Life on Terra Nova (1e)
 |
 |
The harsh world of Terra Nova was once the jewel in Earth's colonial crown¸ but it was eventually abandoned and forced to fend for itself. The planet has thrived since then. Home to 250 million humans¸ this once marginal world is now home to diverse cultures and belligerent nations. The confederations that rule the hemispheres are poised on the verge of war¸ trapping the desertic Badlands in the middle. Intrigue and action blend across the world as a global conflict begins.
Desert tempests one hundred times more powerful than a hurricane...
Steaming tropical jungles teeming with reptilian predators...
Verdant agricultural valleys nestled among snow-capped mountains...
Sprawling metropolises alive with the heartbeat of humanity...
...are all common sights in the 62nd century.
Welcome to Terra Nova¸ the savage¸ sun-scorched world that humanity's hardiest pioneers call home.
