TMW#8 - Ferust System | "Under Siege"
Overview~
Endeavor, the third largest human colony on Ferust. With a city littered with colonial prefabs and rising skyscrapers, though plain, the city can still excite. Exquisite picture-perfect mountains in the background, while a small yet sprawling metropolis sits undisturbed and its inhabitants, colonists sacrificing their old lives on Earth, enjoying their new one in this new decade old colony. But when turmoil strikes the galaxy, Endeavor is not left in dark by the galactic invaders. It was a only a matter of time 'til the once thought mythical 'Reapers' would reach to Ferust, and inevitably, Endeavor.
Felano: Thanks Felano, but I still have to admit that your resorts are better than mine...cause mine are waaaay to simplistic and dull 
Fox: Thanks Fox! There's no real problem fishing on Salacia, just cause there are a bunch of large aquatic monstrosities, doesn't mean you can't fish for you dinner And as for the "Reapers", I'll probably throw in some information about them in the next update 
KonstantinII: Thanks Konstantin, and about a landing zone or spaceport, since Fontus is merely only one of a few islands in the Green Meridian Island group, people would have to use civilian/commercial transport between the Fontus City Resort and the GM Spaceport which is located on a different island nearby. Just so you know 
simcityplayer15: Lol, thanks, I kinda thought of Dead Island as well when I came up with building an "Island Resort" as well
ggamgus: Aww, thanks ggamgus
10000000000000: Ha, Thanks 
Taymay27: Thanks! Yeah the storms on Salacia would be pretty intense. Parts would probably be like 'Kamino' off Star Wars And the buildings I used were from Bixel (HKBAT team):
RepublicMaster: Thanks a lot!
Hazani Pratama: Thanks!
gman28: Thanks so much!
Militant Radical: I've been striving for these to come out similar to Mass Effect Codex's, just with more pictures Thanks!

Note: So, looks like I managed to squeeze in an update about 10 hours before my flight. I did this at 1 in the morning cause I only have hours 'til I leave, and wanted to post something before my absence
Hopefully you'll enjoy this, a little more destruction than your usual in this update!________________________________________________________________________________________
Current Star System locale - Aerene System
Welcome again folks! We're now traveling back to the planet of Ferust via FTL travel in the Aerene system, leaving behind the Ocean world of Salacia, from the nearby star system of Anemoi.
Back on Ferust, we're visiting the planet's third largest human colony named Endeavor. Endeavor is a relatively sizable colony, home to approximately 600,000 - 700,000 permanent inhabitants. The city is commonly dominated by a large amount of original colonial prefabs, built to sustain and house human colonists immigrating from Earth. It was one of four of the most significant colonies, and among the fastest to grow when it was established in the 2170s. The city lies in a wide valley, catching beautiful picturesque views, and a beautiful oceanic sunrise horizon, downhill at its nearby coastline.
It became a popular place to live on Ferust as it presented the perfect opportunity to start fresh, like all other colonies. But being colored with such great views of mountains, and the perfect places to ski and escape to, it was the ultimate place to live out colony life. Though the building density of Endeavor over the years due to a rapid population increase, has abruptly peaked, its Colony planners are beginning to find ways to better improve and even take advantage of its crowding skyline, to ensure all its inhabitants are pleased with their morning window view. Insuring everyone's window has an idyllic, very calm and natural view.
Endeavor's skyline, as was stated, is dominated by the colonial prefabs built during the 2170s. A height in Human Immigration numbers from Earth nation-states caused colonies on Ferust to experience a lack of housing in comparison to the large number of people moving into cities. Colonists saw the solution in solving the housing problem by using an adapted version of temporary prefab shetlers, and building them in such a way that would last, and be adequate enough for prolonged prefab living.
These uniquely designed contemporary living units and prefabs house the many thousands of people living in Endeavor. To get around, people use the narrow pathways that navigate the city. They then reach a branch of main street-ways, which is where people commonly park their sky cars, unless they park them in their Prefab garages.
Inside the city, comm and radio towers dominate the skies, various amounts of these towers are scattered around the city, tightly knit between the crowding prefabs.
By night, the city begins to illuminate. The street-ways, narrow pathways, towers and prefab units light up, brightening the valley.
The electricity generated to power these prefabs are of the use of Nuclear Fusion technology, which is clean and generally safe in the 22nd century. It's reliable power which is used vastly in the Milky Way. By using refined helium-3 derived from nearby gas giants like Arrae Sigma's Austra (Arrae Sigma's primary local source of helium-3) Nuclear fusion, it can sustain substantially large colonies like Endeavor, with minimal power failures.
The prefabs here on Endeavor are likened to the temporary prefab designs commonly used in colonies around the galaxy. But with a skyline that has a high building density, Endeavor's own skyline is commonly likened to the colonies of the planet Benning, a human colony located in the Arcturus Stream Star cluster in the Euler System. By referring to the images above, you can clearly see the close resemblance of Bennings dense urban skyline akin to Ferust's own dense skyline (Yet not as dense as Benning's).

"Ferust. Endeavor. A quiet colony in the fringes of Terminus Space. A haven for humanity in the most unlikely of places. But when hyper-advanced sapients from out of the Milky Way arrive through the galaxy's many mass relay's, they begin to threaten the life of many species in the galaxy. When these marauders finally reach the Sochin Relay, Ferust is suitably defended by Alliance naval forces. But with the loss of comm buoys within the Arrae Sigma star system, communication is severed and colonies on every planet in the system go down like dominoes. People on Ferust have little to no clue as to what was coming to them; and one day, they came as if from no where, they materialized."
"Intense laser beams from Squid-like cruiser ships, began to rain over Endeavor. People spread in panic. They began their attempts to flee the city in their sky-cars. But with the airspace above the city hectic with descending marauder ships, they have little place to go. The beams begin to penetrate the infrastructure below with ease, killing dozen upon dozen every second."
"As they begin to land, a horrible fate befalls on Endeavor, with more ships arriving. They begin to harvest the sapient life-forms of Endeavor, not just targeting humans, but the various turian, salarian, asari and even small quarian and volus populations that reside of Endeavor. Ashes spread, the city burns and the once dominating skyscrapers begin to fall to the ground. Explosions, fires and smoke litter the city, and many more continue to die at the hands of the 'Reapers'. But in no way will people give up."
"What is left of the Alliance forces based on Ferust begin to retaliate, firing projectiles at the descending ships. But it's then they realize that these 'sentient ships' have advanced shielding and technology that cannot be easily penetrated by their projectile technology, nor by the use of conventional technologies that they would normally utilize. Hope is being lost fast. However, no one here will be willing to give up quickly."
"What will become of this world, and worlds beyond the Violaceus Cluster at the hands of the Reapers? You're yet to see."
