Recommended Reading: A New Life Awaits You!

When escaping to the stars, one must remember a few "spoiling factors" that could ruin one's new life. 
# Baggage left behind is likely to catch up to you. The culture of the past that destroyed the Old World may be developing in the New World. Those issues show up in the second factor.
# Corruption—avarice, xenophobia, and other evils. The issues left in the Old World may grow here too if not stopped. The same "dominion of mankind" concepts that tore up the last world may very well destroy the next.
If one can build their new world free of prejudice, xenophobia and greed, perhaps they can hold on to this new paradise.

* Metamorphosis Alpha from Mudpuppy Games — It's all about getting there. Aliens douse a massive colony vessel in radioactive gas that destroys most of the crew and mutates the flora and fauna aboard, even corrupting the AIs. Some humans still survive in suspended animation. Now the humans must use the ship's AI systems to build a robot army to retake the ship. This campaign has multiple phases that deal with building the bots, retaking the ship, and eventually attacking the asteroid from which the alien invaders arrived.
* Dinosaur Planet: Broncosaurus Rex — Cowboys and dinosaurs. You gotta have cowboys and dinosaurs.
* Deadlands: Lost Colony — Space cowboys minin' Ghost Rock, a key component that makes everythin' work! They've received word that the mainland is in apocalyptic danger, just before the signal goes dark. The colonists have to wrap up their wars with the Anouk or they're'll be no more cowboys in space!
* Blue Planet — A "gold rush" starts on the planet of Poseidon due to a xenosilicate (nicknamed "Long John") that can halt aging. Clashes arise between the corporate powers, ecoterrorists, native insurgents and Earth-sent peacekeepers. This new planet could be Earth's salvation, but not if it's gouged out and bottled by the corps first.
