This will be three separate anthologies set over the first fifty years of the colony.  Write well.

Scott’s Planet is a colony planet that has been abandoned by corporate. About half of the colony chose to immigrate to other viable colonies.  The remainder have decided to stay. The planet is roughly like earth in the early carboniferous period. 

The settlers have struggled to carve out a niche for themselves amid the planet’s native ecology.  While Earth flora and Fauna are more sophisticated and complex than that of Scott’s Planet, and generally thrives, there are challenges.  The carboniferous produced some incredible fauna in the insect world.  So ready your self for 3 meter centipedes and meter long dragonflies.

275 members of a colony evacuated from another planet are dropped off during the Exit.  

A bible for the shared world is available from Kionadad@aol.com.

Volume one is the first ten years after being abandoned, volume two is the next 20 years, and Volume three (or more) is the next twenty years.
