Ever since the Crayterian refugees arrived in Coronado, planet Yuma has been the cornerstone of CR's development plans. The temporary settlements on Pecos, around the IMG Camp Lister mining settlement has run into problems that cannot be ignored. The humanitarian situation on Pecos is becoming critical and if not remedied soon, it will inevitably lead to casualties.

Recent history has also shown that the Pecos situation has already led to friction between the IMG and Crayter authorities and both the Guildmasters of the IMG and the Crayter Republic Parliament have agreed that a coordinated effort has to be made to relocate the refugees to a more suitable place.

Planet Yuma was decided to be the location that would be developed to house the Crayterian survivors permanently. However, as DSE and IMG's joint planet-side operations already realized, Yuma is not easy to tame.

Especially the fast-growing terrestrial vegetation has hindered permanent colonization efforts massively, making a sustainable food production chain impossible to keep up.

However, with the concerted effort of the Crayter Republic forces and the IMG, the mega-project to tame Yuma partially is restarted with the goal to resettle all Colonial citizens to the planet permanently.



Phase I - Floating Cities
While Yuma has proven to be an inhospitable world, with its mainland covered in swarming amounts of highly resistant plant-life, the Crayterians have decided that it's best to begin elsewhere. To succeed in this endeavor, they looked towards the planet's ocean.

Additional Info: Movers and IMG - Hauling to Sabah

After their joint hauling operation with the IMG was underway, it was merely a matter of time. While still ongoing, the enormous amounts of Industrial Materials were ready for use, so the Crayterians kick-started the construction of the infrastructure.
Within a matter of weeks, the framework was almost complete, with only minor adjustments to be made.

Hard work and determination were never in short supply through-out the construction, but this is only the first step towards a much bigger goal.

During that time, the rest of the materials have been brought in, so now it is time for the rest to be built.

By the end of 821 A.S., the efforts to develop Yuma into an inhabitable world showed pleasing results. The living quarters were almost complete, being already able to properly house over 450.000 people, while numerous other facilities are either finished or have their infrastructure laid down.


Space Port - Landing Pads

Even though the planet's Docking Ring was not yet done, transportation stood as a definitive element in the development of the colonisation project. Thus, a Space Port became a clear necessity.
Landing Pads were built in numerous locations around the floating cities, allowing easy docking for ships of all sizes.

Space Port - Logistics Hub

A hub to organise traffic as well as serve as a logistics center was also built, leading to an increase in the effectiveness of both Crayterian and IMG transport vessels.









Inner City - Housing

From mere infrastructure and floating alloy panels, quickly rose a sight that some Crayterians never thought they'd come to see. A beautiful city began to take shape, ready to offer a home to those that would come to Yuma.

Marine Food Production Facilities

Algae Farms and Bio. Labs


Given the fact that the planet's flora was yet not to be tamed, it was clear that mass production of food resources would have to be kept off of the mainland. Thus, the Crayterian technicians devised the infrastructure for large complexes that would use the oceanic environment as a way of producing food.





Numerous "farms" were established and laboratories were built for the purpose of researching the best ways of growing various algae types, as well as fish cultures.
Luckily, the marine wild-life indigenous to the planet was not as obnoxious as its coastal counterpart.
Yuma Settlements


New Corinth

it generates 16.16% of the total GDP, contributing 10% of factory employment, 25% of industrial output, 33% of income tax collections
State and central government employees make up a large percentage of the city's workforce.

The port and shipping industry is well established providing other industrial islands with algae for processing.



Agricultural islands

[Image: XF79huV.png]


The food basket of the Republic , this islands along with it’s sisters form Yuma Ocean Farming Co-operative.

Farm cooperatives aggregate purchases, storage, and distribution of farm inputs for their members. By taking advantage of volume discounts and utilizing other economies of scale, supply cooperatives bring down the cost of the inputs that the members purchase from the cooperative compared with direct purchases from commercial suppliers. Supply cooperatives provide inputs required for agricultural production including seeds, fertilizers, chemicals, fuel, and farm machinery. Some supply cooperatives operate machinery pools that provide mechanical field services to their members.

Also related is Farm Credit Union. They were created in the same periods, with the initial purpose of offering farm loans.

The Co-operatives allowed for some of the influential people to put the funds into and that is how the current agricultural reached it’s peak on Yuma , been able supplement imports of food , thus been no food shortage and to maintain a reserve stock in case of emergency.

The Co-Op used the new Synth crop to the maximum and developed technologies accordingly to be able to increase the yield. The farmers are always looking toward the genetically improved seeds for a better seeds and they are also looking for the time when they can build farms on the soil and to start exploiting the continents of Yuma.

Having around 60.000 people employed , the farms also represent an alternative way of life , other then the urbanistic centers, where people can become farmers

New Hesperius

[Image: image.jpg]

Population: 747.522
Class: Modular Construction
Type: Civilian

The story of Hesperius is a long one. The island started as a small outpost build near the landmasses of Yuma to serve the expeditions to the mainland.

As time passed and the expeditions increased so did the island, having added a small port , a depot , waste recycle , small manufacturing plants , a small hospital and a hydroponic farm.

In time , more and more settlers move and the island growth to it’s current size , having been build as a modular island , hence the hexagons.

The island at it’s current state is having around 750.000 citizens , a number of small industries and a lot of habitable places. Estimates have it that the island can sustain up to 1,3 millions. Amnesties on the island includes everything that a population of that size needs , been relatively self sustainable.




Atmospheric Defense Bases

[Image: image.jpg]


This islands are used by the Atmosphere Defense as their main bases , even though squadrons are present on other islands.

Self sustained , the islands are fully operated by Military Personnel having launching ports at the water level , high-tech flight simulators and hangars for the vessels.

Unlike the Ground Forces , the pilots are having a life of luxury , with larger , individual cabins and more space.


Arctic Production Bases

[Image: Orion_Colony.jpg]


This three bases are on the arctic region , having a number of industries placed there , due to virtually low level of plant life.

The bases are important heavy manufacturing and production hubs , like production of weapons , army equipment , hulls and alloys but they also have a secondary purpose , that of refining deuterium from the ocean water.


Production and Manufacturing Islands

[Image: image.jpg]


The heart of the Republic manufacturing and production, heavily automated.
This islands are the providers of all the consumer goods a growing population needs , also providing the materials for new constructions and sustaining light industries.

The Republic is on the process of moving it’s heavy industries from Pecos , but the Government decided that it was more important for the Nation to have the smaller industries on Yuma.

The products and the materials from this islands are moved to the commerce hubs which redistribute them around the Republic.

The Military Forces are having contracts with this islands to provide for their troops.
The CMI are using also this islands as smelting units for the raw ore that it was mined.

A very large part of the Republic revenue comes from this islands.


Goods Distribution Hubs

[Image: 8f78ac7630c2e7867aff7e887830fa4f.jpg]

The pomping heart of the Republic. This islands are designed as storage units and also as distribution points for all the other islands and for extra-planetary distribution. They are strategically placed along the four cardinal points to provide an equitable distribution of goods and food.


Oceanica

[Image: image.jpg]

Population: 2.445
Class: Stingray
Type: Civilian


New Oceanica is the R&R place of Yuma. The island was build with only one purpose: relaxation.

On the spot are present all types of entertainment , from holo-projection of movies , theaters, spa , diving , casino, pubs and clubs.

Bio-Farms and Fishing Islands

[Image: 26bae0076d9ed1cb56d8d25aa92799eb.jpg]


One of the new models , the islands were designed to be a combination of agricultural and fishing , providing the best of both.

The small harbors are teaming with fishing boats which takes fresh fish to the processing factories , providing the Republic population with a healthy and stead source of proteins.

The Co-Op is using the new Synth crop to the maximum and developed technologies accordingly to be able to increase the yield. The farmers are always looking toward the genetically improved seeds for a better seeds and they are also looking for the time when they can build farms on the soil and to start exploiting the continents of Yuma.


City Islands

[Image: image.jpg]

The City Island -Class of Serpent was constructed as a new and improved design for habitable places. As the population is rising , the Republican Engineers wanted to make sure that there is enough space for all the citizens and that all the needs are met.

This are considered as the ancient City States , having their autonomy and being self sustained , each been able to sustain around 140,000 people, having all the amnesties required to maintain the population.

The islands are not only a simple place to live , but they have their own cultural story and identity , schools and hospitals , even small farming space and fishing harbours , providing all the food the people need and most important , fresh.

There are a number of small artisans and manufacturers that are using that space to open and maintain their business and in the future the Republic is thinking to construct Serpent class islands , as it is cheaper and more efficient



Hospital Islands
