Carnivores: Legacy

***Carnivores: Legacy*** is a total conversion mod for *Carnivores 2* and a reimagining of *Carnivores*, taking place in the East Central Sector at the beginning of the Carnivores timeline. The mod received its first, nearly complete release on November 30th, 2023.

## Synopsis

In 2190, exoplanet explorer Turan Choks discovered FMM UV-32 during a routine expedition. Despite the planet's rich biosphere, it was declared inhospitable for human colonization due to high volcanic activity and large amounts of carnivorous alien life. The planet was subsequently abandoned and remained uninhabited and largely unexplored.

Despite being suboptimal for colonization, FMM UV-32 gained a reputation for its unusual alien life, much of which bears great resemblance to prehistoric animals from Earth. The "Dinosaur Planet" grew infamous among Earth and her colonies, eventually drawing the attention of entrepreneur Elias Henriksen.

> Hello Elias. You are a very ambitious man, aren't you? I don't know anyone else who would spend a fortune buying a valueless planet. Not just any planet, a planet without any known resources, a planet so unstable that colonization is hopeless, a planet filled to the brim with hostile alien life. Most people would realize their mistake and try to sell it to some other sucker. You're starting a hunting tour. That's why I like you.
>
> — Serhiy Vereschagin, DHC Benefactor

In the 2250s, Elias Henriksen purchased FMM UV-32 and formed the DinoHunt Corporation with the help of investors and a benefactor, Serhiy Vereschagin. Elias avoided attempts to colonize the planet, and instead sought to turn the planet into a great game reserve, enticing hunters with the chance of hunting real dinosaurs. DinoHunt Corporation developed custom technology, purchased weapons in bulk, and surveyed the planet for the best locations and creatures to hunt.

In 2260, the first hunting tour on the Dinosaur Planet opened, becoming a major success among wealthy customers. Despite this success, Vereschagin would encourage Henriksen to push his luck further to expand his company's power, citing the Dinosaur Planet's limitless potential.

> This planet is almost untouched by mankind’s dirty hands. There are vast continents still unexplored and millions of species uncatalogued. It is ripe for exploitation, a fruit in your hands. Bite into it. Think of what you could do: continent spanning hunting reserves from pole to pole, colonies dotting islands trading DinoHunt taxed goods, great traveling zoos of dinosaurs and industrial synapsid farms, distant worlds with economies dependent on your planet and your company.
>
> Soon you will be making more money than you have ever known. Resist your instincts, do not be reserved, do not play it safe, do not tap out. Your opportunity is like no other in the galaxy. Seize it.
