Planetform was founded in 500 A.S. for the job of successfully terraforming and settling Planet California Minor. The company was started with a group of Cambridge researchers with the interests in turning a desolate desert landscape into a habital paradise within 400 years. Planetform’s was working towards its goal unhindered until 67 years ago, when the Gaian Eco-Terroroists appeared and started hindering their plans, pushing back the settlement date for Planet Harris by many years.
Planets currently under terraforming interest are; Planet Harris, their current largest project, California Minor, the planet closest to be ready for settlement, Planet Ayr, a Bretonian planet in Edinburgh still in the early stages of terraforming, and Planet Atka, a planet where operations have not begun yet. Planetform is currently headquartered at Canterbury Station in New London.
The Kingdom of Bretonia - Bretonia is the house en which Planetform resides. All members of the military, police, and corporate bodies of Bretonia are to be treated with the upmost respect. The Mollys are to be considered a neutral threat, current relations between the BAF and BPA and the Mollys shows that they should be watched at all times. The Gaian Eco-Terroroists should be considered shoot on sight.
The Republic of Liberty - Liberty is a house with repeated contracts, California minor and the upcoming Atka. The Military and Police members of this house should be treated with respect. The Xenos disapprove of our company, mainly due to its foreign relations. Treat them with hostility. The Liberty Rogues and Lane Hackers have no problem with robbing our transports for their own personal gain and have shown no interest in neutrality. Keep an eye on them at all times.
The Kusari Empire - Kusari and its current war with the Kingdom of Bretonia has shown that they should not be treated with respect. If any Planetform pilot comes across a member of the Kusari Military or Police, they should alert the Bretonian Armed forces immediately, and provide assistance if they are in a fighter. The Blood Dragons have yet to show any interest in our company, and should be ignored. The Hogosha back the Kusari Military on many terms, and they should be treated the same. The Golden Chrysanthemums are welcome in the Kingdom of Bretonia, and will be treated with respect.
The Kingdom of Gallia - All relations with this house is unknown. At this moment, their forces should be treated as neutral, and diplomatic ties should be made.
--Rheinland, Corsairs, and Outcast coming soon--
There are currently 3 wings within Planetform. The Security Wing which deals in fighters, the Transportation wing, which deals in delivering supplies to planets in need, and the Covert Transportation, which deals in Gaian Wildlife and other 'less then legal' cargo.

It looks prettier, it has some RP stories behind and it's lacking a leader so you can take over.
I've thought about that, but I don't know anybody in the faction nor who I would contact about that. and judging by that account's last online date, I wouldn't get an answer anytime soon. I've also talked with DRV about a few things, since he was involved in the first Planetform.

I've talked with Sapnoral, a member of that Planetform. He said we could use some things from that post. I'll be updating our post over the next few days as everything falls in order. Thanks for the help.

How are you going to be different from other trading factions? I mean there is no "terraforming" game mechanic for you to use. Basically what are you gonna do that no-one else does? whats your hook?

' Wrote:How are you going to be different from other trading factions? I mean there is no "terraforming" game mechanic for you to use.
We actually trade with what we're supposed to IRP. Planetform is a terraforming faction, so it makes most sense for them to trade in Terraforming Gas, Oxygen, Water, etc etc. Right now the main route written down involves Fertalizers, Water, and Terraforming Gasses. This route also involves 2 under developed planets, and a station that holds things that an underdeveloped planet needs. Planetform is more interested in their own contracts, so they wouldn't ship for other companies as many current trading factions do. Instead, we would hire them to do the work for us if we don't have enough ships to get the job done. So basically, we're no 'different' if you look at the grey area of trading, but the part that would make us different is the actual cargo and destinations. You wont see Planetform hauling Gold from Dublin to New York, like other factions do, but if you do, then please let me know.
