Template:Branch-Gov-Project The Gormoth Project was a massive industrial project in the Abaem system, initiated by Lord Zell Jaak during his final months as Prime Minister of the Hapes Consortium. The intention was to establish a planetary cityscape on Gormoth with the hopes of becoming an even more massive financial bulwark than Terephon. As the project drew on, more departments of both the Hapan government and Royal Hapan Armed Forces were called upon to assist in the project. It is the largest cross-department project to date.
Background
Terephon had long been the largest and most successful planet in the Hapes Cluster in terms of tax income from its residents and local commerce, dwarfing the ecumenopolis planets of the Lorell system. Seeking to imitate and exceed the design and results of Terephon, Lord Zell Jaak started making plans for the development of Gormoth in the early 4033.
The plan was to incorporate an even higher standard of living within the large city-scape while also retaining the beauty of the planet and its nature in order to attract even wealthier residents who would be willing to pay a high price to live on the planet. The goal was also to ensure the virtual non-existence of crime within the city as well by employing extensive law enforcement agencies.
Stages
Foundation & Platforms
Existing terrain was prepared, enforced and leveled before the extensive foundations for the cities were laid down on the planet, starting with the northern hemisphere. During Lord Zell Jaak's administration of the project, this was the only part of the planet being developed.
When Lord Gane Lant became Deputy Prime Minister in the summer of 4033 he took over the project and divided the planet in to quadrants and zones. The area surrounding the planet's equator was left untouched for the time being and foundations were laid across all terrains apart from oceans, lakes and major rivers.
As the project itself neared an end, the water areas of the planet were covered with extensive floating and pillared platforms while glaciers were melted and developed.
