Lost Colony	comment	A human colony on another planet experiences a disaster which destroys its communications or space travel capability, and for some reason the rest of humanity never checks up on that colony with which it suddenly lost all contact. In some cases, the colony may still have comms, but Earth has faced a calamity or apocalypse, so there's no one answering at Mission Control. Alternatively, a spaceship having nothing to do with colonization is forced to make an emergency landing on a habitable planet in an uncharted star system, and for some reason, they never get rescued. Either way, the colony must try to survive without any resupplying or new information from Earth. The first generations may continue to use the advanced technology, but over the generations, their descendants' politics, economics and culture regress to match their pre-Industrial Revolution technology level. Over time, the descendants may also forget that their ancestors ever came from another planet, making the story at first glance seem to be set in a pure fantasy world. Oftentimes whatever remains of the old technology will be mistaken for magic by the colonists' descendants. Sometimes there is genuine supernatural magic happening, or something that can pass for it, and all advanced technology has been lost. And sometimes the old technology and genuine magic are used side by side. In some cases, a colony leader or faction may intentionally destroy the communications gear or sabotage the space vessels to ensure that there is no rescue, and keep the colony isolated. Maybe they think advanced tech is evil. Maybe they are part of La RÃ©sistance and they fear a reprisal if Earth vessels find them. And of course, it's always popular to reveal that Earth was really a lost colony and that Humanity Came from Space, though genetic evidence that humans and other Earth organisms are biologically related, all the way back to the first bacteria, has made this increasingly hard to sustain. Of course, the theory of panspermia, that the first bacteria were dropped on Earth from space, still enables a scientifically plausible "Lost Colony" in a far more general sense. These worlds are a popular venue for Planetary Romances. Less commonly, a Lost Colony can occur in an isolated region of Earth, such as a hidden valley, rainforest, or shipwrecked on an uncharted island. The lost people may thrive in their isolated paradise, struggle to eke out an existence, or Go Mad from the Isolation. Compare with After the End and Space Amish. Contrast Transplanted Humans. Usually comes after Settling the Frontier. Has nothing to do with the eponymous level. WARNING: These examples necessarily contain spoilers. Examples

Lost Colony / int_150c3efe	comment	Empire from the Ashes: Earth was settled over 50,000 years ago after a mutiny rendered a picket starship inoperable and armed mutineers took everything high-tech away from loyalists. The 1st novel, Mutineers' Moon, deals with overthrowing the mutineers, who still secretly rule Earth. By the way, other life on Earth is related to humans because it was seeded with life by the same aliens who seeded the real human homeworld. Neanderthals and other primates evolved in parallel and are not closely related to humans. The 3rd novel, Heirs of Empire, introduces another lost colony â€” Pardal. When the rest of the Fourth Empire was wiped out by a bio-weapon accident, Pardal survived, but outlawed science and technology. It still managed to progress from stone age to flintlock guns â€” in 45,000 years.

With their ship too damaged to continue, they eked out a living on a Death World in the habitable zone for a few hundred years until the Federation found them.

Lost Colony / int_169f043b	comment	StarCraft: The entire Koprulu Sector is a lost colony. Originally, Earth was dabbling with the concept of interstellar colonization, and already had success within the Solar System. One enterprising scientist built a fleet of colony ships, rounded up thousands of "colonists" (in reality convicted criminals because they were easy to obtain), and promptly shot them toward the nearest habitable planet. However, a freak accident caused the fleet to lose the coordinates of both their destination and Earth. They eventually were forced to stop in the Koprulu Sector. Eventually, the various human factions developed into small spacefaring empires. In the expansion, the United Earth Directorate finally discovers the lost colony and attempts to subjugate it. It doesn't end well. We eventually find out that the UED knew about the colonies and was just monitoring them from afar, content to let events take their course. Then they found out about the Zerg and the Protoss and decided to step in.

Lost Colony / int_17bfcf60	comment	In the original Homeworld the lost colonies of the Hiigarans are an important plot point: Kharak, the starting point for the player's fleet, is inhabited by the Kushan, who, true to this trope, have long forgotten their origin, relegated to religious myth and a few fringe scientific theories (if ones backed by DNA analysis) and believe themselves native until the rediscovery of Khar-toba, the long-abandoned landing site that still houses the original colony ship and inside the Guidestone (that has a map back to Hiigara) and a hyperdrive module. Thus the Kushan started building the Mothership, in part to find their ancestral homeworld and in part to escape before climate change makes the planet uninhabitable... But the launch of the Mothership causes a sudden attack from the Taiidan Empire that wipes out all life from the planet, forcing the Mothership to retrieve the few survivors in crio sleep capsules and travel to Hiigara to establish a colony. During the voyage to Hiigara the Kushan meet the Kadeshi, who are eventually revealed to descend from the Hiigarans like the Kushan when a ship of the same type as the Khar-toba is discovered. Differently from the Kushan they remember where they came from and why, and their hostility comes from the fact they're terrified the Taiidan will track them down and wipe them out, and thus kill everyone who passes in their territory to avoid them bringing back news of their existence. Eventually the Bentusi reveals the Hiigarans' full history: they had lost a war with the ancient Taiidan and had been exiled from their homeworld in a number of sublight transports, also being forbidden from ever using hyperspace technology ever again. The Kushan descend from the crews of four ships (one of which carried the Guidestone and the hyperspace module), while the Kadeshi descend from the crew of a ship that broke down along the way. The tale also hint there may be other colonies established from the crews of other ships that broke down during the voyage, but this is never touched upon in the following games. The RPG states that most known sapient life in the Homeworld galaxy is human, including Hiigarans, Taiidan, and Turanic Raiders, however nobody knows humanity came to exist on so many planets. Hypotheses include the possibility that they're all lost colonies, or Transplanted Humans used as slaves by Precursors, or that the Progenitors were human and their descendants got knocked back to the stone age, or even simple convergent evolution.

Lost Colony / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age The village of Haven in Dragon Age: Origins is a form of this trope. It was established centuries ago by followers of the prophet Andraste, who created the village just outside of an elaborate temple they built to house her ashes. The village residents were charged with the perpetual guardianship of the ashes. While the rest of Ferelden sprang up around the village and changed with the passing of time, Haven remained in complete isolation - it doesn't even appear on any maps of the country and most people don't know it exists. Although its inhabitants are essentially of the same religion as the rest of Ferelden, they're unaware of the Chantry (Ferelden's church) or certain laws and regulations. Worse, in the last several generations, they've come to the erroneous conclusion that a dragon is the reincarnation of the prophet, and the village has evolved into a murderous Ax-Crazy cult. The dwarven city of Kal-Sharok was thought lost to the darkspawn for centuries by the inhabitants of Orzammar, the only other remaining underground dwarven city (and home of both dwarf protagonists in Origins). In the face of annihilation, Orzammar sealed itself off and abandoned the rest of the dwarven empire for dead, assuming all other cities lost. Kal-Sharok managed to survive, however, and has become very insular and secretive and evolved a far different society. It was rediscovered a few years prior to the events of the first game, and according to King Endrin and Lord Shaper Czibor, they still haven't forgiven Orzammar for abandoning them.

Lost Colony / int_2250e67e	comment	The Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Terra Nova" has the crew visiting one that was mysteriously lost; at the time, Earth didn't have fast enough ships to check up on it, and they didn't ask the Vulcans for some reason.note Probably related to Vulcans being a Higher-Tech Species and having a tendency to be a bit condescending about it, which humanity was not pleased about. A natural disaster occurred, but the colonists assumed it was a revenge attack from Earth after they separated; only the children survived living a primitive life in caves shielded from the radiation. They believe themselves to be aliens, and that humans attacked them all those years ago, so are mistrustful when the Enterprise crew turn up.

In the third book, we learn that it's also a colony of an unnamed alien race. Also, the original colony has its own Lost Colony, although that was founded in a more low-tech manner (putting lots of people on ocean-going vessels). It turns out that this colony has been actively staying lost by killing the expeditions sent to re-establish contact with it.

Gunne lured the nigh-unstoppable malfunctioning Terraformer fleet away from Earth through its Jump Gate before destroying it behind his ship. Gunne's ship crash-lands on a habitable planet and the crew sets about rebuilding civilization while removing all references to Earth, as they think their gambit failed and the Earth was destroyed. Over seven hundred years go by before the Earth State is reunited with the Argon Federation in X3: Reunion, though it doesn't go well; Earth's paranoia about Argon AI research causes them to get involved in a Space Cold War that soon turns into a Guilt-Free Extermination War after the Argon blow up Earth's Torus Aeternal following the uncovering of an extensive Terran spy network in Argon space. The Free State of Aldrin is also a lost Terran colony, presumed destroyed when the Terraformers went rogue and the jump gates went haywire. It is reconnected in X3: Terran Conflict, and is the only system which has non-corrupted Terraformers. Both the Teladi and the Split are also cut off from their homeworlds by jump gates rearranging themselves. The Teladi rediscover their homeworld in X2: The Threat (which integrates peacefully with the space society they've built), while the Split are unsure if their original homeworld even exists anymore... or, for that matter, if it even existed at all. At the end of X3: Albion Prelude, the entire jumpgate network is shut down, leaving individual star systems completely cut off from each other, and resulting in dozens upon dozens of new Lost Colonies (though they keep in touch, slowly, via near-lightspeed messenger drones). In X:Rebirth and X4, centuries later, a few jumpgates are reactivated and the colonies begin opening travel and trade with each other again.

Atlas is not technically lost, but since neither Faster-Than-Light Travel nor Subspace Ansible is possible in this 'verse (or, at least, hasn't been discovered yet), it's pretty much isolated from Earth and left to its own devices. The only news from the homeworld comes in the form of a rare ship that arrives with new settlers. The first ship (after the original colony ship) was full of prisoners, who assimilated into the population, the second ship was a warship that unsuccessfully attempted to subjugate Atlas under the boot of a tyrannical government back on Earth, and the third ship was fully of pilgrims who claimed that Earth has been destroyed because it was full of sinners (naturally, few believed them). At the time the novel takes place, a fourth ship is on the way.

The Colonists spend much of the series looking for Earth, Kobol's other lost colony. The 1978 original was canceled before the fleet could find Earth, but was followed by Galactica 1980 where two fighter pilots and a group of Colonial children secretly live on Earth in the 1980s, working to covertly prepare the world for their eventual arrival. In the 2003 reboot Earth is discovered to be a nuclear wasteland as the result of another human-Cylon conflict. Ultimately, our Earth is revealed to be their lost colony which they settled on 150,000 years ago.

However at the time when the series takes place, it's already been rediscovered through another route for three generations. It does still bear the barbaric mark of that time, however. Alpha Colony, one of America's first attempts at space colonization by using sublight drives, was forgotten after a world war brought other concerns into play. When the war was over and wormhole technology had been discovered, a path was found to Alpha Colony, where all of the colonists had died out.

Atlantis itself was almost a lost colony during the first season as they were completely cut off from earth. In Stargate Universe some members of the expedition attempted to start one of these. Unfortunately they all (rather depressingly realistically) died from accidents or exposure. And "now" an alternate timeline version of the Destiny crew founded an entire civilization two thousand years ago, which advanced to the point where they began using the stargates and slowships to colonize other planets. Unfortunately the colonies were then cut off when a supervolcano destroyed their homeworld and drones attacked their stargates, becoming lost colonies of a lost colony.

Lost Colony / int_629cd094	comment	The village of Haven in Dragon Age: Origins is a form of this trope. It was established centuries ago by followers of the prophet Andraste, who created the village just outside of an elaborate temple they built to house her ashes. The village residents were charged with the perpetual guardianship of the ashes. While the rest of Ferelden sprang up around the village and changed with the passing of time, Haven remained in complete isolation - it doesn't even appear on any maps of the country and most people don't know it exists. Although its inhabitants are essentially of the same religion as the rest of Ferelden, they're unaware of the Chantry (Ferelden's church) or certain laws and regulations. Worse, in the last several generations, they've come to the erroneous conclusion that a dragon is the reincarnation of the prophet, and the village has evolved into a murderous Ax-Crazy cult.

In this case the loss of technology was deliberate. Considering that the government of Earth became isolationist around the time Gramarye was settled, it is not surprising that they were not found for a long time. This same isolationist policy cut off all of earths colonies from the technological goods of the homeworld, leading many of them to lose all tech. They were not exactly lost colonies, since earth knew where they were in most cases, but it was practically the same thing. Although there were a few that earth had lost the paperwork for, come to think of it. Before he settled down on Gramarye, the protagonist's job was to search out lost colonies and steer them towards democracy; in the Wizard sequel series, his son takes up the job.

Lost Colony / int_81692f99	comment	A couple Star Trek episodes featured the re-discovery of a Lost Colony or two. The Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Terra Nova" has the crew visiting one that was mysteriously lost; at the time, Earth didn't have fast enough ships to check up on it, and they didn't ask the Vulcans for some reason.note Probably related to Vulcans being a Higher-Tech Species and having a tendency to be a bit condescending about it, which humanity was not pleased about. A natural disaster occurred, but the colonists assumed it was a revenge attack from Earth after they separated; only the children survived living a primitive life in caves shielded from the radiation. They believe themselves to be aliens, and that humans attacked them all those years ago, so are mistrustful when the Enterprise crew turn up. Star Trek: Discovery has the titular ship discovering a planet populated by the descendants of a hundred or so humans, rescued by a mysterious angelic figure at the height of World War III from a church. Without any technological base, they have reverted to an agrarian lifestyle. Unable to figure out which religion adequately explains what happened, they have chosen to create an Interfaith Smoothie out of all major Earth religions. Most think that Earth destroyed itself during the war and that they are the last humans in existence. Some believe differently. Since they were taken from Earth without a ship and aren't even close to being warp-capable, Pike insists on keeping to the Prime Directive at any cost. The Romulans started out as this, being Vulcans that rejected Surak's reform and left (or were forced out) to make their own world somewhere else.

Lost Colony / int_9a0c0ffa	comment	The History of the Galaxy: Happens a lot. After the discovery of the Hypersphere anomaly, hundreds of colony ships were sent out to colonize other worlds. Many got lost due to the poorly-understood nature of the anomaly and lack of navigation equipment that works in another dimention. Throughout the series, many lost colonies are being rediscovered, many of which have regressed to barbarism and forgotten their origins. One short story details a demonstration of a new type of Space Fighter that involves dropping a cluster bomb onto a planet thought to be devoid of life. However, during the demonstration, a sensor on the planetary surface detects the presence of a human child, making the testers realize what a horrible mistake they've made. Luckily, a daring pilot manages to save the colony. The First Galactic War started when the corrupt government of the overpopulated Earth decided to look outside the Solar System for habitable worlds to offload extra people. They sent scount ships, which returned with disturbing news. Nearly all nearby star systems already had colonies from ships sent centuries before. Realizing the colonists would object to an influx of unwanted rabble from Earth, Earth's president decides to launch a pre-emptive strike in order to put the upstart colonies in their place. What follows is a 30-year war that Earth eventually loses. Word of God is that over 7000 colony ships left Earth in the 50-year period following the invention of the hyperdrive. Only a few hundred have been re-discovered.

Their ancestors crash-landed on the planetoid 2,000 years earlier and founded the colony, known as the Last-of-all-Cities. They live as the ancient Vulcans did prior to the Time of Awakening when Surak convinced his people to embrace logic and suppress their emotions. There are two mutually antagonistic groups in the colony. The main group, led by the Matriarch T'Kell, seek to rejoin the galactic community and conquer Vulcan in order to return the planet to its ancient roots. The rogue group, led by Commander Tagok, seek to maintain their isolation from the rest of the galaxy. Tagok captured the Cortez and butchered most of its crew. For her part, T'Kell rescued its captain John Stone and the surviving crewmembers as she thought that they would prove useful. She intended to use the Enterprise to achieve her plans of conquest. Spock believes that the Vulcans of Darien 224 have the potential to be even more dangerous to the Federation than the Klingons and the Tholians.

Lost Colony / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: The setting has these in abundance, sometimes simply because the massive bureaucracy that governs the Imperium loses records of worlds due to filing errors. In other cases, lost colonies that wound up on particularly challenging worlds are rediscovered and left in their primitive state because their inhabitants make such good soldiers, with the Imperium only occasionally popping in to recruit a company or two for the Imperial Guard. Others, such as Fenris, serve as Space Marine homeworlds, the recruits only learning of the existence of the wider galaxy after joining the Chapter. This was the case pre-imperium as well, after catastrophes such as the Robot War that ended the Dark Age of Technology, and the massive disturbance of Warp routes in the centuries preceding Slaanesh's birth. The Emperor revealed himself to mankind afterwards to end the Age of Strife, and launched the Great Crusade to unite all human-controlled worlds once again, by force when necessary. Moreover, it used to be implied rather heavily that the Warhammer setting was an example of a world that had been cut off from Imperium contact, with hints that Sigmar and Bel'hakor were the two missing Primarchs. GW have subsequently moved away from this attitude however, treating the two game settings as being completely independent and leaving the fate of the Primarchs as a Riddle for the Ages by design.

The nigh-immortal Trans Human colonists are forced to settle on a world which is extremely metal-poor (particularly in salts and iron), making any kind of machinery precious beyond belief and every drop of blood lost a tragedy. One character laments that there's metal in the world, but so far below the ground that it is unreachable to the damaged machinery of the starship. The colonists cooperated with each other for a short time, but the strains of resource shortages fractured them into dozens of small groups, who often fight each other for resources. "Eater-of-bone" isn't meaningless, either, because even bone and marrow hold the metals required for metabolism.

Later joined by a Klingon penal planet (and the task force trying to restore order there).

When the Succession Wars broke out, the three centuries of technological decline forced many colonies had to be abandoned, or outright died off from lack of shipments of vital technology or resources.

The Grey Men who are the villains in several novels turn out to come from such a colony; their ancestors assumed they'd been abandoned deliberately on a Death World and so future generations were brought up to seek revenge.

Lost Colony / int_deae9e76	comment	US Heavy Metal band Iced Earth did a variant this with their Something Wicked arc. In it, humanity, a (very nearly) galaxy-spanning empire, came to Earth in order to conquer it. The natives, being at a clear disadvantage, decided to hide away a small fraction of their populace and initiate "The Clouding," completely wiping the memory of the entire human race, causing them to instantly revert back to the stone age. All of this in order to initiate a plan to wipe them all out 10,000 years later. How a galaxy-wide empire was contained on a single planet, or, alternatively, why the ''rest'' of the galaxy-spanning empire didn't come looking for their friends, is never adequately explained.

Humans had dabbled in wormhole research before they settled on hyperdrives, and sent a colony to Deneb that was presumed to be lost. Said colony survived on a Death World, and became an authoritarian, militarized state that is hostile to its alien neighbors. As of version 2.6, you can select this as your empire's origin, which means that a more advanced empire of the same species will exist somewhere in the galaxy.

Their technology collapsed, then was rebuilt, they re-developed spaceflight and were rediscovered by mainstream galactic society before Starfighters of Adumar. They hold to some social customs that the rest of the galaxy finds weird, like still having many drastically different countries. The Children in Galaxy of Fear are like a very small scale of this. Their parents crashed on Dagobah and died when the oldest of the Children was seven. They were malnourished and poorly educated, having no concept of places beyond the swamp, so came off as some kind of weird tribe which revered a parent's Apocalyptic Log.

Lost Colony / int_e76f2e85	comment	The Murderbot Diaries. Colonies established by the Corporate Rim have had their founding companies go bankrupt, or fall to hostile takeovers (that's literally hostile in some cases) causing the data on their location to be lost or destroyed. The colonists usually die if the terraforming is too cheap or not fully established. Preservation was founded after a spaceship captain insisted on rescuing colonists who'd been left to die and settling them on another world, and this altruism has become the foundation of their society. Sometimes datamining is able to retrieve the locations of these lost colonies which corporations then seek to exploit as much of the machinery is already in place—too bad about the descendents of any colonists who might be making use of it. The university that Perihelion works for likes to put a spanner in the works by finding (or, it's implied, forging) documents that prove the legal rights were signed over to the colonists before they were cut off.

Lost in space until the 1950s, the ran out of fuel and landed on Earth, where after an initial scuffle, they integrated into human society over the decades and even had children with humans. While reverse engineering brought humanity's technology level up, it is still far below what the Mysterians came from. When the Xilians attacked the world in 2004, they found the Mysterians and considered the Planet Earth a lost colony of the old Xilian Empire; using it as justification for their attempted conquest.

Lost Colony / int_ed86d97	comment	The main setting of the Blue Planet RPG is a planet named "Poseidon" that used to be one of these — the Earth used a stable wormhole discovered at the edge of the Solar System to travel to it, however Earth suffered a genetically engineered crop blight that killed half the population and couldn't afford to send supplies or colonists for decades. The result of this period without contact was that the original colonists created their own society, and the conflict is now of the original natives that don't like either colonist group, the older colonists that want to defend what they built, and the new arrivals that are mostly members of the new Earth governments and mega-corporations.

Lost Colony / int_f74b5f80	comment	Played with in Babylon 5, where the rather human-looking Centauri originally claimed that Earth was a lost colony. When called on it, they excused it as a clerical error. "We thought your world was Beta 9, actually it was Beta 12." The truth was discovered when Humans got their hands on medical data regarding the Centauri and discovered that despite outward appearances, Centauri physiology is very different from Human physiology. According to the Psi Corps Trilogy, the humans were pretty skeptical of the claim to begin with, but decided not to press the issue while the Centauri were willing to do business with the humans and advance their technology base. Played straight with most of Earth space: Earth lies in the middle of what used to be the rimward marches of the Centauri Republic at their peak, and is surrounded by worlds the Centauri abandoned during a devastating civil war and didn't bother to retake before humanity claimed them. This is how the Centauri came up with the claim that Earth was a lost colony: not only it was plausible, it had already happened with other worlds. Also played straight with the Sh'lassen, only mentioned in the show but revealed in the Expanded Universe to be a group of humans who favored a feudal political system so procured a few spaceships with faulty jump drives and left, and found and settled another abandoned Centauri world, living in isolation for decades (and colonizing a nearby world) before being discovered. The expanded universe states that some Dilgar survive on one such colony, far away from the races the Dilgar tried to drive into extinction and preparing to launch another attack in the far future. Another group of Dilgar lives on another such colony hidden inside Earth Alliance space, and have progressively adopted human customs preparing for the day they will be able to rejoin the wider galaxy in peace.

Lost Colony / int_f9742e61	comment	Dragonriders of Pern: The series is set on a Lost Colony, with the original colonists having used what remained of their technology to genetically engineer the telepathic, teleporting dragons which guard the world from the bicentennial rain of alien parasites. It should be noted here that the rest of humanity DID send a ship to check it out, which found a small group who convinced the crew that everyone else had perished. The captain of the ship then quarantined Pern's system because of the Thread. Also, Pern was intended from the start to be cut off from the rest of Humanity. the Pern colonists wanted to get away from the politics and war suffusing the rest of the Galaxy, and live a simple agrarian life with limited technology. Thread turned life on Pern into a struggle for survival, and caused them to lose the little bit of technology they intended to keep. The loss of knowledge of life before Pern was gradual; a book set in the Second Pass (roughly 150 years after the colonists arrived) mentions that computers still exist, but are becoming less practical as power and repairs get harder to come by. A book set in the Fourth Pass shows that the idea of Man coming to Pern from space is a one of two competing hypotheses rather than a plain historical fact, and by the Ninth Pass (when the "main" series takes place, 2500 years after Landing), even said ideas are completely forgotten.
