Welcome to Banshee

Welcome to Banshee
Welcome to Banshee
The system was named Faraway for obvious
reasons. The one habitable planet was named
Banshee because of the strong winds that
constantly howled across its surface. Those
winds are something you’ll need to get used to.
A lot of spacers find them kind of unsettling,
but after a while you’ll get used to ‘em.
Howdy, recruit. Name’s Dallas. Debbi Dallas.
Make a crack about my name and I’ll do the
same to your head. Sorry. I’m just kinda touchy
about that. Daddy was a marine and, well, he
liked the classics. What can I say?
So you’ve come down from one of the space
stations to live on Banshee. Why in Hell would
anyone want to do that? As bad as the raiders,
asteroid collisions, and explosive
decompression can be, they’re nothing
compared to what’s going on down here.
Oh, you had family down here, huh? And
you haven’t heard from them in a while. Well,
we’ll help you track ‘em, but it isn’t going to be
easy. And you’re going to need to know what’s
been going on down here since we all got
abandoned. Since we became the “Lost Colony.”
I spent some time on a space station myself,
so I know spacers have their own version of
what’s going on down here. You may have
heard some of this, but I guess I’ll start at the
beginning and give you the true version—or at
least the Ranger version—of Banshee’s history.
I’ve got this fancy “palmcorder” thingie so, I’ll
just leave it on while I fill you in. That way you
can take it with you and I won’t have to repeat
it for the next newbie. If we get lucky, I’ll even
make one of the Ranger wannabes go back
and throw some pictures in so you’ll know the
difference between a sticky bug and a skinny.
Let’s start at the beginning to make this
sucker as complete as possible.
The Tunnel
Hellstromme Industries built the Tunnel, a
giant space station that could open a rift in
space and allow ships to travel back and forth
between Earth and Banshee. Since no one
knew how Hellstromme’s portal technology
worked except for the big man himself, this
gave HI a total monopoly over travel in and out
of Faraway.
For the first few years after the planet was
discovered, most of the people traveling to
Faraway were egghead scientists and explorers
looking for adventure. Unfortunately, that soon
changed.
The Rock Rush
A geologist by the name of Hauptmann did
a survey of Earth’s ghost rock deposits and
came to the conclusion that there was less
than a 20 year supply left at the world’s
current consumption rate. Stuff hit the fan
when he published his work. Countries all over
the world started looking jealously across their
borders at their neighbors ghost rock mines. It’s
been said that money is the root of all evil, I’m
not so sure it isn’t ghost rock.
The survey didn’t affect Banshee at first. But
then in 2052, a geological team sponsored by
the European Confederation discovered the
damn stuff in Faraway. Large deposits were
found on Banshee itself and in the system’s
asteroid belt. Once the news got out, hundreds
of thousands of miners flooded through the
Tunnel looking to get rich—the Rock Rush was
on.
Hundreds of boomtowns sprang up
overnight. Along with the miners came all the
usual riffraff looking to make a buck: saloon
owners, outfitters, hookers, and professional
gamblers. It was like the Wild West with
speeder bikes and really big guns that can fire
a couple thousand rounds a minute.
Hellstromme Industries
Hellstromme Industries was always a leader
in advanced tech, so it really wasn’t much of a
surprise when Dr. Hellstromme announced
that his company was the first to build an
interstellar portal. The shocker was that one of
the first probes launched through it found a
planet with life on it—intelligent life. The next
step was to send a ship with a human crew
through and establish contact. Of course, never
being much for the social graces, the
Hellstromme Marines that made first contact
with the anouks slaughtered a few hundred of
them before they realized they were peaceful—
an omen of what was to come.
