@SCENARIO @width=600 @title=%STRING0 ^^Length: %STRING1 to %STRING2 After the devastation on Earth in the late 2030's, which resulted in the expanded settling of the planet Centauri in the Alpha Centauri system, the various nationalities that were represented on Centauri lived in peace for a time. But near the turn of the 24th Century, it was apparent that conflict was again going to reign on human habitation. In the early 2300's, new technology developed on Centauri, enabled humanity to reach out to the stars through teleportation. All that was required was for suitable star systems and planets to be located. The technology did not allow for anything metallic, ceramic or composite to be teleported. This resulted in a one way trip for living humans. As tensions rose on Centauri, more and more experimental trips were made. Of course, nothing was ever heard of the travelers again. One of the most promising planetary systems contained a lush planet that appeared to be a veritable paradise. The planet became known as Paradise. All of the cultures except the French teleported many colonists there. The Germans, it turns out, had discovered Paradise from Earth and got the last colony ship off before the earth was destroyed. As a result of the last minute nature of this German colony ship, no equipment to speak of was transported, only people. The Germans arrived near the same time as the Centauri teleporters. This is their story. The Americans are the intended human player and have 1 city and Literacy. The English start in a normal game playing mode. The Spanish start in a normal game playing mode.
