>You have unlimited resources
Infinitely thick walls of layered walls consisting of diamonds, lava, and shit. Have fun trying to get in.

Well first you gotta find out what the goddamn shit is actually THERE.

Which means extensive survey and sensor sweeps and actually going out to the areas you're planning to build at - and scouring the landscape.

But just in case of running into anything, people ought to have weapons.

Most likely going to be Animals, and they could be big, so you need something that has alot of meat penetration.

If you've got energy weapons then thats going to be something like:
> Particle Beam
> Laser
> Low Velocity (High Mass) Coilgun Flechette


If you're stuck with firearms then we're talking about shit like
> .458 Socom
> .50 bmg from something like a GM-6 Lynx

And emergency response teams will have Flamethrowers just in case there's some kinda creepy crawly bug shit that gets stirred up (including if energy weapons are available, because a flamethrower covers an area better than a plasma weapon would honestly).


This is just for the initial survey crews though. After they discover what the hell is there, if it wasn't immediately obvious on the scans, then we'd know what better to defend ourselves with.

well first id stage a full scale invasion of the planet with literally as many men, tanks, and aircraft as possible.

once planet is secured.

a city surounded by pits with smooth walls fanned out around it like a funnel.

everyone is armed with ar-15s
>they worked in covenant
>we should have super spoopy ammo innafuture

we perform biweekly drills.

there is a flock of drones on 24/7 surveillance outside the city.

everyone has IR glasses because future.
>if it moves and isnt wearing an IR flag, it dies.

i build an oneil cylinder in planet/star L1 orbit.

I then drop asteroids on the planet until biosphere has collapsed to only the smallest, lowest energy requiring, hardiest life forms.


then we terraform the planet.

in a few hundred/thousand years. the planet will be ready for habitation.

Fuck it. I'm spending my time creating little breeds with Deja Thoris.
