Shades of Blue

"When mankind first discovered Pern, third planet of the sun Rukbat, in the Sagittarian Sector, the paid little attention to the eccentric orbit of another satellite in the system. Settling the new planet, adjusting to its difference, the colonists spread out accross the southern, most hospitable continent.

Then disaster struck in the form of a rain of mycorrhizoid organisms, which voraciously devoured all but stone, metal andwater. The initial losses were staggering. But, fortunately for the young colony, 'Thread' as the settlers called the devastating showers, was not entirely invincible: both water and fire would destroy the menace on contact.

Using their old-world ingenuity and genetic engineering, the settlers altered an indigenous life form that resembled the dragons of legend. Bonded with a human at birth, these enormous creatures became Pern's most effective weapon against Thread. Able to chew and digest a phosphine-bearing rock, the dragons could literally breathe fire and sear the airbourne Thread before it could reach the ground. Able not only to fly but to teleport as well, the dragons could manoeuvre quickly to avoid injury during their battles with Thread. And their telepathic communication enabled them to work with their riders and with each other to form extremely efficient fighting units."
- The Skies of Pern by Anne McCaffrey

Fort Weyr is set in the 13th Pass on Pern, and is a roleplay by email game, with a 'zine and some IM play on the side. It is a chance for fans of Anne McCaffrey's world of Pern to play out their fantasies and write what is known as fanfiction.
