Crash Coast

**Crash Coast** was a settlement on the planet Cephor III, originally founded by three outlander settlers: Kelle Volpo, Dev Di'Lora, and Paulina Noble.

## Description

Crash Coast was located along the southwestern coast of Cephor III's supercontinent, situated in a dense boreal forest region where stone (marble, granite, and steel) and ironwood were abundant. The town and the forest surrounding it shared a rather cold climate that often saw snowfall.

The entire town was surrounded by thick granite walls on three sides and by an icy sea to the west. The town primarily relied on wind turbines and solar panels as renewable energy sources. The main source of food for Crash Coast were vegetables like corn, rice, and potatoes grown in several different greenhouses found throughout town. The town would often sell most of its crop surplus to neighboring settlements.

Most of the buildings in Crash Coast were built using steel mined from nearby rocky deposits, reinforced by ironwood collected from the boreal forest that surrounded town. Within Crash Coast were two big communal storerooms for the town's supplies, multiple bedrooms both single and shared, a walk-in freezer, a communal kitchen and dining hall, a medical bay, a recreation room, two workshops, a small classroom for the children of the colony, a small town prison, and several greenhouses where all of the town's crops were grown.

## History

### Founding of Crash Coast

Sometime during the 6th millennium ASA, a group of three spacefarers—the privateer Kelle Volpo, settler Dev Di'Lora, and the logger Paulina Noble—suddenly crash-landed on Cephor III after a malfunction in their ship's systems. While assumed to have been a freak accident, the malfunction was actually the purposeful work of LANDER, a highly secretive research organization known for crashing ships with small passenger counts for observation purposes.

Slowly but surely, Volpo, Di'Lora, and Noble made a new home for themselves by the southwestern coast of the planet's supercontinent. They named their small settlement Crash Coast, in reference to the area having been their crash site.

### A Growing Community

Over the many years following Crash Coast's initial foundation, a good number of people from around the Cassiopeia Galaxy and from other parts of Cephor III came to Crash Coast in some fashion and decided to call the settlement home. The first new citizen was the pirate Joshua Macer, who once raided Crash Coast but failed. While captured, Macer managed to become convinced by the other town founders to change his ways and to use his skills to contribute to something more productive. Macer eventually became a member of the community after a change of heart.

The second and third citizens were the scientist Gamma Pineda and her adopted son Fabio Pineda, who arrived in search of supplies. The mother and son took a liking to Crash Coast and decided to settle down within the colony and contribute to the life of the community.

## Inhabitants

Within the first few years of its founding, Crash Coast was home to a small population of people who came from all different parts of the galaxy, if they were not already Cephorian.
