The world called Midway-2 is a planet that has been checked off as being inhabitable for human beings. It's littered mostly with deserts, tropical jungles, and even a few frozen tundras for the main climates, opening the need to terraform and establish a colony on the planet itself.
The types of people attending the trip fall into categories, three of which are most prevalent. You have the Civs, normal folks along for the ride. Mostly either rich folks or family to the workers. Then we have the Sci-Folks of the Science Department, which consists of course, of scientists and engineers who study the area/terra-form it/build things. The "Rangers" are the equivalent to soldiers, or space marines, only rather than be as focused solely on firepower, they know their way around nature and the climates, as well as animals and military tactics/strategy.
Sci-folks, Rangers, and some Civs are granted a nearly universal tool called the Forge-Cuff. A multi-purpose device which features a miniature computer/communicator, as well as the more primary features which include a 'TK Lens' for moving around objects by levitating them, as well as destroying objects, and re-forming certain ones, which among other features, serve as the central building tool.
Weapons are very strange. Most of them are essentially various parts bought in bulk, and assembled by a machine with interchangeable parts being slapped together at random. The same goes for the food supply, ingredients being compiled into handy dandy MRE's, as small settlements defended by developing security walls attempt to survive the local wildlife, with the main spaceship set on the capital settlement much like the white house on Earth, serving as a headquarters for the Rangers and other important things, not to mention the fact it's the only means of escape should they have to evacuate.
