== Introduction ==
Project Three Moons is a very large organization, with launch sites on both continents and employees from all of the ten tribes. Thus, it can be difficult to make sense of some of the inner workings of the Project. This file contains information on the organization of the Project as well as other miscellaneous information.
== List of Facilities ==
=== Launch Center PRH ===
The main HQ for Project Three Moons. Has a large launchpad where most of the rockets are launched, as well as vast storage warehouses, recordkeeping areas, communications buildings, offices, and the rocket construction facility. Located on an island in the Bay of a Thousand Scales, Kingdom of the Sea, Pyrrhia.
=== Launch Center PNT ===
The secondary HQ of the Project. Launch Center PNT has a smaller launchpad for smaller rocket launches and is mainly used for information gathering and logistical operations. Located near Lake Scorpion, LeafSilk Kingdom, Pantala.
=== Field Offices ===
There are a few small field offices for the project scattered around both continents. These are used for PTM recruiting, logistics management, and information gathering.

== Timeline ==
The year is 5,015 AS. In the Kingdom of the Sea, Project Three Moons is founded by a SeaWing named Seahorse as a small team of friends to research the moons and other celestial bodies.
The Project started slow. Work didn't get done, as most of the members of the team were busy with work and other duties in the kingdom.
Eventually, in around 5,018 AS, the Project would go from drawing pictures of stars and fantasizing about the moons to an actual organization, with the crucial invention of the telescope. One of the founding members of the team came up with a magnifying telescope to get better looks at the stars. Over the years, this would be refined. But the telescope brought some popularity to the Project.
It wouldn't be long until the royal family got wind of Project Three Moons. In 5,019 AS, the SeaWing Royal Family would charter the Project and give it access to royal funding. The Project would really start to pick up the pace here, as now they were able to hire new employees and research new technologies.
In 5,022, the Project's top officials decided it was time for them to go from looking at the moons to actually standing on the moons. They planned to put a dragon on an actual moon. An extremely ambitious project, but the SeaWings were all for it.
After much debate, the first design they settled on was called the Dragonflame. It was a medium-sized rocket with a large blast chamber filled with explosive dragonflame cactus, which would propel the rocket up. The first iteration exploded on the launchpad, injuring three staff members. More designs of the Dragonflame included reinforced blast chambers, but this design was scrapped as it was too heavy for the rocket to be able to move. The project was cancelled.
The second design they came up with was called the Kangaroo, which was powered by pressurized air. This also failed. The rocket got about 50 feet off the ground, but crashed into the launchpad. It took months to clean up the debris and repair the pad, so this was also cancelled.
At this point, the Project was failing. The SeaWings were getting impatient. The queen was frustrated that the Project was taking up so many resources and had very little to show for it. To save their reputation and royal charter, the Project came up with a last-ditch vehicle, which they named the Hurler.
The Hurler did not make it to space, but it was partially successful. It was a small pod with pressure tanks for steering and seating for astronauts. It would be flung to space by a giant catapult. Due to its smaller design, the shuttle was much lighter. The pod flew through the air, about 300 feet into the sky, before falling back down and landing in the ocean. Recovery of the pod was hard, but it was mostly intact and dry inside.
The Project's science team was excited, and they began further research into the Hurler. However, problems with logistics made the research slow down and eventually stop.
Many thought the Project was done for at this point. What they didn't expect was for an eight-year old dragonet to be their saving grace.
[REDACTED] is one of Prince Turtle of the SeaWings' sons. He inherited his father's power, allowing for him to be able to use animus magic. He took an interest in outer space exploration, and was ecstatic when he discovered Project Three Moons at the age of eight. He signed up for the engineering team, hoping that he would be able to turn around the Project's failures. He did, but not in the way that he expected.
When his coworkers found out he was an animus, they told their supervisor. The information got passed from employee to employee until finally, it reached the tippy top. Commander Seahorse, head of the Project, found out about [REDACTED]'s animus powers, and he immediately set up a talk with him.
[REDACTED] and Commander Seahorse had a discussion about his powers, and eventually, Seahorse proposed that they make a rocket that wasn't powered by explosions or air, but by magic. [REDACTED], eager to help out, accepted and offered his power to the Project in hopes that they could finally complete their goal.
In 5,030, he enchanted multiple power cells for the Project. These cells were enchanted to help rocket propulsion work correctly, protect dragons inside the rocket from freezing or burning, and give them oxygen so that the astronauts could breathe. Everything seemed good to go.
Without constraints such as engines or weight problems, the biggest vehicle to date was built by the Project: the PTMS Ambassador. It was a large starship with multiple cabins, an observatory, recordkeeping rooms, and even recreational spaces. They also enchanted spacesuits which would protect any dragon inside. With everything good to go, the launch was scheduled, and in 5,030 AS, the first successful launch of a rocket proceeded.
The launch was a huge success. The Ambassador flew to the moon Imperial, made twenty orbits, and flew back with no problems.
The world exploded with the news. PTM had done it! They had flown dragons to the moon. Plans were immediately drawn up to actually land a dragon on a moon, and the SeaWings continued support of the Project. [REDACTED] was hailed as a national hero and was given the nickname "The Founder" for helping to start the era of modern space travel.
In 5,031, the first mission to actually land on one of the moons was planned, approved, and started. The Ambassador would fly to Perception (which was the closest moon to the Dragon Planet at the time) and land dragons on the moon where they would study the surface for about two days, then fly home. The Ambassador was launched and arrived at Perception on-schedule. Lieutenant Acorn and Captain Komodo were selected to be the field researchers, as well as a crew of about a dozen other dragonnel to help operate, navigate, and other duties.
As the Ambassador touched down on Perception, Acorn and Komodo suited up in their enchanted spacesuits and took the first steps on the moon. The world had been dreaming for centuries about what it was like on the moon, and now they knew. The world went crazy with the news, even more so than when the Ambassador had completed its maiden voyage. Royal funding for the Project quadrupled. PTM knew they were expanding the frontier for all of dragonkind.
The Ambassador returned and the crew was once again hailed as heroes. Moon rocks and other samples of the lunar surface were brought back, and the research crew had a huge field day with that.
In the meantime, PTM officials ordered the construction of more rockets. While they were being built, not much happened. A lot of their time was spent covering logistics and construction projects. Some more missions to orbit the moons were ordered, but nothing of significance really happened.
By 5,037 AS, Project Three Moons had a brand-new fleet of 16 starships. These ships were assigned crews, and Project Three Moons high officials started a new program to explore the distant cosmos. They planned on discovering new planets, plant and animal species, and possibly establish colonies on some. This program was widely approved by the whole world. Another part of the new orders was to turn the Project from a mostly SeaWing program into a worldwide effort with all the dragon tribes. Recruiting efforts increased, and the Project's employment rates shot up very quickly.
A year later, a disaster would strike. The Project was growing so fast, and an unknown group, for whatever reason, wanted to stop it. In 5,038 AS, an assassination attempt was carried out on "The Founder". Multiple unidentified beings of unknown tribes approached The Founder while he was overseeing rocket construction and attacked him with claws and fire.
Luckily, The Founder would manage to survive this. He quickly used animus magic to defend himself, and nearby security teams responded extremely quickly. Once the assailants realized that they were in big trouble, they fled the scene. The SeaWing government declared these individuals to be extremely dangerous national criminals, and a huge dragonhunt was ordered. However, the assassins were never found. Some believe they fled to a distant island or even Pantala, but these are just rumors. After the incident, all information about The Founder was declared strictly classified. The Founder was placed under constant surveillance and protection by a personal squadron of four bodyguards at all times for his own safety.
Around this time, PTM was issuing its third modern mission and the most ambitious one so far. They would take landing on the moon one step further. They were going to establish a colony on Perception.
