10,000 years is interesting because it gives us more of a history and culture.
[X] Plan: Sands of Time
-[X] 10,000 Years - Very little remains of the society that first arrived at the moment of planetfall, with nations and governments rising and falling since. The homeworld has been forgotten and mythologized, and the Urheimat of Mankind is spoken of only as a rhetorical device in doctrine or philosophy.
-[X] Explorers - The planet was colonized by those seeking a final frontier. Among their number were scientists, engineers, soldiers and settlers. Such circumstances ensure an initial meritocracy and other high-minded principles, though time can erode these quickly enough.
-[X] XIBALBA - A desert world that appeared at a glance to be completely inimical to humanity, Xibalba's vast network of underground caves concealed buried oceans and fungal ecosystems as rich and dense as rainforest, driven by the heat of geothermal wells and unstable tectonics. Xibalba asks many questions of its eventual colonists. Settlement on the harsh surface or the cramped caverns? Exploitation of the cave ecosystems or adaptation to it? Can a planet like this be terraformed? Should it?
