Ironbark Moon

🚀 IRONBARK MOON: WRIT & DUST 🌙 Ironbark was built to be a prison. Now it’s home. Centuries after the first transports were dumped onto a harsh mining moon at the edge of settled space, the old prison roads have become trade routes, cell blocks have become townships, and the descendants of convicts, wardens, settlers, miners and smugglers are building something nobody planned. 🌵⚙️ You might arrive in chains. You might be moonborn. A ticket holder. A company transfer. A road hauler with a battered bike. A medic, mechanic, prospector, bounty hand, farmer, pilot, scholar—or someone simply trying to disappear. Then the frontier opens up. 🚚 Run freight across dust roads and frozen darkside tracks. 🔧 Build a workshop, repair vehicles, work the mines or inherit a failing station. 💰 Trade, gamble, hunt, salvage wrecks, buy property and build a livelihood. 🔫 Chase outlaws, serve warrants, smuggle contraband—or become the person the Marshals are looking for. ❤️ Make friends, flirt, date, marry, raise a household or just enjoy a hot night at the baths after a long shift. 🐕 Keep pets, work livestock, survive predators and travel with the people you trust. 🏛️ Get tangled in union struggles, water politics, transport reform, company expansion and rough frontier justice. And out beyond the dependable roads? There are things nobody put on the prison maps. Ancient black ruins buried beneath dust and ice. Lost ships broken across ravines. Strange waterworks beneath salt flats. Sealed chambers that predate human settlement by an impossible margin. 👁️✨ Most people will never find them. Some people should probably leave them alone. Ironbark doesn’t care what kind of life you came here to build. But sooner or later, the moon asks what you’re willing to become.
