District Null

The year is 2438. After nineteen years of planning, the Colonial Authority is ready to settle AZ884, a planet almost twice the size of Earth and packed with resources: kryptonite in open crystal fields, glowing spice drifting in a blue lava river, pig iron in a cliff face kilometres high. Yet life down there is barely possible. The purple north lies under a toxic blanket of sulfur, methane and chlorine gas, acid rain falls, and only a handful of settlements are clinging on. Your story begins in the command center of a colony ship high above the planet. The General briefs the crew and hands you the job: found the new district in the north. Bit, a small support robot, version 17.8.6, is assigned to your side, and together you dive through the clouds to the start zone below the great stone wall. As the new District Lord you build a city out of nothing, fight the smog, mine the riches of the planet and defend what you have built. Prove yourself and the General will put you in charge of the giant drill project. And far to the south, the green and still unexplored half of AZ884, called Cibola, is waiting.
