A colony is a new [[planet]] created by a [[Gaia Class]] Colony Ship. Each colony allows a player to establish a new set of [[mines]], [[buildings]], [[defenses]], etc., just like they have on their [[homeworld]].  Colonies share [[crew]] points and [[research]] with their homeworld.  A player may have up to 8 colonies in addition to their homeworld.

A new colony has a random number of [[fields]] assigned when it is [[colonize]]d as described below. A user can [[Abandoning a planet|abandon]] a [[planet]] and then recolonize it to possibly change the number of fields on the colony.
 
 
 
The closer the colony is to spot 1, the more energy it will gain from [[Solar Satellite]]s due to being closer to the sun. The further away from spot 1, the more [[hydrogen]] it will gain from [[Hydrogen Synthesizer]]s.  Temperature of a colony has no other effect on anything.
 
 
 
===Planet Sizes===
 
 
 
Planet sizes are first determined using a normal distribution, based on a mean and standard deviation (see table blow) which are both determined by what planet slot is being colonized. If the Gaussian random number generator returns a value outside of 1 standard deviation away from the mean in either direction (which occurs roughly 32% of the time) instead a uniformly distributed random number between 40 and 320 is used. No planet larger than 320 or smaller than 40 may exist.

NOTE: The [[Gaia Class]] Colony Ship is automatically destroyed in the process of creating a Colony. Any ships sent with the Gaia Class will be deployed to the new colony if it is created. If someone manages to colonize a slot before your colonization mission arrives, your fleet (including the Gaia) will return to the world it was sent from.
 
 
 
===Colonization===
 
There are two ways to send a colonization mission. From the [[Galaxy]] page you may simply click "colonize" wherever you see an empty planet like so:
 
 
 
[[File:Clickthis.png]]
 
 
 
Also you may send one from the Fleets page by selecting a Gaia Class (plus any accompanying ships you like), putting in the coordinates you want to send to, making sure the "Colonize" mission type is selected, and hitting "Dispatch".
