As
the Prydian civil war rumbled and then began to roar its way across
the Prydian Precinct there started to emerge a need for more
structures. While the Seorc Compono Guild (SCG) revolutionised rapid
settlement construction with the Habitation Dome Riser System (HDRS)
the hugely successful 'Hab Domes' were still time consuming to ship
across the core systems and beyond and also to assemble once at their
destination. Added to that the twin arising demands for structures
suitable for friendly atmospheres (non lethal) at a lower cost and
the increasing numbers of war disposed and the pioneers of SEORC put
their minds to the challenge. Ubiquitous Rubbacrete and Golglass
were too heavy and expensive (titanium alloy being at a premium) and
there was no need for towers and landing pads this time.
The
solution lay in the Kabeatan research station on New Glastonbury. At
the northern pole this station sat atop a deep dig into the ice. The
workers, fabricators and seekers who resided there did so in a little
used SEORC design; the Geo Shelter. The Geo Shelters were made of a
thin titanium alloy skeleton with a dense carbon weave fabric
stretched over it. Resistant to cold but simple and durable these
structures were used as Accommodation and as Storage was well as for
Laboratories with purpose made components added to them to suit their
functions. There was even a Defender version armed with a Moth 88
Rotary cannon in a turret mount a defence against roving packs of
Darga which ranged across the tundra. These SEORC Geo Shelters
fitted the bill and a massive fabrication plant was founded.
While
lacking the more permanent facilities of Hab Domes the SEORC Geo
Shelters were shipped out in their millions all across the Precinct
and used by patrolling troops of all sides in the conflict as well as
by researchers. But the biggest beneficiaries of the SEORC Geo
Shelters were the normal people who had lost everything in a war that
was seemingly ever lasting. Anywhere you travel in space you will
see these structures in all their variety.

We
would like to thank everyone who took us up on the Early Supporter
Offers over the last two weeks on these great new models. All orders
are in the mail as of now. One of the greatest thrills of the promo
period was Sam Croes (designer of the Geo Shelters, Hab Dome and
Corbal Depoloyable Hardpoint) writing an article on painting up the
Geo Shelters for the Red Planet for Mars. You can read it HERE and
its really good.

We
are now at the two thirds point of our birthday month and its a great
month for us and for all of you from the look of it too. Thanks for
all your emails of encouragement and asking just what is next. No
clues from me but lets just say next week will have to revving your
Adder engines and then in September we are getting our wheels on.
The ESO is over and a small mountain of Geo Shelters is now on its
way around the world and the Corbal offer is at an end too. I have
been pleasantly surprised at the uptake on the Corbal kit but it does
seem to have struck a note with those look for something a little
more space opera than usual. We are getting nice feedback on the
current free miniature IMP12 Starvaulter Instructor which has a week
or so left before being take off free in all orders status. There is
also just over a week left on our birthday freebie offer of roughly
ten percent of product value in our choice of miniatures and terrain
being put in your order. Lastly we had a nice surprise when the good
lady of one of our customers put up her pyrographic picture of the
cover of Patrol Angis burned into a wooden dice box! See that on our
blog. Finally remember that by placing an order with us you sign
up for an account and earn points on all purchases which can be used
later for discounts, special items and more.
Thanks
for Reading.
