Docking at Risa

[ten_fwd_npcs]

From space, Risa doesn't look so different from Earth. Big, blue oceans, lush lands, a habitable climate that neither feels too hot nor too cold. The only outstanding differences are in the binary system Risa is a part of; the planet is warmed by two suns, and lit at night by two moons.

Once on the surface, it seems like a veritable paradise. Guests can take in the sights at such stunning locations as: Suraya Bay, where one restaurant floats on a little boat that sails into the bay every evening just after sunset, and patrons can wade out to it and eat seafood served right off the deck; Galartha, a cliff face that changes pitch while you climb it; Temtibi Lagoon, where it never rains and the water is warm and the wind sweet; subterranean gardens with luminescent plants; Risan steam-pools, which are said to be very relaxing; even a water park and many nightclubs.

Guests from the Enterprise are taken straight to one of Risa's comfortable resorts upon arrival, where they may stay as long as they like and use it as a base of operations. It adheres to the tropical vibe of the rest of the vicinity, with great stone arches and hanging ferns, palms and colorful flowers, stone floors and opulent entryways. It's a large, comfortable place, and each of the rooms are bright, airy, and big enough to be considered suites.



The Enterprise makes orbit without a hitch, and once the crew has performed all their duties in docking, a shipwide announcement is made to inform passengers of their arrival. They may disembark at their leisure, either by shuttle craft or transporter room, and as they do so there will be officers to mark their comings and goings so the chief officers aboard will always know where they are.


[ooc: Welcome to Risa! This is just to establish the ship's arrival and is not intended for threading; however, if you would like a record of your character leaving the Enterprise and/or returning for your logs, there will be a top-level thread for the Shuttlebays and the Transporter Rooms where you can establish their exits (example). Feel free to handwave their travel if you prefer. Don't know where to start once on the planet? Hit our OOC plotting post!]

The Transporter Room

For as long as the Enterprise is in orbit around Risa, the transporter rooms are available to all passengers. An officer mans the station to beam you to Risa.

The Shuttle Bay

There are a number of small shuttles prepared to take a handful of guests to Risa at a time. Those wary of transporter travel may feel more comfortable in one of these piloted ships.
