Game World

The game tells the story of a thrilling adventure of brave pioneers and future Martians. Battling dangers and exploring the cosmos, they travel aboard a massive ship to establish the first settlement on Mars and create a thriving colony based on a fair and reliable economic system. Along the way, they develop their skills and earn capital by completing missions, gathering resources, and trading.

Chapter 1: Survival and Repair (April 12 – June 12, 2025)

The first chapter narrates the repair of the ship following an accident, resource gathering, establishing rules and connections among crew members, and preparing for an extended space journey to Venus and later Mars.

The year 2024 was Earth's last peaceful year. Short-sighted governments had been overspending for years, borrowing from future generations. After a series of local conflicts, recessions, and natural disasters, the planet plunged into a severe economic and ecological crisis, threatening humanity's survival.

Amid this collapse, visionary leaders, activists, and thinkers recognized that Earth's mounting contradictions were unresolved. They foresaw a prolonged and challenging crisis for the economy, culture, technology, and humanity itself. The decision was made to use advanced space exploration technologies to build and launch massive ships for Mars colonization and terraforming. This new project, "Juna," became humanity's hope for preserving its achievements and starting a new civilization.

A colossal spaceship was constructed to transport the first few tens of thousands of settlers to Mars. Additional ships were planned for launch months and years later. The life-support systems on the ship were designed to sustain humans for nine months, the time needed to reach Mars via the most efficient trajectory, plus several additional months while waiting for the ideal launch window.

Future Martians understood they would start from scratch in the new world. Personal belongings and valuables were left behind to make room for additional people and the machinery necessary for settlement and terraforming. The pioneers drafted a memorandum and unanimously agreed that on the new planet, their survival would depend on their skills, knowledge, and diligence. They aimed to build a fair society that retained healthy competition among individuals and ideas.

The settlers decided their society would be democratic, balanced, equal, and market-oriented. They took the best elements of old Earth's governance systems and worked to create a fair authority structure encouraging innovation, collaboration, and integrity. The new colony would be governed wisely, with major decisions subjected to multi-stage collective voting. The governing council members would rotate periodically, including recognized experts, active citizens, and even a random selection of individuals to represent all viewpoints and prevent bias or power concentration.

The ship launched as scheduled. However, after reaching low orbit at 600 km, it collided with space debris—remnants of a disguised military satellite. The collision damaged one of the ship's engines, making it clear the ship could not reach its destination. Fragments from the damaged engine fell off, harming internal and external systems such as fuel tanks, antennas, solar panels, and landing systems. Fortunately, no lives were lost, but the ship sustained serious damage.

The ship was stabilized at an altitude of 700 km, but continuing on the original trajectory was impossible. Returning to Earth was also not an option, as the ship was not designed for that. Repairs and additional resources were needed, but obtaining sufficient supplies from Earth was impossible in the short term.

The crew included capable and intelligent professionals from various fields. They quickly devised numerous survival solutions: hydroponic farms, oxygen-producing bacterial columns, filtration systems for water and air, and waste recycling. Drones and space sail traps were used to collect dust and small debris to source metals, silicon, and rare elements for repairs. The collected materials were sorted by mineral composition, valuable components were extracted, and the ship’s automated factories and industrial 3D printers—initially intended for the Mars settlement—produced parts, electronics, and equipment. Silicate minerals from the collected dust were ideal for creating ceramic composite panels for the ship's hull and structures.

The crew adopted a temporary onboard currency system called Mars Credits (MC). For every unit of metal collected or food produced and delivered to the ship’s storage, crew members earned MC. This universal currency facilitated trade among the crew and became a measure of each person’s contribution. Upon reaching Mars, earned MC could be exchanged for resources, equipment, and materials for establishing the new settlement. Thus, each crew member’s efforts during the voyage determined their starting capital on Mars.

The currency system, designed by experienced economists, financiers, lawyers, and entrepreneurs, served as a test version of the future settlement’s financial system, ensuring reliable transactions. Crew members also performed community tasks to maintain and repair the ship. The greater their contribution to resource collection, repairs, and mission execution, the more JC credits they earned. These were used to purchase equipment and goods in the ship’s store and through peer-to-peer trading.

Future Martians could join the repair efforts at any time or take breaks for personal reasons. Some were involved from the beginning, while others joined later. Gradually, the crew repaired the ship: first the hull, then solar panels, fuel tanks, pipes, engines, and electronic systems. Everyone worked together. Some maintained life-support systems, others mined minerals, manufactured parts, or conducted repairs, while others provided help and support.

Piece by piece, system by system, the ship came back to life, responding to commands and maneuvering according to the new flight plan. Although the Martians were saved, their destination remained far away.

Capsule

By the beginning of the first chapter, crew members are equipped with a personal semi-autonomous ARC (Autonomous Residential Capsule). These capsules are part of the main ship, capable of minor movements around it, and are used for resource extraction and processing. The capsules are attached to the ship's frame, where future Martians install equipment for food cultivation and material processing.

Expansion modules can be added to the capsule to enhance protection against hazards and improve production efficiency. Each capsule features a storage bay, whose capacity determines the amount of equipment and materials that can be stored and utilized. Initially, the storage bay is 10 m³ in size, expandable up to 50 m³ through tutorial missions (completion of starting quests). Ship engineers are constantly improving capsule technologies, unlocking new capabilities throughout the journey.

Future Martians

The ship's crew are the future Martians—pioneers and trailblazers. Each has duties aboard the ship that must be performed to earn rewards and increase rank. Missing a shift resets the rank to its initial status. Crew members can use their time to gather resources for ship repairs and supplies, complete tasks and missions, trade, and upgrade their capsules.

Earning Mars Credits (MC)

To encourage versatility, mutual support, and cooperation, the crew decided MC would only be earned by turning in resources—food and metals—together. This policy fostered various forms of cooperation: some crew members split their time between mining metals and growing food, while others specialized in one and traded for the other using MC.

A future Martian earns MC by delivering resources to the ship's storage (both types must be submitted together). For 1 unit of minerals and 1 unit of food, 1 MC is awarded. MC can also be earned through missions, tasks, trading with other crew members, or dealing with the ship's store. MC is used to purchase production upgrades, items, and missing resources. At the end of the flight, accumulated MC will serve as the starting capital for life on Mars, exchanged for Juna tokens (JC) according to a formula considering crew size and activity levels.

Resource Gathering: Minerals (Metals) and Food

Two key parameters govern resource gathering: collection speed and the capacity of the local storage, both of which can be improved with capsule upgrades, modules, and items.

If a pioneer is free, they can begin collecting one of the game resources, a process taking around 2 hours depending on their upgrades. During metal and food mining, the speed and storage capacity influence each other. The amount gathered matches the storage size, and the time spent on the cycle depends on the filling rate of this storage.

Both speed and storage size can be increased through upgrades. However, each successive upgrade level requires greater investment but yields diminishing returns. In the first chapter, five upgrade levels for speed and storage are available for each resource. Future chapters will introduce more levels, as well as items and quest rewards that enhance parameters.

Resource Gathering Events

During resource gathering, players may encounter positive or negative events, revealed after a delay. To avoid negative consequences or fully capitalize on positive outcomes, the Martian must use an item suited to the event. Events in Chapter 1 include:

• Mineral-rich meteorite: Provides a significant bonus to mined metals. Requires activating an autodrill drone to collect a fragment.

• Dangerous space debris: Damages the resource storage. Requires deploying a tractor drone to deflect it.

• Bountiful mutation: Increases organic harvest. Requires using a stimulator fertilizer.

• Infection: Destroys crops. Requires a UV lamp for disinfection.

Items

At the start of the journey, future Martians can only purchase items from the ship's store, with quantities limited to the initial supplies brought aboard. Over time, ship engineers replenish stocks, and soon participants will be able to manufacture simple and complex items and equipment using resources.

Items are classified into two types: permanent and single-use, with varying levels. In the first chapter, only permanent first-level items are available, offering unlimited usage. Crew members can also trade items among themselves. When an item is purchased or received, it is stored in the capsule's bay if there is space. If the bay is full and the item is acquired, it is automatically sold back to the ship’s store.

Items have fixed prices and effects to maintain balance between players with different upgrade levels. This also provides Martians with clear market values for items. In future chapters, items will have levels (e.g., Mk1, Mk2) that enhance their efficiency and cost.

Permanent items, unlike single-use ones, require maintenance—electricity, spare parts, and inspections. A small amount of MC is deducted daily for ownership. If a Martian lacks enough MC, the item is frozen until payment is made, but it can still be sold to another player or the store. Higher ship ranks provide discounts on maintenance costs.

Ship Store

The ship's store operates as a monopoly, offering resources and items for MC with a significant markup (about 30%). Items and resources can also be sold here but with a 30% loss in value. Higher ship ranks reduce the impact of these steep markups. Rare items occasionally appear in the store. The store can be accessed via the Juna SuperApp or Telegram, with the SuperApp offering better rates and lower fees.

Ship Rank

Crew members progress through a 7-step quest to increase their ship rank (from worker to section administrator). To advance and maintain rank, they must perform 2-hour shifts every 24 hours (mandatory tasks for the ship’s needs), earning wages (MC). Each rank level reduces item maintenance costs by 5% and grants a 3% discount in the ship’s store. Missing a shift drops the rank back to level 1.

Trading

Future Martians can trade using the Juna system. Through their personal terminals, players can access the marketplace to view contracts for item and resource sales, accept contracts, and complete transactions. Players can also create contracts to sell resources or items via the "Trading" screen. The marketplace is accessible through the Juna SuperApp or Telegram, with the SuperApp offering more favorable rates and fees.

Quests

Future Martians can complete quests and missions, which will be introduced as the game expands. Four recurring quests are available in the first chapter:

1. Martian Council: Provides an overview of the game’s story (+10 m³ capsule bay expansion upon first completion; MC for subsequent completions).

2. Metal Gathering Tutorial: Teaches mineral and metal collection (+10 m³ capsule bay expansion upon first completion; metal for subsequent completions).

3. Food Cultivation Tutorial: Explains food collection (+10 m³ capsule bay expansion upon first completion; food for subsequent completions).

4. Trading Tutorial: Introduces resource exchange mechanics and contracts via the Juna system (+10 m³ capsule bay expansion upon first completion; MC for subsequent completions).

Quests are text-based, presenting situations based on prior player choices and offering multiple decision options. Each decision leads to connected story steps, influenced by predetermined probabilities. Players earn or lose Credits or Resources depending on their choices and the defined outcomes.

Juna Points

Juna Points will be proportionally converted into Juna tokens. The rate will be announced at launch. Hold the Juna Points and wait for the exchange option to appear.

For each Mars Credit on the balance at the end of the chapter you can exchange 1 Juna Point. In this case, credits burn out.

The game shows the points earned so far. After claiming, they go to the user's wallet in the Juna SuperApp.

Rewards

Successful mission completion earns Mars Credits, which can be used to upgrade equipment or exchanged for Juna Points at chapter’s end.

During this chapter, the Juna team launches the project’s tokenomics on Ethereum and issues tokens that players can later trade for their earned Juna Points.

Chapter 2: Journey to Venus (June 12 – August 12, 2025)

The second chapter tells the story of the journey from Earth to Venus, emphasizing the advancement of technology, society, and the shipboard economy.

The ship transitioned to its new trajectory while the future Martians adapted to their new conditions. Reaching the destination will take many months and several maneuvers around planets and moons. The ship must perform a final gravitational assist around Venus, using its gravity to adjust the course toward Mars. This will allow the ship to descend into Mars’ gravitational well, slow down gradually in a spiral trajectory, and prepare for landing.

Repairs on the ship’s systems continue throughout the journey, but not only that. Part of the resources collected during the flight is stored to improve the initial conditions for building the new settlement. The more additional metals and food collected, the more resources each Martian will receive upon arrival as earned MC are exchanged for essential supplies.

During the journey, the crew could exchange their earned MC for various tools and upgrades to enhance resource collection efficiency. Those working on food and oxygen production invested in additional hydroponic modules to increase yield or powerful lamps to speed up the growth of genetically modified plants. This allowed them to cultivate biomass in larger quantities and harvest it more frequently.

Space miners acquired extensions for their dust-collecting sails, increasing the speed of mineral collection. To process larger batches of valuable elements, they traded MC for additional modules for automatic separators, building entire stacks of these autonomous modular devices in industrial bays.

Engineers developed new upgrades for the capsules, making it possible to install expansion modules. They also designed a training system for future Martians to enhance their skills in production, trade, and resource gathering.

New equipment allowed crew members to independently produce parts, blueprints, and new items used to sustain life aboard the ship, maintain systems, and provide entertainment.

The ship has transitioned to its new trajectory, and the future Martians are acclimating to new conditions. Reaching their destination will take many months and several maneuvers around planets and moons. A final gravitational assist around Venus will adjust the course for Mars, allowing the ship to descend into the planet's gravitational well and gradually decelerate in a spiral trajectory for landing.

Throughout the journey, repair work on the ship's systems continues, but so does resource collection. Some resources gathered en route are stored and will enhance the initial conditions for building the new settlement. The more metals and food gathered, the greater the resources available to each Martian upon arrival, as earned MC will be exchanged for essential supplies.
