Khantze Lu Ge is Earth's first extrasolar colony, founded by China in 2087.
Overview[]
Khantze Lu Ge is slightly smaller than Earth and orbits the start Alpha Centauri B. This dim, cool planet is made habitable with terraforming technology, including air regulators that thicken the atmosphere and hydroponic gardens that feed the population of roughly three million.
History[]
China launched its colonization mission in 2075, piggybacking it onto a comet to conserve fuel. They sent additional unmanned supply ships to pursue the colonists, who landed in 2087. The colonists labored in effective isolation for many years, until the Psi Orders revealed themselves in 2106. For a few years, the Upeo wa Macho facilitated far closer ties to Earth, and a wave of newcomers joined the original colonists, to the latter's discontent. In 2114, however, the Upeos left Earth, and the LuGeians were alone again.
During this period of isolation, Aberrants attacked the colony and seized the northern city of Kuan. Other cities — Neu Berlin, P'eng-lai and Lu Yen — were embattled but held their ground. Seeing the colony cut off from Earth, the Aberrants saw no reason to rush to complete the conquest. The Leviathan jumpship Svaha was dispatched to Khantze Lu Ge to determine the fate of the colony, and sent a call for aid back to Earth.
