Earth 38

== Initial Colonization ==
In this reality, the Cold War space race went further than in other realities, resulting in both the U.S. and the Soviet Union developing the technology to make other planets inhabitable by humans (aka Terraforming). The U.S. started by terraforming and colonizing the moon in the late 1980's, and the Soviet Union responded by colonizing Mars in the mid-80's. Soon other powers began colonizing planets, resulting in the entirety of the Solar System being colonized by various countries by the middle of the 21st Century. 
== The Intra-Solar Independence War ==
Over time the various planets of the solar system became powerful and strong in their own right, developing vast arrays of new weaponry and technology. And then all the former colonies teamed up to win their independence from earth, forming an alliance called the Inter-Solar Alliance. Earth was quickly crushed. The Intra-Solar Treaty of 2115 was signed after the war, granting all the various former colonies their independence, and established a One-Earth-Government called the Terran Federation. 
== The Inter-Solar Alliance Collapses ==
After the Independence War, factions began to form in the Inter-Solar Alliance.
