"War is hell. The super-jungle is hell. Put those two together and you just know there's zero chance of finishing your tour alive..."  - Corporal Mike Simms, 3rd Marine Division

A supplement for the Hostile RPG and Cepheus Engine.

Tau Ceti is a tortured world, fought over by the US-led Community of American States and by Chinese colonists backed by the People’s Republic of Guandong, on Earth. Tau Ceti is an unashamed stand-in for the Vietnam War, an interstellar conflict fought on a jungle world that kills almost as many Americans as the TLA do. 

Huge herbivores make life dangerous for the colonists, and the dinosaur-sized predators that hunt them are even more dangerous. Add highly poisonous or aggressive plantlife and a sulfur-tainted atmosphere and you have a very unpleasant world. Now add a decade-long jungle conflict fought by the dispirited forces of the American nations, and a foe that hides in the jungle, vanishes when attacked and launches devastating ambushes and counter attacks, and Tau Ceti becomes a place no-one wants to end up. 

But here you are, with the rest of your battalion, coming out of hypersleep in orbit above this glittering emeraled ball. Have you written your will?

"You take your 33 and a third chance, minus my 25% chance, and you've got an eight and a third chance of surviving, at Tau Ceti. But then you take my 75 per chance chance of dying against the TLA, if we was to go one on one, and then add 66 and two thirds... per cents, I got a 141 and two thirds chance of dying, at Tau Ceti. The numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you!"

"You've got it all figured out, private, haven't you?"
"With math skills like that, how come you wound up as a 0300 instead of a 0625?"

A print option may follow at a later date as a compilation of four colonies (including Tau Ceti).

Yes. I cannot post a link here, it is against the rules. You would have to search for ‘Colony Wars’ and Zozer on the lulu books website. I am unable to adapt the formatting to Drivethrugh.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
