Thanks Anarchid, fixed the typos |

How old is your fork? I suspect the conflicts are whitespace changes from the 16th of August. |

Five months old, so it checks out. Also fixed more typos |

Finally got rid of those conflicts |

I like it, although the text does not fit on the UI for smaller screens.or 1360x768.
I'll fiddle with the placement of elements for small windows. |
Fixed a typo on planet 67.

In case you're unfamiliar with github, that message means I committed changes to your fork. You should pull and take a look at them to make sure they work for all planets. The main change is that I removed Primary and Type on small screens. If they are required they can be added somewhere else. |

Primary and type not being visible on smaller resolutions is not a problem. Checking all the briefing texts on 1360x768, they are fine. Without primary and type, they even have extra space compared to 800 height. Thanks for fixing my oversight - getting those texts even shorter would have been a challenge! In-game text adds a bit more scrolling for the longest ones, but it doesn't make a significant difference. 32 pixels is only about half the height of a tip. |

WIP for the new campaign scenario:
Codex pages have not been written yet, so this is only half of the actual work. The endings, in particular, are by necessity codex entries.
However, many players will probably not read most of the codex entries, if any, and this is how the story is initially conveyed, so it is still important that it can stand on its own.
English is not my native language, and this format with series of very short texts is unusual for me, so please watch out for typos, weird expressions and unclear sentences.
Feedback and (constructive) criticism on the scenario itself and the varied entries is also very welcome.
Tested on 1024x768 resolution for avoiding text overflow, and minimize scrolling in the objective/tips in-game menu.
Story inspired by the game Duskers (or at least the early part I played), memories from the beginning of the Sunrise campaign, summaries of previous Planetwars factions, and whatever the missions or the planet's position inspired me at the moment.
