New Atlantis

Sign in to edit

New Atlantis is the capital city of the United Colonies, located on the planet Jemison in the Alpha Centauri system.[1]

Background[]

New Atlantis was founded on the planet Jemison in 2156,[2] the same year that humans first arrived in the Alpha Centauri system and confirmed that Jemison was a habitable world and suitable for colonization. The original colony was constructed underground on the edge of a plateau, beneath where the first colony ship, the Galileo, made landfall. The site was chosen to take advantage of a natural waterfall to generate hydroelectric power, and in later years, this district would become known as The Well. In 2160, Jemison was determined to be safe enough, and the colony's need for expansion to house evacuees from Earth pressing enough, that construction of residential and commercial structures on the planet's surface was approved and got underway. The United Colonies designated New Atlantis as its capital in 2161.[3][4]

In 2330, New Atlantis is the largest and most populous colony in the Settled Systems. The MAST Building, headquarters of the UC government, dominates the skyline, and is flanked by the skyscrapers of the Residential and Commercial districts. The central MAST District includes the MAST Building, embassies of the Freestar Collective and House Va'ruun, a sprawling park, and The Lodge, which is the headquarters of the private exploration group Constellation. The Spaceport sits below the city proper at the foot of the cliffs, and is connected to it by the New Atlantis Transit network.[5][6]

New Atlantis Information[]

Throughout the city of New Atlantis, blue information computers can be found which share some history and general knowledge about the United Colonies and New Atlantis.

Show: Welcome to New Atlantis

"Hello!

Welcome to the city of New Atlantis, capital of the United Colonies, and for many, the Settled Systems as a whole. You stand now in the most technologically advanced city the human race has ever conceived and constructed.

New Atlantis was founded in the year 2160, a mere four years after we first arrived in the Alpha Centauri star system. If you're a resident, then you're already familiar with your fantastic home! And if you're a visitor, you are an honored guest of the United Colonies, and will be treated as such.

Our courteous and professional Security personnel can be found all over the city, and it's their job to ensure your time in New Atlantis is joyful, lawful, and productive.

So as you stroll the streets, or take the NAT train to the city's different districts, know that you are in the embrace of the United Colonies, and couldn't be in better hands."

Show: Our Shared History

"We are the children of Earth.

The United Colonies as an entity was first established in the year 2159, on the planet Earth, as a means of unifying the human race as we spread amongst the stars. Our goal was the peaceful exploration and colonization of space, working in harmony with anyone who wishes to sail forth across the blackest sea, to new horizons. In 2161, we issued the Centaurus Proclamation, which formalized the colonization of distant worlds for anyone who wished to do so.

Unfortunately, not everyone shared in our dream. When wars erupted across the Settled Systems, the United Colonies stood steadfast, protecting humans and their right to fairly colonize.

And then, when our beloved home world was rendered uninhabitable in the year 2203, the United Colonies knew it had a sacred responsibility - we were to be the keepers of Earth. Its artifacts. Its ideals. Its cultures. Its very people.

So while you stand now on the planet Jemison, in the city of New Atlantis, in the Alpha Centauri star system, know that for all intents and purposes, you are still very much on Earth.

And Earth takes care of its own."

"The foundation of any society is its people, and there is no stronger person than a United Colonies citizen. As a citizen, you will carry a status unequaled in the Settled Systems, and will be recognized as the truly special individual you are. Whether you make your home in New Atlantis, Cydonia, or any other officially recognized settlement, citizenship is the truest badge of loyalty and dedication to the United Colonies you can possess.
As a United Colonies citizen, you will be afforded the following privileges:

*An exclusive and personalized acknowledgement of your new status

*Discounts at all major United Colonies business establishments
*A one-time credit disbursement
*And more!

How does one become a citizen? It's easy! Simply serve the United Colonies in any official capacity, and once you've met the allotted requirements, citizenship will be granted.

Currently, the fastest and simplest way to achieve citizenship is to complete a tour of duty in the Vanguard, the United Colonies' very own volunteer fleet. So if you've got your own ship, and the moxie to put yourself in harm's way for the good of the UC, speak with Commander John Tuala in MAST and get signed up today!

Note that as of this time, the United Colonies offers citizenship to anyone within the Settled Systems, regardless of current address or faction affiliation. If you want the United Colonies, the United Colonies wants you!"
