 ===== Overview =====
-In late 2626, ExoHuman engineers broke ground on the Solar Park—a 100 MW photovoltaic macro-farm carved into the red sands of the Tijonara Desert. A flagship of post-Crash ambition, its vast fields of canopy-style panels were intended to feed Tier-2 Trickle ERNs across the Habitual Belt via DC transmission lines. Persistent dust storms, supply-chain bottlenecks, and rapid panel fouling stalled work, and construction ground to a halt at roughly 20 % completion when the [[great_war|Great War]] erupted in 2629. Though never finished, the Solar Park stands as the largest centralized solar attempt on VOI 700 D, its skeletal support frames ticking in the night wind.

 ==== Beta Age (2626–2629) ====
-A shimmering mirage of silver-framed panels stretched across cracked red earth, punctuated by half-erected support towers. Dust devils danced among scaffold lines as sun-burnt technicians in reflective overalls clambered atop unfinished arrays. Supply convoys rattled in from New Kourou over sand-blasted tracks; each shipment of PV cells was cheered like water in a desert. At dusk, emergency lamps glowed beneath the panels’ blank expanse, casting long, skeletal shadows. The wind carried the hiss of pneumatic riveters and the metallic clang of loose scaffolds—a testament to ExoHuman resolve under a merciless sun.

Dust devils twirled among scaffold lines as sun-burnt technicians in mirrored overalls and [[maintenance_bots|Maintenance Bots]] clambered atop unfinished arrays to secure photovoltaic mounts. Supply Caravans of the [[new_kourou_courier_service|New Kourou Courier Service]] rattled in from New Kourou over sand-blasted tracks; each shipment of PV cells was greeted like precious water. The midday glare off unshaded steel made the air shimmer, and every weld hissed under the heat. The wind carried the rhythmic clank of pneumatic riveters and the metallic echo of loose scaffolds — a testament to ExoHuman determination beneath an unending, blazing sky.

-Now, the Solar Park is a graveyard of corroded struts and empty panel racks. Wind-scoured dunes have reclaimed half the site, swirling sand over rust-pitted conduits. Occasional, still-functional modules—salvaged by Relay Station crews—gleam faintly in twilight, powering microbial-cell backups for shortwave arrays. Desert rats and scavenger drones pick at exposed wiring, while solitary storm-warning beacons stand bleached and silent. The deserted access road echoes with the whistle of passing winds—a haunted monument to unfulfilled dreams.

-Stormbreak Sabotage – As the Solar Park nears its inaugural test in mid-2628, convoys of brand-new PV panels vanish en route under cover of a towering sandstorm. The PCs are hired by the [[free_state_of_settlers|Free State of Settlers]] to escort the next shipment, unmask the saboteurs in the logistic chain—be they tribal raiders, rival Trade Guild agents, or disgruntled labor droids—and ensure the park’s activation survives VOI 700 D’s relentless dust.

Deputized by the [[federal_sheriff|Federal Sheriff]], the PCs must navigate shifting dunes, infiltrate the gang’s makeshift camp, recover the stolen panels, and decide whether to return them to the Federal Allotment Agency or cut a secret deal for their own gain.
