bramble world
Humanity discovered an anomalous inhabitable distant planet and sent out a colony generational ship. One of many similar expeditions in this time of peace. Upon arrival in the system a civil war broke out, evacuation became necessary and the warring factions were stranded on the planet. Forced to resolve their differences, they accepted a tiered social structure. The success of their system is on display in the massive singular city the provides them safety, health and satisfaction within is borders.
The first colonists discovered evidence of an ancient advanced alien civilization that existed on the planet. The only remaining artifacts are in the form of large structures now called “totems” and more massive ones named “vaults”, but no specimens or even fossils of this culture remain nor any hints to their nature or culture. Humanity uses the intense heat emitting from them to power their technology in the face of limited other more traditional resources.
While the original agreement provided stability for the colonists, not all are satisfied with the emergent status quo. Some venture out as unlicensed guides into the reserves for exploration and some for profit.
What secrets remain on this world to unlock its strange secrets and incoherent technologies?
The colony ship remains inaccessible in orbit ready for the final phase of its mission.
