Galactic Outpost

May 15-17, 2026

Camp Bothin in Fairfax

Attention, Galactic Rangers!  Your galaxy needs YOU.  Become the Galactic Ranger and a perilous, low-tech survival mission to explore Planet Sector 7!  Fifty years ago, the Earth Seed Ship Aurora crash-landed on Sector 7 while carrying the genetic blueprints of Earth’s flora and fauna.  The radiation and atmosphere of Sector 7 caused these Earth mammals to undergo rapid evolution.  Explore the Unknown by learning to track alien beasts, craft essential gear in the Tech Lab and navigate the treacherous terrain on a Planetary Exploratory Exploration Hike.

You will master your primitive survival skills by forging our perimeter with Plasma Launchers (slingshots).  You will cook for survival and learn about thermal ignition.  You can train with IO Bows (archery) with an additional fee. Overnight camping is highly recommended, but attending during the day only on Saturday is an option.  Recruits must use "Magnetic Resonance Locators" (compasses) to find hidden data caches left by a previous expedition. Go on a stealth mission (nature hike) to scan the local flora for "Bio-Signatures" and identify potential "Oxygen-Rich Zones."  Take a trip to the "Data Vault" (GS Museum) to study Earth’s history and remember why the mission to Sector 7 is so important.  A briefing from the "Science Division" (WildCare Animal Presentation) on the mammals that successfully adapted to the planet’s unique atmosphere.  Do you have what it takes?
