AT THE EDGE OF A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY, a small planet has been discovered, rife with life both intelligent and not.  An independent corporation spreading across the known universe, the Department of Protected Inhabited Planets has laid claim to the planet, dubbing it a protected zone under its control. They have set up small colonies run by scientists, researchers, and the like from all corners of the universe. You have been invited to put in your name for a colony, where you can protect special creatures seen nowhere else in the galaxy. You may do what you wish with your colonists - they are under your command. Just be careful - the DPIP is always watching.
