Barns Colonial Transportation Holdings invites you to to join us on Angelward the perfect place to start your life anew and become exactly who you want to be!
Settle down on the Angelwards endless rolling plain or take up residents in one of its bustling and growing towns, maybe even make it big and hit pay dirt by prospecting for rare minerals.
Endless opportunities await you on Angelward, it just takes one small step to realise your full potential!
You never felt quite at home where you grew up, for what ever reason you never quite fitted in or you simply just didn't get on with those you would call your species or your kin. You yearned for more or an escape from the monotony of your day to day life. You didn't really register the adverts and flyers the first few times, it seemed like more spam from the insistent billboards, emails and everything else that blurted out advertising to you on a daily basis. Each time you saw them however you started to think to yourself... 'what if? What if I packed my things and travelled to Angelward?' The question in your mind formed into curiosity you did your research and what little you could find pointed you to the conclusion that maybe you could become something else, heck you could become someone else if you wanted to!
Angelward huh.... the place looks and sounds terrific a world where the frontier is yet to be discovered, a place where you could stumble across your fortune at any moment, or simply escape from the monotony of your day to day life. Heck why not, any place has got to be better than this place right? Angelward could be where I really make it big you think to yourself someplace I can truly call home. That night you pack, say very little to anyone and book yourself onto the next shuttle out of your forsaken home and onward to Angelward! The surge of excitement grips you the adventure of your life time is really happening, you will soon be setting foot on another world. You can scarcely believe the audacity of your actions yet you feel satisfaction that you will be doing something none of your 2-bit friends would ever think to do.
Time passes achingly slowly the excitement and adrenaline keeping you awake through the night but eventually your there. Your at the spaceport waiting in the queue with other like minded individuals. Jealously surges over you for a moment... what if like you they are going to stake their claim on your wealth and glory or steal your sleepy patch of land you had decided to grow cattle on. Emotions mingle with one another but the fact others have come to take the journey with you gives you comfort that this is the right course of action and that you are doing what is best for you. The lady at the check in desk is lovely, all smiles as she takes your bags hands your your transportation documents and shows you with a quick polite point of the finger where the departures lounge is. A perfect time to get a drink and celebrate you new found freedom, the hours pass and eventually your departure gate appears on the boards its finally time to make your way to your new homeworld.
The transport is standard enough, a little claustrophobic but which company didn't try to cram as much onto a freighter the same was true for living cargo right? It didn't matter because the nice stewards and stewardess's are coming around with complimentary drinks and food. Slowly but surely the seats fill up around you people smiling and happy to go on their new adventure just like you, a smooth tone sounds around the cabin as the crew seal the air locks and the cool mannered captain welcomes you aboard promising you a smooth transit between the stars to Angelward.
You stifle a yawn, putting it down to the early morning and the excitement wearing off. You yawn again feeling your eyes grow heavy the voice of the captain getting further and further away. Looking around you absently you see others yawning and going to sleep a stewardess moves down the isles you turn to ask her a question only to see the gas mask on her face as she looks down at you. Dread sits at the back of your mind helpless to do anything she places a comforting hand on your shoulder as you yawn again this time your eyes closing your world shrinking to nothingness.
You are the intrepid mug that just walked into his or her own kidnapping, getting yourself taken robbed and eventually dumped on the planet of Angelward left to survive or die out in the arid deserts, disease infested jungles or at the barrel of some bandits gun. Will you survive and make your fortune like you set out to do or will you become another skeleton left out for the Carrion to feed upon? Angelward is a planet of great danger but also a planet where anyone can ultimately make their fortune in any way they want to as long as they ware willing to grasp the opportunity with both hands. As one of the victims players will find themselves waking up on the surface of Angelward with nothing but a basic survival kit and the clothes on your back. So submit a character to see if you can survive on the planet of Angel ward.

Angelward Locations:
For now only major settlements and locations will be listed others will be added as and when players stumble across note worthy Areas.
Westhold - Capital City
The largest settlement on Angelward, Westhold was the site where the first settlers landed and built the first settlement. It has grown since expanded outwards and erected walls to protect itself from raiders, Animals and the environment. Possibly the most technologically advanced and civilised place on the planet baring the Drax Point finding your way here would be essential if your looking to kit yourself out with the best gear out in the Rim. West hold and Drax Point are connected via a Maglev train that runs materials between the two settlements on a regular basis.
Drax Point - Praxium Corp Headquarters
Drax Point was founded as the side of Praxis Corps headquarters, since its foundation it had been turned into a fortress. Around the fortress is a large town built to service the companies worker the town of Drax Point is a mixture of sturdy concrete tenements, prefabricated structures. West hold and Drax Point are connected via a Maglev train that runs materials between the two settlements on a regular basis.
Lazaret - Settlement
Lazaret was the name of the colony ship that crash landed many years ago. The survivors cannibalised what remained of the ship and named the settlement after the ship. They tend to be very isolationist and sometimes hostile to outsiders. This stems from almost constant raids from local brigands that operate in the area.
Fort Harley
The Fort is the ground side headquarters of the Corsair Private Military Contractors that are contracted to protect Angelward and any settlements affiliated with the local Westhold Government.Built in the mountains north of Westhold no one is really sure what goes on in the base but the Local PMC’s do make regular patrols from the base in conjunction with their Warship in orbit above the planet.
Gallaghers Court
Home to the Gallaghers Cohort a group of ruthless raiders, Gallaghers Court is an old ruined fort bombed on a regular basis by the Corsair PMCs. Its thought that under the fort miles and miles of tunnels and bomb shelters have been built to allow the raiders to come away relatively unharmed when the bombers come calling. The Fort is south east from the settlement of Lazaret.
The Shaft
A miners town under the control of Praxium Corp, sat on a particularly rich vein of platinum and palladium the town sprung up as a boom town. You can find anything in The Shaft if you look and ask the right questions.
There are many more settlements and locations on Angelward to find and explore.
Factions on Angelward
Westhold Government
The local authority on Angelward and the recognised governing body of the Rimworld. In recent years the local government has become weak and ineffectual loosing lots of ground to settlements becoming independent raids from ruthless raiders. Despite its loss’s it still holds the capital city and its considerable defensive walls and weapons as well as the only space port on the world. It is working together with The Corsair Private Military Contractors in order to try and bring stability back to the planet.
Praxium Corp
Local known as “The Company” all over Angelward, they provide law and order to the considerable swathes of land they own. This law and order comes at a price however, low wages and very few amenities provided by the company itself. The Company is also not known for its leniency if public floggings and executions are common if you are found to be working against The Company. They operate their own security force on the planet that is almost as well equipped as The Corsair PMC’s
Gallagher’s Cohort
A particularly ruthless band of raiders operating out of the southern savannahs, known for razing entire settlements killing all the males and taking women and children captive to either be sold off to the local slavers or worse. Headed by Jona Gallagher an ex Praxium Corp Security colonel.
The Corsairs Private Military Group
Not much is known about the Corsairs PMCs other than they keep the peace for the Westhold government. They currently operate a warship in orbit of Angelward and are based out of Fort Harley deep in the Angel Mountain range. They operate some very advanced weapons and technology and use questionable tactics to meet their aims and objectives. Very little is known about the upper echelons of The Corsair PMCs. Rumour also has it that they are using their base in the mountains as a research centre for some weird genetic research.
Barns Colonial Transportation Holdings
Any board net search in most known galactic net sources will return articles of information about Barns Colonial, most will say the same thing even provide documentation from several major economic markets stating the authenticity of Barns Colonial. However digging deeper will reveal a rather dark side to Barns Colonial with rumours going of kidnapping experimentation on sentient species and all manner of dark twisted unconfirmed rumours. Rumour also has it that they have a secret base on Angelward where they conduct some of their secret research.
