    Anyone Could Light A Match
    Apr 23 2025
    In this episode, we find ourselves in the LHS 1140 system, orbiting LHS 1140b—a rocky Super-Earth in the habitable zone just 49 light-years from Earth. Its thick atmosphere and gravity make colonisation tricky, but its mineral resources have drawn interest from across the UFR and beyond. The UFR Colonial Claimant Department has taken residence on the newly established Orbital Station “Kite's End” and have just finished it;s preliminary assessment, and three competing groups—each with partial legal rights—have arrived to finalise terms. On the surface, things look diplomatic. But tensions are high. And it’s not just about land...CAST: Sabrina Stubbs (she/her): UFR Colonial Arbitrator Leslie David Chris Payne (he/him): Indigenous Rights Council Liaison William Lindholt Lucie Prunier (she/her): Ascension Group Rep Lucight Hem Cleveland (she/her): Kalvex Collective Envoy Arla Stonewell HOST: Oscar Clark EDITOR: Elliott Clark SCENARIO: Oscar Clark --- Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): ⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/kevin-macleod/new-direction⁠ License code: EOPCFS6UIIFJBVAL NOTES: Format and narrative background are adapted from 'WestPoint: Extra Planetary Academy' created by Oscar Clark with additional material by David Hankins ALL RIGHTS RESERVED © Stormlantern Productions 2025 Learn more about your ad choices.

    In this episode, we find ourselves on the RSV Golden Grove, a civilian research vessel looking for a location to test an experimental Terraforming system. The Providence device is a nano-bot generator which creates all the infrastructure required to start processing atmospheric conditions to develop a standard atmosphere suitable for the principal species of the United Federal Republic. Entering the Ross 128 system against the backdrop of its small red sun, there are 2 systems which were never colonized, despite being just 11 light years from Earth. Which planet will they choose? and of course... Anything could happen!
