Off-World
Movie/Westwood Game/Book
Space colonization outside planet Earth.
In the movie the Blimp floats over the city constantly advertising the benefits of OffWorld Colonization, stating:
"A new life awaits you in the Off-World colonies. The chance to begin again in a golden land of opportunity and adventure.
New climate, recreational facilities.....absolutely free. Use your new friend as a personal body servant or a tireless field
hand--the custom tailored genetically engineered humanoid replicant designed especially for your needs. So come on America,
let's put our team up there...." Added for BRDC: "This annoucement is brought to you by the Shimato Dominguez Corporation
- helping America into the New World."
"...the Earth has become so polluted and congested, that the populace
are
encouraged to migrate to "off world colonies". The reasons for this pollution are not really explained in the film,
but in the novel the radioactive dust and pollution was caused by "World War Terminus", also referred to as "W.W.T.". "
(excert
from Do Androids Dream of Blade Running? by Mark Casey)
In order to migrate to the "Off-World Colonies" one must pass the minimum mental faculties
test, and physical.
In DADoES it is referred to as the"colony world" and it
is insinuated that there are three planets that make up this colonization. However, only Mars is mentioned. New America is
a U.S. settlement on Mars.
