You rarely saw him in your later teen years, seeing more often on television, leading negoiations on Ceres. You are Kayla Sheridan, the daughter of David Sheridan, the UN Foreign Minister to the Outer Colonies.ĭespite your father, David Sheridan, spending much of his life working for peace and understanding in the Outer Colonies, you didn't see him as often as you would like. The Independence Wars of 2257 began, the first, and hopefully last, major war, leading to the Solar Peace Accords of 2260, recognising the independence of the Mars Techno Republic, while the smaller orbital colonies in the belt remained under the thumb of Earth's UN or Mars Technocracy, the colonies and stations whom refused to fall under their rule were left to fend for themselves, leading prolonged issues of piracy, slavery, terrorism and an assortment of other problems in the colonies beyond Mars, problems that persist to this day. However, after a century of peace and progress, humanity became fractured, a generation of people raised on the the colonies no longer seeing themselves 'of Earth' and declaring themselves as independent, sovereign nations. Luna was a governmental and administration center, in which the UNN built the formible UN Navy which helped aid the colonisation efforts, peacekeeping and safeguarding the belt from the ever growing threat of piracy and organisaned crime.

Mars brought about a golden age of scientific progress and enlightenment. Over the next few decades, Earth saw an exodus to Luna, Mars, moons throughout the system and even to the resource rich asteroids dotted throughout the system. The UN Secretary-General subsequently became the leader of all humanity, pooling the dwindling resources of Earth with the goal of human colonisation of Luna, Mars and onwards. The dwindling, declining population of Earth was at breaking point.įollowing the catastrophic damage done to the planet's ecosystem, the world's leading nations decided to finally put aside their individual interests and international differences and achieve global unification. Yet, it took human civilization to teeter on the brink of self destruction, following the global resource wars of the mid-21st Century, limited nuclear exchanges, border skirmishes, coups at the highest levels of government. It has always been the final frontier for humanity, without the colonisation of space, all of the culture and art, the achievements of humanity would be for nought.
