Colonization

Colonization is the general concept of expanding one's territory to another area or planet via immigration.
== History ==
=== Early Human Expansion Across Minecraftia ===
Millennia after humanity first arrived to the world of Minecraftia, their population increased from a thousand to a few million. Many different groups of humans found ways to travel to other continents. 
=== Tier 4 Colonization ===
In 2000 AS, humanity successfully conducted a manned mission to the moon, setting up a small outpost and attempting to colonize the moon. The colonization attempts failed, with the moon's environment deemed to "dangerous" and "unstable" for the next generation of humans. Over the next several centuries, humanity began sending manned missions to worlds such as Venus, Mars, and the Jovian moons. By 7000 AS, the United Human Government had unlimited access to the Sol system's oort cloud. This allowed them to bring life to many colonized worlds, and even help to cool off Venus. 
=== Development of the Redstone Slipspace Drive ===
The UHG's scientific department successfully developed a slipspace drive in 8000 AS, and prepped multiple missions to colonize other star systems. The Citizens Council had to gather large sums of money as well as a vast amount of redstone and resources. In only a few years, the UHG had developed a colonization fleet large enough to carry billions to other star systems. The massive starships that carried the colonists were later dismantled and converted into cities or battleships. However, most, if not all of these new colonies violently broke away from the UHG's corrupt civilian government.
=== Present Day ===
Modern colonization involves the usage of massive cruisers that can carry hundreds of thousands of humans. If a planet is not suitable for human life, multiple atmosphere processing plants will need to be built and activated, allowing for planets to be fully terraformed in a few short months. With the invention of the atmospheric shell, even the smallest worlds are able to maintain a full atmosphere.
