Trailblazer Lander
Overview
The Trailblazer Lander is a landing action that places a single Duplicant onto the surface of a planetoid from an orbiting Trailblazer Module. It functions as the on‑site arrival for a Duplicant traveling from a Trailblazer Module that is positioned in orbit around the target planetoid. The action specifically moves one Duplicant from orbital presence to surface presence on that planetoid.
This entity exists to bridge orbital and surface operations: when a Trailblazer Module is in orbit, the Trailblazer Lander is the mechanism that delivers personnel to the planetoid below. The effect is strictly a transport of a Duplicant from the module in orbit to the planetoid; it does not describe any secondary effects, resource exchanges, or automated repeated trips in the source descriptions. The operation is described consistently across multiple localizations as placing or landing a Duplicant on a planetoid from a Trailblazer Module that occupies orbit.
Practical notes and usage considerations:
- The Trailblazer Lander always refers to a single Duplicant being landed; coordinate selection or timing details are governed by the Trailblazer Module’s orbital state.
- The Trailblazer Module serves as the origin of the landing; the lander action cannot be performed independently of a Trailblazer Module in orbit.
- Use the Trailblazer Lander to deploy crew onto a planetoid surface for exploration, base setup, or mission objectives that require a Duplicant to be physically present on the planetoid.
- Because its description is limited to the transport action itself, any planning about exact landing location, environmental hazards on the planetoid, or follow‑up logistics must be handled by the player using other buildings and mission controls tied to the Trailblazer Module and the planetoid surface.
The Trailblazer Lander is therefore the direct link between orbital staging and surface operations: it places a Duplicant onto the planetoid from a Trailblazer Module that is in orbit.
