Chapter I: The World of Broncosaurus Rex

In Dinosaur Planet: Broncosaurus Rex , dinosaurs have been

discovered on the planet Cretasus. It is the year 2202, and you are

an adventurer there. The two major factions in human politics –

the Federal Union of Planets and the Confederate States of

America – are rushing to colonize the planet, and your character

joins in.

You could be a bronco rider, riding the dinosaurs for adven-

ture and profit. Perhaps you’re be a soldier: a Union ironclad pilot,

a Federal sheriff or a rebel blockade runner. You could be a street

fighter in search of fortune or a homeworld dissident fighting for

freedom. You could be one of the legendary wild ones, fearsome

humans who leave human company to live with the dinosaurs.

You could be a Union machinist, always equipped with the latest

technology. You could be an idealistic infantryman, a freelance

dino hunter, a warp pirate, a Union turncoat, an outer ranges

explorer, a dino rustler or an alien hunter. The world of

Broncosaurus Rex is in your hands!

The Confederate States of America, still titled as such though

it now occupies hundreds of planets throughout the universe,

views Cretasus as a saving grace. Since being forced off Earth by

the Union, the Confederacy has been scattered across the galaxy.

Cretasus’ fertile soil, plentiful beasts of burden and rich, unspoiled

wilderness could provide a new home base.

The Federal Union of Planets, the most technologically

advanced human nation, is intent on exploiting Cretasus’ natural

resources. The planet’s natural wealth – measured in oil, ore and

timber – is incalculable. It could supply Union industrial opera-

tions for years to come.

Cretasus is a gold mine waiting to be claimed. But the ques-

tion remains: Who will claim it?

The Planet

Cretasus is a Jupiter-sized planet with Earth-like terrain. Its

air is breathable by humans, and many of its native plants can be

eaten safely. The densely forested equatorial belt is a single,

unbroken land mass, which fractures into thousands of islands as

it approaches the poles. Overlaid across the land are enormous

mountain ranges that divide the surface into twenty great valleys.

Every terrain on Earth is found on Cretasus, as well as some

that are unique, such as the thousand-foot-tall spider web forests

of the equatorial regions or the glacial “mushrooms” formed by

rivers of molten lava that flow under the polar wastelands.

Cretasus has two moons, as well as thousands of asteroids in

a low-lying orbit. Most of the asteroids are less than a football

field in length and do nothing but obstruct the view. A few are

larger, however, and have provided anchors for satellites, landing

platforms and orbital weapons.

The sheer size of Cretasus has prevented any comprehensive

survey of its life forms. Though the Confederacy knows much

more of its taxonomy than the Union, they still have catalogued

less than 1 percent of the planet’s species.

In the regions where they have settled, the Confederate set-

tlers have identified hundreds of varieties of dinosaurs virtually

identical to those once found on Earth. They also have found

unique endemic species, including giant insects, highly evolved

land-dwelling jellyfish and bipedal pre-sentient reptilians.

Prehistoric mammals have been sighted in neighboring

regions, engendering theories that the planet’s massive surface

area has created numerous micro-climates separated by mountains

or other impassable terrain. Some micro-climates have remained

Cretasus: Dinosaur Planet

The planet Cretasus lies at the far edges of known space, in a

desolate region called the outer reaches. A large world in a lonely,

sparsely-settled system, Cretasus is strangely earthlike. Its atmos-

phere, climate and seasons all resemble those on Earth. Strangest

of all, its flora and fauna are like Earth’s – but not like the Earth

of today. Cretasus is home to plants and animals that have not

roamed our planet for millions of years. Cretasus is home to

dinosaurs.

Since the discovery of this fact, humans have flocked to

Cretasus. Adventurers come for wealth and glory, ranchers come

for the dinosaurs, farmers come for the fertile soil, frontiersmen

come for a new life, and dino hunters come for the challenge.

Industrialists come for the mineral wealth, the military comes for

exploration, the Free Fleet traders come to meet growing demand,

and the wild ones come to join the dinosaurs. It seems that every-

one has come – but no one yet governs.

Cretasus is far outside established political borders.

Humanity’s two largest factions – the Federal Union of Planets

and the Confederate States of America – struggle for possession.

Cretasus’ Earth-like environment and abundance of dinosaurs

have brought it to the forefront of galactic politics. Although the

Union and Confederacy ceased open warfare long ago, they have

never ended hostilities. Now the battle for Cretasus threatens to

re-open a centuries-old conflict.
