower. The Piercer comes in multiple varients to perform a multitude of important roles in the air, the F-62A Electric is the Piercer's sister craft and is designed specifically for electronic warfare and stealth surveillance operations, with plans for AI integration in either the far or close future. Meanwhile the Piercer remains the mainstream model intended for offensive operations and close air support of friendly ground forces. The F-62 is also VTOL capable, removing the need for long airstrips and it's wings are retractable, allowing for large numbers of them to be stored in small spaces.

Imperial Military And Organization
upload_2017-7-31_18-35-43.png
The Imperial Military is a diverse and heavily trained army that is solely tasked with the security of the nation and combating threats to the Imperial Empire. All citizens are trained with at least 6 months worth of weapons training and drilling, those who finish the 6 month mandatory training are given the option to stay in the military or go into the work force. Most citizens rather stay in the military as they have a surging spirit of patriotism and duty to their nation and it is also recommended to stay unless there is a shortage of workers. When a citizen wishes to stay in the military, they are assigned to a branch that bests suits their skills. They are either assigned to the "Imperial Garrison" which they are tasked with policing the populace and keeping crime at low levels. Some may even be lucky to be assigned as "Imperial Guardsman" as they are tasked to protect the Capital building where the two great leaders live and other high ranking officers. The second branch is the Imperial Army which is of course tasked with defending the nation and combating outside threats in land combat. Soldiers assigned to this branch may be lucky to start off as officers if they show leadership traits. If they do start as a officer they are sent off to a officer academy to begin further education in the field of combat and learning tactics, strategies, and doctrines. When they graduate, they are assigned their rank that fits their scores. Now if a soldier shows no signs of leadership traits, they are immediately assigned the rank of private and placed into a regiment and such. They will continue to go through rigorous training and given a once in a lifetime opportunity to take on the "Imperial Death Course" which is a obstacle course filled with military robots that are programmed to kill their targets and coordinate with other robots. This course is only to be taken one year within training and if the soldier believes he can pass and have 3 high ranking officers within their assigned regiment to give the green light. The soldier if accepted and is proven that he has the skills, will be pitched in to fight in three rounds. Each round will become more difficult then the last, and the robots are given live rounds to truly test the soldiers mental and physical strengths. Course there is only two ways out of the test which is either victory or death. There are no breaks in between, and only the best come out alive. If the participant comes out alive he will be assigned to the Death Corp, which is an elite force of commando's that are trained and equipped for stealth missions, and rescue/raid missions. The commandos are put in groups of four and rely heavily on their teammates. Currently there are 508 Death Corp Commando's within the army and they rarely show themselves on military grounds. Now if a soldier wishes not to take the course, that is fine. But he will never get another chance and so he will continue on his training and duties. He will also be assigned a role like engineer, assault and etc.

The third branch of course is the Imperial Galactic Navy. troops assigned to this branch are given the same process as soldiers going through the Imperial Army, you are either destined to become a officer cadet or a marine/crew member. Marines of course are special troopers who are the first to see combat when invading a planet. Tho the Imperial Empire has yet to see any such action, marines and other troops are put into simulations that help give them some sort of combat experience. The crew members on deck are of course trained to operate the ship and work together with the command of the captain to fully utilize efficiency within the ship. Now the only branch that is allowed for new soldiers to join without recommendation is the Imperial Air Force, wether you wish to just be a mechanic, an officer, or one day become an ace. You must go through a mental/physical check up. If you fail you will be assigned to a different branch, if you pass then you go through a course or training to whatever path that fits your skills.

this covers the majority of the Military.

Political Systems

Economic system

The Coalition's system borrows much from the communist-capitalist China of the early 21st century, although like its parent nation on Earth it has leaned even more towards capitalism and no longer claims to be a truly communist nation.

Government

The Coalition is a Technocratic Representative Democracy. Each of the settlements elects a number of representatives based on population to represent their constituents in national policy. The national leader is elected by popular vote and serves up to four 5-year terms. Not just anyone can be a representative or leader, though. You need a fairly high level of education, and to be national leader you are required to have previous political experience. Furthermore, certain views such as racial supremacy can also disqualify you.

Foreign Policy

The Coalition is fairly xenophilic, encouraging refugees and immigrants and especially loving trade with other nations.

Personal Freedoms

The citizens of the Coalition enjoy a fair amount of personal freedom. However, old habits die hard, and censorship and other such things occur and Free Speech isn't necessarily guaranteed.

Terraforming Policy

The Coalition's terraforming policy is relatively neutral, leaning slightly pro-terraforming. However, it is acknowledged that there is a natural beauty to Mars and all other worlds, and that that beauty should be preserved in any terraforming process.

Non-human Citizenry Policy

The Coalition believes in equality of all sapients, whether they be AI, human, or animal. They may be the first to deal with this issue, as efforts to genetically engineer sapience into some animal species have been going on for several decades in the Coalition.

Leader Goals:

Zhou Wuying has two major priorities as leader. Firstly, he wishes to re-establish contact with other colonies all across the Solar System and get a body similar to the UN up and running to encourage humanity to work together in these uncertain times. Secondly, he wishes to complete the Grey Parrot Enhancement project, currently the most successful effort in engineering sapience into other animals. He also hopes to acquire dolphin specimens from another colony, as there are not enough in the Coalition for a breeding population to create a sapient species. He also has some interest in exploring other bodies in the Solar System.



Military Info

Number of Soldiers

28,000

Number of Military Vehicles

1,870

Automation Level
The Army is largely automated, with about 60% of soldiers being bots of various kinds. Vehicles are also autonomous, although they usually have a driver who can take over if necessary.

Other

Due to Mars' currently extremely thin atmosphere, planes are not very viable. Because of this, the Coalition mostly uses dirigibles for military operations, as they fly better in the thin Martian atmosphere.



History

Closely following the first Mars colony by the USA in 2052, the first Chinese colony of Chongqing in the Elysium region was founded in 2056. The population powerhouse of China housed over 2 billion people at this point, and many saw Mars as a new opportunity. Habitats were quickly filled up as soon as they were built. However, business still continued back on Earth. Seeing opportunity in pacific and american markets, China began funding a colony program by Ecuador and Chile to gain influence there. Those two nations established Punta Arenas in 2073, and had fallen under the Chinese influence sphere. Chinese culture began to heavily influence the cultures of those nations, and they were solidly in China's Pacific influence sphere, even to the end when war came. The colonies on Elysium had grown to 3.2 million people by the time of the Rapture, World War III, the Bombardment of Fire, the Smiting, the Last War. Now, half a year later in 2112, the government has finally been consolidated, the legal documents drafted, the officials elected, the nation born. Zhou Wuying plans to lead his nation, and hopefully all of humanity, into not just only recovery but a new renaissance for humanity, the solar system, and all of Earthkind.​

Imperial Military And Organization
View attachment 338176
The Imperial Military is a diverse and heavily trained army that is solely tasked with the security of the nation and combating threats to the Imperial Empire. All citizens are trained with at least 6 months worth of weapons training and drilling, those who finish the 6 month mandatory training are given the option to stay in the military or go into the work force. Most citizens rather stay in the military as they have a surging spirit of patriotism and duty to their nation and it is also recommended to stay unless there is a shortage of workers. When a citizen wishes to stay in the military, they are assigned to a branch that bests suits their skills. They are either assigned to the "Imperial Garrison" which they are tasked with policing the populace and keeping crime at low levels. Some may even be lucky to be assigned as "Imperial Guardsman" as they are tasked to protect the Capital building where the two great leaders live and other high ranking officers. The second branch is the Imperial Army which is of course tasked with defending the nation and combating outside threats in land combat. Soldiers assigned to this branch may be lucky to start off as officers if they show leadership traits. If they do start as a officer they are sent off to a officer academy to begin further education in the field of combat and learning tactics, strategies, and doctrines. When they graduate, they are assigned their rank that fits their scores. Now if a soldier shows no signs of leadership traits, they are immediately assigned the rank of private and placed into a regiment and such. They will continue to go through rigorous training and given a once in a lifetime opportunity to take on the "Imperial Death Course" which is a obstacle course filled with military robots that are programmed to kill their targets and coordinate with other robots. This course is only to be taken one year within training and if the soldier believes he can pass and have 3 high ranking officers within their assigned regiment to give the green light. The soldier if accepted and is proven that he has the skills, will be pitched in to fight in three rounds. Each round will become more difficult then the last, and the robots are given live rounds to truly test the soldiers mental and physical strengths. Course there is only two ways out of the test which is either victory or death. There are no breaks in between, and only the best come out alive. If the participant comes out alive he will be assigned to the Death Corp, which is an elite force of commando's that are trained and equipped for stealth missions, and rescue/raid missions. The commandos are put in groups of four and rely heavily on their teammates. Currently there are 508 Death Corp Commando's within the army and they rarely show themselves on military grounds. Now if a soldier wishes not to take the course, that is fine. But he will never get another chance and so he will continue on his training and duties. He will also be assigned a role like engineer, assault and etc.

The third branch of course is the Imperial Galactic Navy. troops assigned to this branch are given the same process as soldiers going through the Imperial Army, you are either destined to become a officer cadet or a marine/crew member. Marines of course are special troopers who are the first to see combat when invading a planet. Tho the Imperial Empire has yet to see any such action, marines and other troops are put into simulations that help give them some sort of combat experience. The crew members on deck are of course trained to operate the ship and work together with the command of the captain to fully utilize efficiency within the ship. Now the only branch that is allowed for new soldiers to join without recommendation is the Imperial Air Force, wether you wish to just be a mechanic, an officer, or one day become an ace. You must go through a mental/physical check up. If you fail you will be assigned to a different branch, if you pass then you go through a course or training to whatever path that fits your skills.

this covers the majority of the Military.


Ok, a few notes. Firstly, you can't claim all of Europa. Please specify where on Europa your colonies are. Secondly, I'm not necessarily against you being a military dictatorship, but please explain in your history how a colony could go from being under a democratic colonizer like the EU to suddenly going all Nazi-ish. A history section is generally appreciated. Thirdly, I'd personally rename all the "galactic" stuff, as this RP will pretty much stay entirely within the solar system. Fourthly, nobody will have space navies at the beginning of the RP, as those will show up later on. Fifth, your nation sounds like it has a lot of established traditions about its military, which wouldn't really make sense since the destruction of Earth was only 6 months before the beginning of the RP. Sixth, "Imperial Empire" is pretty redundant. That's like "Democratic Democracy" or "Republican Republic". Please change the name. Finally, there probably won't be any aircraft in your military, seeing as Europa has no atmosphere and so aircraft physically couldn't function there.

I know it's a lot, but if you can do a lot of that editing and such to make your nation more plausible and fit the setting, I'd be happy to accept you. general ostruppen general ostruppen

I'm going to have to do a hard denial. Why is it an anarcho-capitalist monarchy? The military is gigantic, there's barely any detail, the history just makes it less plausible, and it just doesn't make sense in general. There's going to be at least some standard of quality for this RP, and your CS doesn't reach it. Denied.

So your saying there won't be any chances of us going beyond our solar system later down the line?

It's possible, but it'll most likely be slower-than-light generation ships and such that take many pages to even reach their destinations. Besides, even if FTL does happen, it'll be way down the line, and we'd have to work at it to keep the RP going that long.

Name: The UABC (United Asteroid Belt Colonies)

Location(Planet and specific area/asteroid): All of Ceres is claimed by the nation, and there are minor outposts on seven of the nearest asteroids, largely for small mining operations.

Population(under 5 million): As of the 2110 census, 1,224,336, though estimated growth rates have placed it at 1,228,144

Main Settlement: Janus, the capital, boasts a mighty population of 144,362 people, with it's large military bases and mining operations nearby providing jobs for the citizens.

Other Settlements(if any): Though the vast majority of citizens live in small Dome-towns, as they are fondly called, there are three other large towns - Deimos, boasting 33,220, is home to the most outstanding military academies as well as the space port of Ceres, which produce small mining ships and defense ships for the most part, though they also boast the fact that they created the Corvette flagship, the BCN Indomitable, which has an astounding four railguns as well as sublight ion engines. The other two cities, Lyssa, home to the heavy industrial sector of Ceres and boasting 24,190 people, and Demeter, the sprawling farmland city that produces the vast amount of food for the UABC, with 19,220 people calling it home.

Founder Nation(Main colonizers are America, China, EU, and India. However, other nations are fine if you get my approval and have a plausible reason.): A joint EU and American Effort.

Specialty(transportation, mining, rocketry, habitat technology, etc.): Mining and Shipbuilding, with subspecialties of agriculture and industrial production.



Political Systems

Economic system(Free market capitalism, hardline communism, anarchist gift economy, etc. Even make up your own if you want): An interesting mix, where citizens are required to work from the age of sixteen onwards to earn their ration cards, but they also get luxury cards as normal wages for small things, like personal computers, clothes, and other such things. Military members earn a higher amount of luxury cards due to the military culture of the UABC

Government(Democracy to dictatorship, however your leaders are chosen): Ruled by a council of the four Military heads, with one of them taking the place of ruler. There is also a senate which largely votes on the smaller changes.

Foreign Policy(Xenophile or xenophobe?): While mildly hostile due to their militaristic culture, if you earn their friendship they tend to be an unwavering ally.

Personal Freedoms(Is it anarchy, where everyone does whatever they please, or is every citizen a drone of the state, with no freedom at all?): The citizens largely have freedoms - freedom of speech, religion and whatnot, but they are required to work as stated before and they are all subject to draft from the age of sixteen until they are forty five.


Terraforming Policy(Do you believe a planet should be terraformed at any cost or that an untouched planet is sacred? Somewhere in between?): They are heavily reliant on terraforming to provide food, make life easier, and the like, so they are heavy terraformers.

Non-human Citizenry Policy(Are you a human supremacist that believes enhanced animals, genetically engineered humans, and AI are scum? Do you believe all sapients are equal?

The marines are heavily armed and armored, with excellent armor, the ICS (integrated combat system) which is used primarily for highlighting enemy soldiers, checking distances, and getting viewmaps from local cameras (usually used in boarding battles) They also use the IR (infantry rifle) 32, which, while not as helpful as the reliable and heavy punching IR48, still is valuable in space combat due to the high velocity bullets which can be used on Extra-Vehicular patrols.

Number of Military Vehicles: A single Corvette, the BCN Indomitable, which, as stated before, has ionic engines and four railguns. Manned by eighty men, it can pack a punch. The rest of the 'fleet' is made up of small reusable rockets, with a three man crew, largely used for patrolling the area.
Ground vehicles are much less common, but there is a hundred and twenty Humvee's, used largely in quelling any unrest due to their armor.
The Burness Air Transport, which uses alternating engines, can lift off from the main spaceport of Deimos, enter the airlock, and switch from an air intake engine to a more standard liquid fuel engine. These are not designed for long range missions, and are commonly used for trade between the dome cities or resupplies to the mining colonies. The farthest a Burness has reached is Phobos, but it was supported and refueled by a fellow burness halfway there and even then it had no fuel for a return trip. There are currently eight hundred of these transports, though a large amount of them are private civilian transports used by the mining corporations.
For longer ranged trips, such as trading trips to Mars, the vast majority of citizens as well as the military turns to the Tollet Long Range Cargo Vehicle. Sparsely armed but with a large cargo hold and an excellent fuel tank efficiency, this allows one round trip to Mars per fuel tank. It can also carry three humvees and thirty soldiers or eighty soldiers. There are currently fifty of the TLRC in usage.


Automation Level(How automated is your military? It's 2112 after all. Are most of your soldiers robots and your tanks controlled by programming, or do you still use mostly human troops?): While still largely humans, the supply, repair and other aspects are done by bots and droids, as it is much simpler for them to do it.

History

Ceres was established as a military development, training, and building center for new spacecraft by the US-EU to combat the threat of the Chinese colonies in 2068. Unfortunately, growing political tensions meant that focus was not as centered on Ceres, and the shipments of food, new parts, and people became much less common as Mars was focused on. Thus Ceres had to become more self sufficient. One of the first projects was a vast farmland with solar lamps to assist this. Thankfully, with the advent of fusion power, this was easily assisted and crops were quickly assisting. The population swelled over the next three decades and mining and industry was being swiftly developed, with tensions on Earth growing worse and the likelihood of all shipments stopping becoming more and more likely.
After the fall of the Earth, it was evident that Ceres was unlikely to survive without strong leadership. The military swiftly took down the Democratic government in a coup. With a Ceres-born general at the head, a swift change to the economy and political system was made, with the ration and luxury card system coming into play and the government being restructured. Though political unrest occured, the military kept the peace until such a time that the insurrection began to stop. When unrest was quelled three weeks ago, the Commander General swiftly turned his attention to the politics of the Solar System.

Ok dude there aren't just protestants and Anglicans within those two separate countries cultures, there are also Catholics in the millions. So I don't see why that's a big deal for you when its been hundreds of years passing.
