Background
No one quite remembers how or when the main ammonia world in New Buffalo was colonized. But no one doubts why: the Space Elevator, and the presence of vigorous - if non-sentient - ammonia-based life. The dynamic ecosystem contains thousands upon thousands of species yet to be discovered. Most, sad to say, are also large and ravenous, and more than willing to take a bite out of any person caught out in a bad situation.
The Space Elevator's mysteries have proven impossible to crack. It's there, it works, it doesn't seem like it can break (even after several attempts, intentional and not). A species call "krill," it was discovered, was pretty useful. With minimal processing, it could be eaten. It could be a chemical fuel. It was recognized as biomass by Topiary. The Space Elevator made mass shipments economically profitable.
Currently, combines run the planet. They intentionally keep tech levels down so as to keep a labor force dependent on the local combine. Given the opportunity, everyone would move to someplace better. The combines make sure those opportunities are few and far between.
Aspects
- Ice krill: so many uses
- If it keeps you warm, it's okay
- Working space elevator of unknown origin
