After the initial colonization of Londinum
and Sihnon, Bernadette was the first planet to be
terraformed and settled by humanity. The only
remaining ship that brought the folk who made the
Exodus stands in the capital city of New Paris as a
monument to their courage. The ark is a monstrous
starship, at least five times the size of an Alliance
cruise. The sheer sight of the ark inspires all manner
of awe and jaw-dropping. The inside of the ark
is a museum containing information about the
journey, and also information on the cultures and
history of Earth-That-Was. The great ark is named
Prometheus, after the legendary god who gave man
fire.
Bernadette is a traditional launching point for
those leaving to settle on other worlds. Settlers
arrive here from other planets on the Core and make
preparations to set off for a new life on the Rim.
Many businesses cater to these settlers, selling tools
and supplies.
Best watch your step here. There is an
underground slave-trade on Bernadette. Settlers are
captured and hauled off to work on terraforming
stations. The slavers are smart enough to leave locals
alone. They figure outsiders won’t be missed.
Bernadette is also home to many churches and
religious groups. Buddhists and Christians rub
shoulders with Islamic clerics and Hindu fakirs. In
addition, the planet is home to a number of fringe
cults and fanatical devotees.
Bernadette is a restricted landing zone. However,
if you claim to be a settler or you have a group of
kiddies on board for a field trip to see the ark, you’re
usually welcome.
