This world was going to be our new home. We were ready to struggle and overcome the challenges that all extrasolar human colonies face. Unfortunately, we were not ready for what we encountered upon arrival to this planet, an unprovoked attack by a barbaric empire guided by a malicious artificial intelligence.
Before launch, we colonists were divided into many competing factions. Several individuals were charismatic enough to recruit followers in significant numbers. Only four of these leaders are known to have survived the Crash, landing with only a few thousand survivors each. Even if additional groups are eventually found, we can be reasonably sure that over two hundred million colonists perished as a result of the savage missile attack.
Opinions will vary on how we can best confront the many obstacles that we will encounter. Some may favor unification(by violence, if necessary) of the surviving humans under a single leader. Perhaps some will prefer to confront the Ruffian menace head-on. Others might decide they have a duty to rediscover the technogies that were lost with the Crash, so that they can build a ship sufficient to escape this hostile world. I'm sure there are some who would advocate for something else instead, and all options should be heard and considered.
We owe it to our fallen brothers and the rest of humanity to discuss the circumstances we face, and present a united front to our common enemy. Among ourselves, we can disagree and quarrel, but we must always remember that our highest allegiance is to humanity itself.
