‘Twas after the Great Flight, that Man found a new home in the stars. A globe of brown, spinnin' alone in the vast, twinkling aether. In time, our ships anchored on this world. Our cities grew up around them. Tall, impressive and proud; each believing that all others must join under their banners.
After the Grit Engagements that saw Captain Merrimack's’ Independents lose, them’s now called Deserters, left their city-ships and drifted to the Frontier, deep in the dunes of Dust. Out there people struggle to make ends meet. Gettin’ by on the barest of means. But they’re free. There they made settlements, small etchings of “civilization” atwixt the desolate sands; oases’ that offer some respite to the weary traveller. 'Course 'taint easy pickings nowhere. Even in the largest Central's, poverty and squalor are the only things that seem plentiful to be provided; kept at bay only day to day.
For the purely kind, wretched weak, and mildly meek, Dust is a death sentence. But for man with clear vision, a big iron, and lots of gumption, Dust is an opportunity to thrive...

Hello! And welcome to one of my many home-brewed adventures that has plagued my mind for ages
Hopefully we can get a rough-in-tumble motley crew and enjoy some fun the far future's distant past. If this takes off, eventually, I'd like to host an established group, since I'd love to share the many google doc pages I have of lore and adventure with many others. Below is a little cultured blurb of OOC intro that explains the general situation of our setting. Have a gander:
=============================================================================
The story of Dust takes place in an alternate timeline, when a series of events causes widespread devastation and unrest on Earth during the Victorian age. Fortunately space travel is a viable method of escaping the planet! Devised sometime in the mid- or late- 1800s by the minds of the great thinkers of the time. Countless ships were built, by all manner of nations, organizations and entrepreneurs. Together, they will carry hundreds of thousands of people to the furthest reaches of the stars. This is the story of a few characters, and their descendants, aboard one of these ship flotillas that managed to find emergency landfall on the world of Dust.
===============================================================================
Currently, I and another player are running a scenario in the Dust-verse called Empire Express. An adventure on the building of the Trans-Terra Salus Railroad, during the events of the Manifest Conquest, a technology race as humanity seeked to expand its territories, and as the land-grab fever of the Inward Expansion takes hold.
In the words of a Dust-verse Rail Baron, “A railroad would bring you work, a gun would help you keep it. A railroad mans goal was simple: Work hard, stay alive, Keep the train rolling. And above all else, make money.” Full of opportunity for parties to do good and questionable deeds, all in the name of their private motivations. And we'd love it if you decided to join us!

On very, very, rare occasions there may be unexplained, POSSIBLY supernatural events. Minor "environmental" magic. Perhaps implies the existence of a deity or supernatural entity. Or perhaps it's just tricks?
Industrial revolution
Combat is woven into the storyline and could come to the forefront if the characters seek it out.
Details: Freeform, adjustable length posts, long-term RP partner preferred.
