Colony Drop: Difference between revisions

== [[Video Games]] ==

* In the arcade game Cybattler, what appears to be the remains of some of the Moon have been used to create a Orbital Ring System of connecting chunks. At the end of the first level, one of the largest chuncks seems to make planetfall.

* ''[[Xenogears]]'' gives us the fall of Solaris. People, when the counterweight/city on the other end of an orbital elevator snaps like a twig, don't be under it when it hits, tends to leave holes in continents.

* ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic Adventure 2]]'' had the Space Colony ARK dropped. Dr. Eggman's grandfather, professor Gerald Robotnik, locked away and shunned by the public for his frightening expiriments, exacts revenge in spirit by programming the colony to crash into Earth. The presence of the gargantuan [[Eldritch Abomination|Biolizard]] makes matter ''far'' worse, as it tries to fuse with the colony and forcibly drag it down into the planet. After both Sonic and Shadow power up to their super forms, the duo ultimately slays Biolizard, but with the colony swiftly entering Earth's atmosphere, they have only seconds to stop an imminent doomsday. Sonic's solution to stopping this is to use [[Mass Teleportation|Chaos Control]] to send it back into orbit. {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice|Shadow, on the other hand... does the unthinkable.]]}}
