Ufology

Ufology is the investigation of unidentified flying objects by people who believe that they may be of extraordinary origins. While there are instances of government, private, and fringe science investigations of UFOs, ufology is regarded by skeptics and science educators as a canonical example of pseudoscience.
List of Spacecraft

The following is a list of spacecraft and their operators.

## The Wanderer

**The Wanderer** is an interplanetary vessel ferrying seven astronauts on a six-year mission across the Solar System.

The Wanderer has many modules, separated by bulkheads. Crew quarters and dining areas are the only sections of the ship to not require artificial gravity as they are located at the end of long rotating arms that provide gravity via centrifugal force.

### Equipment

* VENUS: Capricorn balloon. Aquarius probe.
* MARS: Pisces lander. Aries rover. Taurus buggy. Gemini drones.
* JUPITER: Cancer-Europa undersea drill. Leo lander/colony.
* SATURN: Virgo-Titan lander. Libra-Enceladus probe. Scorpio glider.
* PLUTO: Sagittarius lander.
* COMET: Ophiuchus module with micro-gripper probe.

Amelia Keys

**Amelia Keys** (born 1949, revised to 1975) is an American veterinarian that currently resides in Washington State. She is notable for being the child of an experiment conducted by the Crosans in the late 1940s involving an Air Force captain and a Crosan woman. She disappeared at age 9 in 1958 after the death of her father, she was rediscovered in 1983 not aged a day. She was a key figure in the West Virginia events of 1997. She was physically 23 years old at the time, her elementary school classmates were in their late forties.
United States Air Force

The **United States Air Force** (**USAF**) is the air service branch of the United States Armed Forces, and is one of the eight uniformed services of the United States. Originally created on 1 August 1907, as a part of the United States Army Signal Corps, the USAF was established as a separate branch of the United States Armed Forces in 1947 with the enactment of the National Security Act of 1947. It is the second youngest branch of the United States Armed Forces and the fourth in order of precedence. The United States Air Force articulates its core missions as air supremacy, global integrated intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, rapid global mobility, global strike, and command and control.

The United States Air Force is a military service branch organized within the Department of the Air Force, one of the three military departments of the Department of Defense. The Air Force through the Department of the Air Force is headed by the civilian Secretary of the Air Force, who reports to the Secretary of Defense and is appointed by the President with Senate confirmation. The highest-ranking military officer in the Air Force is the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, who exercises supervision over Air Force units and serves as one of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. As directed by the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of the Air Force, certain Air Force components are assigned to unified combatant commands. Combatant commanders are delegated operational authority of the forces assigned to them, while the Secretary of the Air Force and the Chief of Staff of the Air Force retain administrative authority over their members.

Along with conducting independent air operations, the United States Air Force provides air support for land and naval forces and aids in the recovery of troops in the field. As of 2017, the service operates more than 5,369 military aircraft and 406 ICBMs. The world's largest air force, it has a $156.3 billion budget and is the second largest service branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, with 329,614 active duty airmen, 172,857 civilian personnel, 69,056 reserve airmen, and 107,414 Air National Guard airmen.

## History

USAF is established in 1949 instead of 1947 like OTL.

Spacesuit

A fully equipped **spacesuit** used during spacewalks is actually a miniature spaceship shaped like a human body that protects the astronaut from the dangers of being outside a vehicle while in space or on the Moon. Spacewalking astronauts face radiation, dust, debris, and extreme temperatures.

In the 1980s, space shuttle orbiter crews would use Manned Maneuvering Units to examine and conduct research off-structure.

By the 2020s, it was customary for most spacesuits to have jetpacks embedded into their backpack.
Parapsychology

Parapsychology is the study of alleged psychic phenomena and other paranormal claims, for example related to near-death experiences, synchronicity, apparitional experiences, etc. It is considered to be pseudoscience and is rejected by a vast majority of mainstream scientists. The study of mental phenomena which are excluded from or inexplicable by orthodox scientific psychology (such as hypnosis, telepathy, etc.).
United States Secret Service

The **United States Secret Service** (**USSS** or **Secret Service**) is a federal law enforcement agency under the Department of Homeland Security charged with conducting criminal investigations and protecting U.S. political leaders, their families, and visiting heads of state or government. Until 2003, the Secret Service was part of the Department of the Treasury, as the agency was founded in 1865 to combat the then-widespread counterfeiting of U.S. currency. President Abraham Lincoln signed the legislation on April 14, 1865, just a few hours before he was assassinated. In 1901, the Secret Service was also assigned to presidential protection duties.

Under the presidency of Luke Nichols, the Secret Service became Nichols' premier secret police force.
Saturn

**Saturn** is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest in the Solar System, after Jupiter. It is a gas giant with an average radius of about nine and a half times that of Earth. It has only one-eighth the average density of Earth, but is over 95 times more massive.

Saturn's interior is thought to be composed of a rocky core, surrounded by a deep layer of metallic hydrogen, an intermediate layer of liquid hydrogen and liquid helium, and finally, a gaseous outer layer. Saturn has a pale yellow hue due to ammonia crystals in its upper atmosphere. An electrical current within the metallic hydrogen layer is thought to give rise to Saturn's planetary magnetic field, which is weaker than Earth's, but which has a magnetic moment 580 times that of Earth due to Saturn's larger size. Saturn's magnetic field strength is around one-twentieth of Jupiter's. The outer atmosphere is generally bland and lacking in contrast, although long-lived features can appear. Wind speeds on Saturn can reach 1,800 kilometres per hour (1,100 miles per hour).

The planet has a prominent ring system, which is composed mainly of ice particles, with a smaller amount of rocky debris and dust. At least 146 moons are known to orbit the planet, of which 63 are officially named; this does not include the hundreds of moonlets in its rings. Titan, Saturn's largest moon and the second largest in the Solar System, is larger (while less massive) than the planet Mercury and is the only moon in the Solar System to have a substantial atmosphere.

Robert Zubrin identified Saturn, Uranus and Neptune as "the Persian Gulf of the Solar System", as the largest sources of deuterium and helium-3 to drive a fusion economy, with Saturn the most important and most valuable of the three, because of its relative proximity, low radiation, and large system of moons.

Saturn is the sixth planet from Sol, it is a major contributor of He-3 to the rest of the Sol System.

The Old Empire

**The Old Empire** is the nation-state of independently-spawned ancient humans (commonly referred to as the Firstlife) that existed two million years ago before their collapse. They are the ancestors of Crose humans and Earth humans.

A **Planet of the Dead** is a large space habitat, not necessarily a planet, which has suffered a global cataclysm and been claimed by the Dra'Azon. The Dra'Azon usually preserved the Planet in its post-catastrophe state as a monument to death and destruction.

Planets of the Dead were chosen for having borne witness to a global cataclysmic event, such as the destruction of an indigenous civilization.

Each Planet was surrounded by an interdiction zone called a Quiet Barrier. The Dra'Azon overseer destroyed intruders entering the Barrier. The overseer might transmit a multilingual warning encouraging would-be trespassers to turn back.

## Caretakers

Around 2200 BCE the Dra'Azon came to an agreement with most rival Galactic Federations to permit ships in distress to cross the Quiet Barriers. Small caretaker bases were set up on most Planets to aid these unfortunates. The bases were manned by members from politically neutral and relatively powerless cultures.
Los Angeles Tribune

The ***Los Angeles Times*** is an American daily newspaper that started publishing in Los Angeles in 1881. Based in the Greater Los Angeles area city of El Segundo since 2018, it is the sixth-largest newspaper by circulation in the United States, as well as the largest newspaper in the western United States. Owned by Patrick Soon-Shiong and published by California Times, the paper has won more than 40 Pulitzer Prizes.

In the 19th century, the paper developed a reputation for civic boosterism and opposition to labor unions, the latter of which led to the bombing of its headquarters in 1910. The paper's profile grew substantially in the 1960s under publisher Otis Chandler, who adopted a more national focus. As with other regional newspapers in California and the United States, the paper's readership has declined in recent decades;[*when?*] and it has also been beset by a series of ownership changes, staff reductions, and other controversies. In January 2018, the paper's staff voted to unionize and finalized their first union contract on October 16, 2019. The paper moved out of its historic headquarters in downtown Los Angeles to a facility in El Segundo, near the Los Angeles International Airport, in July 2018. The newspaper's coverage has evolved away from U.S. and international headlines and toward emphasizing California and especially Southern California stories.
Ganymede

**Ganymede**, or **Jupiter III**, is the largest and most massive natural satellite of Jupiter as well as in the Solar System, being a planetary-mass moon. It is the largest Solar System object without an atmosphere, despite being the only moon of the Solar System with a magnetic field. Like Titan, it is larger than the planet Mercury, but has somewhat less surface gravity than Mercury, Io or the Moon.

Ganymede is composed of approximately equal amounts of silicate rock and water. It is a fully differentiated body with an iron-rich, liquid core, and an internal ocean that may contain more water than all of Earth's oceans combined. Its surface is composed of two main types of terrain. Dark regions, saturated with impact craters and dated to four billion years ago, cover about a third of it. Lighter regions, crosscut by extensive grooves and ridges and only slightly less ancient, cover the remainder. The cause of the light terrain's disrupted geology is not fully known, but was likely the result of tectonic activity due to tidal heating. Ganymede orbits Jupiter in roughly seven days and is in a 1:2:4 orbital resonance with the moons Europa and Io, respectively.

Possessing a metallic core, it has the lowest moment of inertia factor of any solid body in the Solar System. Ganymede's magnetic field is probably created by convection within its liquid iron core, also created by Jupiter's tidal forces. The meager magnetic field is buried within Jupiter's far larger magnetic field and would show only as a local perturbation of the field lines. Ganymede has a thin oxygen atmosphere that includes O, O2, and possibly O3 (ozone). Atomic hydrogen is a minor atmospheric constituent. Whether Ganymede has an ionosphere associated with its atmosphere is unresolved.

Ganymede's discovery is credited to Simon Marius and Galileo Galilei, who both observed it in 1610, as the third of the Galilean moons, the first group of objects discovered orbiting another planet. Its name was soon suggested by astronomer Simon Marius, after the mythological Ganymede, a Trojan prince desired by Zeus (the Greek counterpart of Jupiter), who carried him off to be the cupbearer of the gods. Beginning with *Pioneer 10*, several spacecraft have explored Ganymede. The Voyager probes, *Voyager 1* and *Voyager 2*, refined measurements of its size, while *Galileo* discovered its underground ocean and magnetic field. The next planned mission to the Jovian system is the European Space Agency's Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer (JUICE), which was launched in 2023. After flybys of all three icy Galilean moons, it is planned to enter orbit around Ganymede.
Operation Downfall

**Operation Downfall** was the proposed Allied plan for the invasion of the Japanese home islands near the end of World War II. The planned operation was canceled when Japan surrendered following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Soviet declaration of war, and the invasion of Manchuria. The operation had two parts: Operation Olympic and Operation Coronet. Set to begin in November 1945, Operation Olympic was intended to capture the southern third of the southernmost main Japanese island, Kyūshū, with the recently captured island of Okinawa to be used as a staging area. In early 1946 would come Operation Coronet, the planned invasion of the Kantō Plain, near Tokyo, on the main Japanese island of Honshu. Airbases on Kyūshū captured in Operation Olympic would allow land-based air support for Operation Coronet. If Downfall had taken place, it would have been the largest amphibious operation in history, surpassing D-Day.

Japan's geography made this invasion plan quite obvious to the Japanese as well; they were able to accurately predict the Allied invasion plans and thus adjust their defensive plan, Operation Ketsugō, accordingly. The Japanese planned an all-out defense of Kyūshū, with little left in reserve for any subsequent defense operations. Casualty predictions varied widely, but were extremely high. Depending on the degree to which Japanese civilians would have resisted the invasion, estimates ran up into the millions for Allied casualties.
International Space Commission

The **International Space Commission** (or simply, the **ISC**, or the **Space Commission**) is an international body of national space programs that work together in the pursuit of mutual scientific and technology goals regarding space commerce, space exploration, and space travel.

**World Space Exploration Initiative** (later the **World Space Commission)** is an international space launch, global satellite coordination and public outreach organization pooled together from many of the world's space agencies.

## History

For much of the latter half of the twentieth century and early twenty-first century, the disparate space agencies made piecemeal efforts at space exploration. However, in 2030s, the nations of the world finally decided to band together for greater association between space efforts. The World Space Exploration Initiative was born. It later evolved into the World Space Commission complete with it's own chairman and lead commissioner. Its headquarters is located in London, England.

Home Star System

**Home Star System** is a trinary planetary star system located in the Milky Way Galaxy, it is a separate connection within the Galactic Wormhole Network, and is the current home to the Crosan people. Coincidentally, it is located 1.5 light-years from the Solar System.

The official star catalogue names the star system: Ultima Sagittarii.

## System overview

***Home Star System*** is the un-official name of the planetary system featured in the television series Redshift.

It is a system of three stars, a G-type yellow dwarf, a K-type orange dwarf and a M-type red dwarf, the G and K stars are an opposing binary pair while the red dwarf is an outlier located on the edge of the system orbiting the G and K stars.

Altogether the trinary system boasts many planets, numerous moons and small planetoids.

Liberty Station

**Liberty Station** is a space station located in the Earth-Moon system sponsored by the United States government and operated by the United States armed forces.

Located in orbit around Earth, **Space Station Goddard** is used by the U.S. military as a staging area for their space forces.

The result of 25 years of multinational funding, the station has 14 individual and diverse habitats, and 16 research facilities. Layover accommodations for non-residents are not very glamorous, but provide the minimum needed for travelers to rest and refresh themselves.
Anomalistics

**Anomalistics** is the use of scientific methods to evaluate anomalies (phenomena that fall outside current understanding), with the aim of finding a rational explanation. The term itself was coined in 1973 by Drew University anthropologist Roger W. Wescott, who defined it as being the "serious and systematic study of all phenomena that fail to fit the picture of reality provided for us by common sense or by the established sciences."

Wescott credited journalist and researcher Charles Fort as being the creator of anomalistics as a field of research, and he named biologist Ivan T. Sanderson and Sourcebook Project compiler William R. Corliss as being instrumental in expanding anomalistics to introduce a more conventional perspective into the field.

Henry Bauer, emeritus professor of science studies at Virginia Tech, writes that anomalistics is "a politically correct term for the study of bizarre claims", while David J. Hess of the Department of Science and Technology Studies at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute describes it as being "the scientific study of anomalies defined as claims of phenomena not generally accepted by the bulk of the scientific community."

Anomalistics covers several sub-disciplines, including ufology, cryptozoology, and parapsychology. Researchers involved in the field have included ufologist J. Allen Hynek and cryptozoologist Bernard Heuvelmans, and parapsychologist John Hayes.

Space Station Alpha

**Space Station Alpha** is a U.S. Space Command military space station located in between the orbits of the Earth and the Moon.

## Basis

The Space Station is based on the Spacedock from Star Trek TOS films, the Fortress from Enemy Mine, and Cooper Station from Interstellar. The station is an O'Neill cylinder space habitat and later houses remnants of the human race as well as the newly reconstituted U.S. Space Command Academy. The Docking Bays hold an assortment of shuttles, skiffs, transports, and superlum ships.
Project Juno

**Project Juno** was a privately funded and operated crewed mission to the planet Saturn. The mission was operated by Vega Aerospace out of Vega's Mission Control Center in California. The flight launched in 2010 and took five years to complete, round-trip. The spacecraft flew past Jupiter in 2011 and arrived at Saturn in 2012. The crew remained in the Saturnine system for four months exploring the different moons as well as setting foot on the surface of the planet's largest moon, Titan. There was even an uncrewed glider flown through the upper atmosphere of Saturn prior to the departure from the system. The spacecraft returned to Earth in 2015.
Los Angeles

**Los Angeles** (US: /lɔːs ˈændʒələs/ ⓘ *lawss AN-jəl-əs*; Spanish: *Los Ángeles* [los ˈaŋxeles], lit. 'The Angels'), often referred to by its initials **L.A.**, officially the **City of Los Angeles**, is the most populous city in the U.S. state of California. With roughly 3.9 million residents within the city limits as of 2020, Los Angeles is the second-most populous city in the United States, behind only New York City; it is the commercial, financial and cultural center of the Southern California region. Los Angeles has a Mediterranean climate, an ethnically and culturally diverse population, in addition to a sprawling metropolitan area.

The majority of the city proper lies in a basin in Southern California adjacent to the Pacific Ocean in the west and extending partly through the Santa Monica Mountains and north into the San Fernando Valley, with the city bordering the San Gabriel Valley to its east. It covers about 469 square miles (1,210 km2), and is the county seat of Los Angeles County, which is the most populous county in the United States with an estimated 9.86 million residents as of 2022. It is the third-most visited city in the U.S. with over 4.6 million visitors as of 2019.

The area that became Los Angeles was originally inhabited by the indigenous Tongva people and later claimed by Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo for Spain in 1542. The city was founded on September 4, 1781, under Spanish governor Felipe de Neve, on the village of Yaanga. It became a part of Mexico in 1821 following the Mexican War of Independence. In 1848, at the end of the Mexican–American War, Los Angeles and the rest of California were purchased as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and became part of the United States. Los Angeles was incorporated as a municipality on April 4, 1850, five months before California achieved statehood. The discovery of oil in the 1890s brought rapid growth to the city. The city was further expanded with the completion of the Los Angeles Aqueduct in 1913, which delivers water from Eastern California.

Los Angeles has a diverse economy with a broad range of industries, best known as the home of the Hollywood film industry, the world's largest by revenue; the city was an important site in the history of film. It also has one of the busiest container ports in the Americas. In 2018, the Los Angeles metropolitan area had a gross metropolitan product of over $1.0 trillion, making it the city with the third-largest GDP in the world. Los Angeles hosted the Summer Olympics in 1932 and 1984, and will also host in 2028. More recently, statewide droughts in California have strained both the city's and Los Angeles County's water security.
Impossible Earth theory

The **Impossible Earth theory** supposes that the Earth and humans represent an astronomically small chance that intelligent life would emerge on a world in the universe. The theory supports a notion that the universe is fine-tuned twice: once to support matter and twice to support life. Some have suggested that the universe is fine-tuned three times to support the emergence of human-life or human-like lifeforms throughout the universe. The theory is an evolution of the Rare Earth hypothesis.
United States Mars Program

The **United States Mars Program** is an organization of the United States government which has a presence on the planet Mars. Founded in 2005, inspired by the United States Antarctic and Lunar programs, the USMP manages all US scientific research and related logistics on Mars as well as spacecraft in near-Mars orbit.
2021 American Constitutional Crisis

On January 6, 2021, following the defeat of US President Luke Nichols in the 2020 presidential election, a series of dirty bombs were released in a dozen US cities which resulted in a period of chaos and civil unrest that lasted roughly one week. A dirty bomb was detonated in Washington, DC during a joint session of Congress which would have removed Luke Nichols from power for abuses of office. At first, it was thought that both the US President and Vice President had been killed in the ensuing calamity. But this information was later determined to be exaggerated, the Vice President had been killed while the US President was incapacitated. With a majority of the US federal legislative branch killed or missing, a special session of governors was convened to appoint a new temporary Congress. The sitting Secretary of Defense was spared from the chaos as they were inspecting facilities at a military base in Colorado and as soon as they were able, they resigned their cabinet seat and began serving as President. Once the President was fully capable of executing his duties as president, the US Secretary of Defense refused to cede power back to Nichols causing conflicting information between the US armed forces and intelligence agencies. This tug-of-war ultimately concluded at noon, January 20th, 2021, when both the former US president and former Secretary of Defense time in office expired. The newly appointed Congress selected Chairman of the Joint Chiefs to serve as a caretaker President until a special election could be setup to elect new leaders. The Chairman stated he would only serve in the capacity for a six month period in order for the newly appointed Speaker of the House to set an agenda and then assume the duties of the presidency shortly thereafter. During this period, Luke Nichols was arrested, tried, and charged, he was given a twenty-year sentence in a medium-security prison in Colorado. He became the first former President to be charged as a criminal. The House Speaker, Hank Harm of Tennessee, resigned his position and transitioned to caretaker President until January 20th, 2023. During the 2022 Special Election, the American public elected several new members of congress and a new President. This time, former Vice President under John Hansen, John Boyer. He was inaugurated on January 20th, 2023.
First Contact Day

**First Contact Day** is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the first contact between the humans of Earth and the humans of the planet Crose, which occurred on September 26, 2026, establishing the first open contact between both civilizations. It was revealed shortly after the commemoration of the day that Crose had first catalogued and visited Earth some time in the late 1940s.
Teleportation

**Teleportation** is the transfer of matter or energy from one point to another without traversing the physical space between them. Teleportation is often paired with time travel and superluminal travel, being that the travelling between the two points takes an unknown period of time, sometimes being immediate within the same space-time construct. In the 1990s, a breakthrough was made in the development of teleportation which eventually lead to the developments of superluminal travel and time travel. Both remain prohibitively expensive for private individuals but well within the scope of wealthy nation-states and major multi-national corporations.
Galactic Wormhole Network

The **Galactic Wormhole Network** is a portal network that is linked to many locations throughout the Milky Way Galaxy and some points around the Galactic Halo. The network is a transit system of wormholes that allow near-instantaneous travel to different star systems and supersedes the use of superluminal transportation. Its origins remain largely unknown but some cursory evidence suggests that the Earth Terminal and the Grand Central Terminal are two points within a larger universe-spanning transit network.

The **Wormhole Network** is an interstellar transportation system which allows for near-instantaneous travel throughout the Milky Way galaxy. It is the only method of faster-than-light travel currently known to humanity. It is believed that it was developed by an ancient race of transhuman beings known as the Seraphs.
US Marine Raiders

The **Marine Raiders** were a special operations forces originally established by the United States Marine Corps during World War II to conduct amphibious light infantry warfare. "Edson's" Raiders of 1st Marine Raider Battalion and "Carlson's" Raiders of 2nd Marine Raider Battalion are said to have been the first United States special operations forces to form and see combat during World War II.[*citation needed*]

Despite the original intent for Raiders to serve in a special operations capacity, most combat operations saw the Raiders employed as conventional infantry. This, combined with the resentment within the rest of the Marine Corps that the Raiders were an "elite force within an elite force", led to the original Raider units being disbanded.

Four Raider battalions served operationally but all were disbanded on 8 January 1944, when the Marine Corps made the doctrinal decision that the Raiders had outlived their original mission. The changing nature of the war in the Pacific, with many large-scale amphibious assaults to come against well-defended islands, negated the requirements for small light units that could strike deep into enemy territory.

On 1 February 1944, the 1st Raider Regiment was redesignated the 4th Marine Regiment, thus assuming the lineage of the regiment that had garrisoned Shanghai in the interwar years and fought gallantly on Bataan and Corregidor. The 1st, 3rd, and 4th Raider Battalions became respectively the 1st, 3rd, and 2nd Battalions of the 4th Marines. The 2nd Raider Battalion filled out the regimental weapons company. Personnel in the Raider Training Center transferred to the newly formed 5th Marine Division. Leavened with new men, the 4th Marines went on to earn additional distinctions in the assaults on Guam and Okinawa. At the close of the war, the regiment joined the occupation forces in Japan and participated in the release from POW compounds of the remaining members of the old 4th Marines.

In 2014, the Marine Special Operations Regiment, serving under the United States Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC), was renamed the Marine Raider Regiment. This change was implemented as homage to the World War II Raiders. Marine special operators of the Marine Raider Regiment are once again called "Marine Raiders".
Department of Scientific Research & Development

**The United States Department of Scientific Research & Development or SRD** was founded on July 21, 2019 after U.S. President Patrick Norton signed into law his *World Space Exploration Initiative*. The Department began full operations in the fall of 2019. The goal of the Department was to consolidate America's vast scientific and technological endeavors and create a central apparatus to further scientific progress.

## Organization

* Office of the Secretary of Scientific Research and Development
* Office of Space-Related Activities
	+ National Space Exploration Administration (NSEA)- The NSEA was formed out of its predecessor, NASA which retargeted America's space efforts with a two-pronged approach: crewed missions and uncrewed missions.
		- Lunar Space Research Organization (LSRO)- The LSRO was established as an extension of the NSEA on the lunar surface in the early 2020s.
* Office of Oceanic Activities
	+ Oceanic Science and Exploration Agency (OSEA)- The OSEA was established due to preceived lack of attention given to the world's oceans as much of the world's focus was on space exploration. It became the first comprehensive national apparatus to research the Earth's oceans.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is a an agency of the United States Department of Defense responsible for the development of new technology for use by the military. Its original name was **Advanced Research Projects Agency** (**ARPA**), it was renamed to "DARPA" (for Defense) in March 1972.

In 2002, following the Labor Day Attacks, the National Security Act of 2003 was signed effectively consolidating America's intelligence apparatus.

European Federation

The **European Federation**, also referred to as the **United States of Europe** (**USE**), **European State**, or **Federal Europe**, is the hypothetical scenario of European integration leading to the formation of a sovereign superstate (similar to the United States of America), organised as a federation of the member countries of the European Union (EU), as contemplated by political scientists, politicians, geographers, historians, futurologists and fiction writers. At present, while the EU is not a federation, various academic observers regard it as having some of the characteristics of a federal system.

The **European Federation** is one of the superpowers on Earth and is one of the three factions in EndWar.

The European Federation is a new superpower, founded in 2018 to consolidate political and economic power in the face of the world energy crisis and accelerating security and environmental concerns around the globe. Though it was publicized as an evolution of the European Union, demanding admission criteria disenfranchised all but the wealthiest nations of Europe. The UK and Ireland declined membership (instead joining the New Commonwealth), as did Switzerland (fiercely neutral as always).
Back to the Future (1985 film)

**Back to the Future** is a 1985 American science fiction film directed by Robert Zemeckis and written by Zemeckis and Bob Gale. It stars Eric Stoltz, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Crispin Glover, and Thomas F. Wilson. Set in 1985, it follows Marty McFly (Stoltz), a teenager accidentally sent back to 1955 in a time-traveling DeLorean automobile built by his eccentric scientist friend Emmett "Doc" Brown (Lloyd), where he inadvertently prevents his future parents from falling in love - threatening his own existence - and is forced to reconcile them and somehow get back to the future.
SpaceCon

**Space Consortium (SpaceCon)** was an American aerospace manufacturer and space transportation services company headquartered in Palmdale, California. It was founded in 1949 by William Winslow with the goal of being the first private individual to send humans to the Moon and beyond. SpaceCon manufactured a majority of the materials and spacecraft for early U.S. Air Force space efforts and later, U.S. Space Command spacecraft. As well as, NASA/JPL satellites, civilian habitats, launch vehicles, and rocket engines. In 1959, SpaceCon became the first private company to send humans to orbit beating both the USSR and the USA by nearly two full years. Through a series of mergers and sales, SpaceCon became part of Yoyodyne Propulsion, which later became a subsidiary component of Vega Aerospace.
United States Lunar Program

The **United States Lunar Program** (or **USLP**; formerly known as the **United States Lunar Research Program** or **USLRP** and the **United States Lunar Service** or **USLS**) is an organization of the United States government which has a presence on the Moon. Founded in 1975, inspired by the United States Antarctic Program, the USLP manages all U.S. scientific research and related logistics on the Moon as well as aboard spacecraft in near-Lunar orbit.
Jupiter

**Jupiter** is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System. It is a gas giant with a mass more than two and a half times that of all the other planets in the Solar System combined, and slightly less than one one-thousandth the mass of the Sun. It is orbiting the Sun at a distance of 5.20 AU (778.5 Gm) with an orbital period of 11.86 years. Jupiter is the third brightest natural object in the Earth's night sky after the Moon and Venus, and it has been observed since prehistoric times. It was named after Jupiter, the chief deity of ancient Roman religion.

This was the first planet to form, and the inward migration of Jupiter during the primordial Solar System impacted much of the formation history of the other planets. Jupiter is primarily composed of hydrogen (90% by volume), followed by helium, which constitutes a quarter of its mass and a tenth of its volume. The ongoing contraction of Jupiter's interior generates more heat than the planet receives from the Sun. Its internal structure is believed to comprise an outer mantle of liquid metallic hydrogen, and a diffuse inner core of denser material. Because of its rapid rotation rate of 1 rotation per 10 hours, the planet's shape is an oblate spheroid: it has a slight but noticeable bulge around the equator. The outer atmosphere is divided into a series of latitudinal bands, with turbulence and storms along their interacting boundaries. The most obvious result of this is the Great Red Spot, a giant storm which has been observed since 1831 and possibly earlier.

Jupiter is surrounded by a faint planetary ring system and has a powerful magnetosphere, the largest contiguous structure in the Solar System after the heliosphere. Jupiter forms a system of 95 known moons and probably many more, including the four large moons discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Ganymede, the largest of the four, is larger than the planet Mercury. Callisto is the second largest; Io and Europa are approximately the size of Earth's Moon.

Since 1973, Jupiter has been visited by nine robotic probes: seven flybys and two dedicated orbiters, with two more either en route or awaiting launch.

The planet **Jupiter** is the fifth planet and the largest gas giant of the solar system, the planet itself is extremely hazardous to biological life, however many of the moons that lay beyond the planet's radiation field currently maintain a permanent human presence.

## History of manned human exploration

By the 2040s, the technology was available to launch a small spacecraft into the Jovian system, a small outpost was built on the moon of Callisto, due to its low radiation susceptiability.

In the year 2077, a private corporation launched the spacecraft *Wernher von Braun* into Jovian space. The farthest longest mission ever conducted by humans, a five-year round-trip time.

Palm Springs, California

**Palm Springs** (Cahuilla: *Séc-he*) is a desert resort city in Riverside County, California, United States, within the Colorado Desert's Coachella Valley. The city covers approximately 94 square miles (240 km2), making it the largest city in Riverside County by land area. With multiple plots in checkerboard pattern, more than 10% of the city is part of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians reservation land and is the administrative capital of the most populated reservation in California.

The population of Palm Springs was 44,575 as of the 2020 census, but because Palm Springs is a retirement location and a winter snowbird destination, the city's population triples between November and March.

The city is noted for its mid-century modern architecture, design elements, arts and cultural scene, and recreational activities.
Uranus

**Uranus** is the seventh planet from the Sun and is a gaseous cyan ice giant. Most of the planet is made out of water, ammonia, and methane in a supercritical phase of matter, which in astronomy is called 'ice' or volatiles. The planet's atmosphere has a complex layered cloud structure and has the lowest minimum temperature of 49 K (−224 °C; −371 °F) out of all Solar System's planets. It has a marked axial tilt of 97.8° with a retrograde rotation rate of 17 hours. This means that in an 84 Earth years orbital period around the Sun, its poles get around 42 years of continuous sunlight, followed by 42 years of continuous darkness.

Uranus has the third-largest diameter and fourth-largest mass among the Solar System's planets. Based on current models, inside its volatile mantle layer is a rocky core, and surrounding it is a thick hydrogen and helium atmosphere. Trace amount of hydrocarbons (thought to be produced via hydrolysis) and carbon monoxide along with carbon dioxide (thought to have been originated from comets) have been detected in the upper atmosphere. There are many unexplained climate phenomena in Uranus's atmosphere, such as its peak wind speed of 900 km/h (560 mph), variations in its polar cap and its erratic cloud formation. The planet also has a very low internal heat compared to other giant planets, which is still unexplained.

Like the other giant planets, Uranus has a ring system, orbiting natural satellites and a magnetosphere. Its ring system is extremely dark, with only about 2% of the incoming light reflected, and contains the known 13 inner moons. Further out are the larger five major moons of the planet: Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon; and orbiting at much greater distance from Uranus are the known nine irregular moons. The planet's magnetosphere is highly asymmetric and has many charged particles, which may cause the darkening of its rings and moons.

Uranus is visible to the naked eye, but it is very dim and was not classified as a planet until 1781, when it was first observed by William Herschel. About seven decades after its discovery, consensus was reached that the planet be named from the Greek god Uranus (Ouranos), one of the Greek primordial deities. As of 2023, it was visited up close only one time when in 1986 the *Voyager 2* probe flew by the planet. Though nowadays it can be resolved and observed by telescopes, there is much desire to revisit the planet, as shown by Planetary Science Decadal Survey's decision to make the proposed Uranus Orbiter and Probe mission a top priority in the 2023–2032 survey.

Planetary scientist John Lewis in his 1997 book *Mining the Sky*, insists that Uranus is the likeliest place to mine helium-3 because of its significantly shallower gravity well, which makes it easier for a laden tanker spacecraft to thrust itself out. Furthermore, Uranus is an Ice giant, which would likely make it easier to separate the helium out of the atmosphere.
