Eras
The Space Race (1900s)
A period in history marked by Humanity's first leap into the stars. The first human footsteps are laid down on a celestial body besides Earth.
The Stagnation Era (2000s)
The result of a lack of political engagement with space and adjacent technologies, the first basic manned returns to the Moon did not occur until the middle of the century.
Core Colonisation Age (2100s)
The inner planets see advanced colonisation as the nations of Earth with an interest in space travel consolidate their space agencies and resources into achieving permanent habitation of other planets. Mars is the first to reach a population of 1,000,000 as advances in technology make inhabitation more comfortable.
Peripheral Colonisation Age (2200s)
The most important milestone of the millennium, fusion rockets allow humanity to explode into the Peripheral System with travel times to the peripheral planets reducing from several months to a few weeks. The United Planetary Factions is formed to organise the outflux of Humanity from Earth and oversee the nations of the Solar System. Dyson Swarm Lucifer allows the energy of the Sun to be harvested with extreme efficiency and almost unconstrains the limit of Humanity's energy demand.
Post Colonisation Age (23-2500s)
This age is marked by rapid technological developments as energy consumption becomes uninhibited. Novel and exotic technologies such as the Ring Drive are developed with the near-unrestricted resources at Humanity's disposal.
