Subject: COLONIZATION
GOOD MORNING ALL. okay. my view of colonization ranges from single ship shoe string efforts, corporate coloniztion, voluntary colonization, and drafted colonists from heavily populated countries or worlds. the single ship effort might be anything from a group of friends and relatives, religious or political groups seeking greener grass and elbow room to establishing a small mining operation. corporate colonization could range from low budget colonies to major efforts where in construction crews are sent first to build the original colony site up before the arrival the corporate colonists. national / planetary voluntary colonization would have citizen volunteers sent out to colony worlds at government expense to establish a colony at government expense. involuntary colonists from heavily populated countries / planets, who are drafted and sent out at government expense to establish a colony. or, using the example from the uk and down under, a government colonization fleet that hauls undesirables out to the world to establish government run colonies. or penal colony like the infamous french colony in either central or south america -brain dead; all i can think of is devil's island and not the proper name. dawgie
