The **Colonist Survivors** were a group of Humans that began as a simple colony on an unnamed Colony planet, led and founded by Captain Jack Roberts. They soon became engaged in a Colony War against the DRF (Drone Reactionary Force) and later participated in the Green Drone War, where the surviving members officially became RWI (Red Wood Industries) personnel.

## History

### Formation

At some point before the beginning of 'Space Engineers: Colony Survival', Captain Jack Roberts departed from Red Wood Industries for unknown reasons to form his own colony somewhere in the galaxy. Jack recruited Craz and Venom, his good friends from CNL (Crazy North Logistics) and RCSP (Royal Coalition of Spatial Protection), respectively, as his first officers (second-in-command) and set about the mission. The other seven Colonists who joined Jack were Finchy, iValz, ZeFightingFish, Argo, T-Man, Death-Dealer, and Dark Lord.

### Cold War

The Colonists lived peacefully on their planet for some time, until multiple mysterious encounters with unfamiliar technology began plaguing them. One day, their base was attacked by several A-Bot drones belonging to the DRF (Drone Reactionary Force). This was only the beginning of their conflicts, however, as another major encounter would occur during the mission to recover Finn and Max from their crashed ship. At another point, iValz's gunship was stolen, and iValz himself was kidnapped when the rest of the team launched a mission to reclaim it from a DRF outpost. Eventually, the DRF attacked in such a large force that the Colonists' base was mostly destroyed, forcing them to flee in their rocket and build a space base called Watchtower Station.

However, this was not the end of their encounters with the DRF, as there were multiple occurrences in which DRF starships attacked Watchtower. Meanwhile, the Colonists' old base was being used as a drone production facility, overseen by Arron, the leader of the DRF. The Colonists soon launched a mission to reclaim their old base, but it went poorly and resulted in their starships all being destroyed. Fortunately, Captain Roberts' distress call was intercepted by Typhun, who rescued them in his ship, the CSS *Dawn*, and brought them back to Watchtower. Unfortunately, the DRF retaliated harshly for the loss of their production plant, and sent the Colonists fleeing unintentionally to the vicinity of the DRF Hive Base. Roberts sent a strike team, comprised of Finchy, Dark Lord, Max, Argo, T-Man, and Death-Dealer, to infiltrate and destroy the Hive. Meanwhile, the continuous attacks on Watchtower forced the remaining Colonists - Roberts, Craz, Venom, Finn, and Typhun - to evacuate on the *Dawn*, but they were shot down while en route and crashed a short distance away from their old base. However, the strike team was semi-successful; they managed to sabotage the Hive and caused it to split in two, but all six men were captured and brainwashed into DRF soldiers.
