A science fiction western
Humanity came to VOI 700 D looking for a future. It found a world that did not need to be conquered, saved, or understood. Survival now depends on what its last people are willing to become.
The premise
In 2625 the multigenerational ship Last Frontier crashes on VOI 700 D (102 Wiki) (opens in a new tab), a world that always shows the same face to its red dwarf star. One side burns. One side freezes. Life is possible only in the twilight belt between them, and that belt is home to seven and a half million people who were there first.
Twenty-five thousand survivors arrive with the technology of a starship and lose most of it in the wreck. They build New Kourou, Hope, Morningstar, and a mining town in the permanent night called Firetown. Within four years they are at war with the Native Tribes (102 Wiki) (opens in a new tab) who took them in. What they become after that is the story.

VOI 700 D
The planet always shows the same face to its red dwarf. Scroll along the terminator from the scorched side, through the twilight belt, into the dark.
01 · Up to 70 °C · eternal day
East of the belt the star never sets. Sand moves in walls, the ground reaches seventy degrees, and nothing that came from Earth lasts long without protection. Few go there. Fewer come back with what they went for.

02 · 20–28 °C · 400–500 km wide · eternal sunset
A strip four to five hundred kilometres wide where the light is always the last minutes of sunset. Twenty to twenty-eight degrees, all year, forever. Every settlement but one stands here, on ground the Native Tribes held long before the ship came down.
Explore Habitual Belt in the 102 Wiki (opens in a new tab) Adds the twilight strip where life is possible.
03 · Down to −70 °C · eternal night
West of the belt the night does not end. Minus seventy on a clear day. Copper under the ice, heat under the volcano, and one town that burns lanterns against all of it. Those who want to be forgotten walk west.
