About Us

---

Dmitry Zukhov Invanovic,
CEO of V1 Space Exploration

V1 Space Exploration is a private space exploration and research corporation originating from Ruskazia. Formed in the year of 2400 A.D, we now specialize in researching a couple of planets in different solar systems, particularly their weather system, tectonic plate movements, ecosystem and many other fields.

The founding CEO was the late Vladimir Gharganov, a retired General of Science of Ruskazia. He founded the corporation with funds from the Ruskazian government with just 2 hyper-jump capable spaceships. Now the corporation is led by Dmitry Zukhov Ivanovic, the grandson of the first CEO. Under his lead, the corporation now has around 10 spaceships that includes orbital bases on several planets, a flagship and three battleships.

As of 2500, with the help of DNA technology researched since 5 millenniums ago, life forms of different variety from different solar systems and planets had their DNA copied into V1 SEC's database and storage facility. Again, with help from DNA splicing techniques, we are able to put a combined DNA into an embryo that will serve as a place for two different alien species to be bred artificially. Currently the results are very randomized considering their DNA structure is much different from us humans and we will not be able to pre-determine which features of a species will be the dominant one; for example their limbs or heads.


Space Bases

---

As an entity specializing in space research and exploration, we have set up several bases all across the Milky Way Galaxy in search of solar systems with planets that could support life. Our hard efforts paid off as currently, we have found 3 planets in 3 different solar systems in the Milky Way. Each planet has several bases on land with a main spaceship base orbiting each, and all 3 of these planets have atmospheres with good concentration of oxygen levels suitable for humans; wiping the need of oxygen tanks.

Razia Q64G

Razia Q64G is an exoplanet orbiting the red star Razia-Q6, about 9 light-years from the Earth. It is the 3rd planet with a radius almost similar to Earth's to be discovered in the habitable zone of another star by the Ruskazian 'Razia' spacecraft. Razia detected it using the transit method, along with 2 additional planets orbiting to the star (all modestly larger than Earth).

Razia Q64G orbits a Class III red star with about 60% of the Sun's luminosity with an orbital period of 482.2 days. The planet's climate varies from different regions, with an average temperature of 20°C. It's atmosphere composition is 55% nitrogen, 10% methane, 5% carbon dioxide and 30% oxygen and water vapour and other gasses. The planet is mostly coated in a H20 sea, with 40% of landmass available. It also contains abundant resource of minerals but the company has gone against mining on the planet to preserve its environment.

Similar to Earth, there are plants here but instead of oxygen, they take in nitrogen and release methane for their breathing process. In a process similar to photosyntesis, these plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Most land-based life forms take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide for their breathing process. While all sea-based life forms take in oxygen and release nitrogen.

V1 SEC deployed several bases on this planet to study life on it and even live among the life forms. A crew of 6 is on each base, with facilities to expand it when the explorers have children. Among the life forms living here are [list]

Razia F12S

Razia F12S is an exoplanet orbiting the orange Razia-F1, about 15 light-years from the Earth. It is the 2nd planet with a radius almost similar to Earth's to be discovered in the habitable zone of another star by the Ruskazian 'Razia' spacecraft. Razia detected it using the transit method, along with four additional planets orbiting much closer to the star (all modestly larger than Earth). Analysis of three years of data was required to find its signal.

Razia F12S orbits a Class II orange star with about 80% of the Sun's luminosity with an orbital period of 550.7 days. The planet's climate is cold all year around, with an average temperature of 27°C. It's atmosphere composition is 80% oxygen and 10% carbon dioxide and 10% methane, water vapor and other gasses. The planet is mostly coated in H20 sea, with 60% of landmass. It also contains abundant resource of minerals but the corporation has gone against mining on the planet to preserve its environment.

Razia C010T

Razia C015T is an exoplanet orbiting the red dwarf Razia-C01, about 4 light-years from the Earth. It is the 1st planet with a radius similar to Earth's to be discovered in the habitable zone of another star by the Ruskazian 'Razia' spacecraft. Razia detected it using the transit method, along with four additional planets orbiting much closer to the star (all modestly larger than Earth). Analysis of three years of data was required to find its signal.

Razia C010T orbits an M-dwarf star with about 4% of the Sun's luminosity with an orbital period of 129.9 days. The planet's climate is cold all year around, with an average temperature of 0°C. It's atmosphere composition is 50% methane, 10% nitrogen, 20% oxygen, 10% carbon dioxide and 10% water vapour and other gasses.

Announcements: V1 Space Exploration - Alien Life Form Breeding Storefront is now officially open! More alien life forms will be added from time to time. So stay tuned!

Ruskazia is a puppet of Malay Raya, which is my main nation. AZHTech and V1 SEC are my corporation puppets created to manage my GE&T storefronts. All life forms are taken from the Monster Breeding game, a game available on some free online gaming websites.

Please be advised scientists and science lovers: All scientific data or stuff in this thread does not reflect the real life world physics/chemistry/geology and in other fields. Almost all data here are made up so that the life forms would be easier to sell and that because researching too much science stuff is time consuming. I apologize if this thread boggles your mind and/or hurt your feelings. It's all just fiction and for fun!
