Zero Gravity Universe Lore:
The 2100s saw the rise of Earth Protectorate (comprised of nations of post-environmental incident Earth and Luna colonial cities (the Moon)) and the Martian Colonial Commonwealth. Mars Colonial Commonwealth had already knowledge of space-based technologies while Earth had fallen into the Technological Dark Age after Global War 2 and lost the knowledge of the majority of space-based technologies. 
After the Technological Dark Ages, Earth saw itself transformed, the wastelands of the former earth nations transformed into fertile lands with dangerous animals. FEZ, Federation of Equatorial Zones was one of the few dominant powers of Earth around this time. The others included smaller city-states that were part of the former megaregion cities of old-world nations.

Although first imagined in the early 2000s, the concept of Zero Gravity was inspired first by EVE Online MMORPG. It wasn't until the Space Engineers and The Expanse that further inspired the lore of Zero Gravity.
