## History (for now)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Within living memory of the next moon landings the human race became a spacefaring species. While clunky at first, with a huge mortality rate, corporate profits had to be kept so this improved dramatically. When local space travel within the solar system became affordable for the rich everything within the first astroid belt got explored. Before the Kuiper belt was reached near-FTL flight was invented, and shortly after FTL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Once FTL hit the spacefairer scene the stars were the limited. While costly, it allowed nations, people to explore the stars and settle for a new world. This is where the fracturing of humanity began. While Terra remained _friendly_, the colonies were developing and organising on their own. And thanks to the distance from home, control was hard and soon these colonies became independent.

|
|
|
+Time passed. Colonies started trading with eachother and with Terra. Technology and Science advanced (mostly ethically). Life improved on Terra, and all was well. Until an experiment on Terra (called The Event) fractured the planet and hurled millions of pieces people called home into space. Most of it got consumed by the sun. The rest got spread out of the solar system. It is estimated that the first chunks are about to leave our solar system.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Without the stabilizing influence of Terra factions started fighting each other, blaming each other for The Event.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+As time progressed...
|
|
|
+* Empires came and went
|
|
|
+* Spiritual factions developed some would call magic to varying degrees
|
|
|
+* Wars were fought over resources, love, or out of boredom
|
|
|
+* Several times first contact with made with alien species. Some were cute, productive, pesky, or an existential threat.

|
+## Factions
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Human Space
|
|
|
+These are all the planets, colonies, ships, and stations occupied by humans. While they are all the same species, they are in no way under single management. There are only different factions, some play nice with each other, but most of them attack and ask questions later.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### Non-Humans
|
|
|
+These are not human. Some of them not be intelligent, or even alive.
