Generations

* **The Explorer generation: (2618-2632):** This generation was born after the discovery of the frontier. Although they born in economic stagnation for the most of them, especially the Lunars, Terrans and Venusians, the came of age during the peak of the colonization of the frontier, which meant that the economy was good for them. Many of the Terrans from that generation participated in the exploration and colonization of the frontier. As for the Gasans, and Martians, this generation was believed to have lived during the waning days of the so called "Golden Age of Democracy" between the Venusian and Martian Revolution. The idealism of democracy was starting to die out in the Gas Giants. However, this generation carried the dream of independence for the Lunars and Martians. This is the generation that brought about the Martian Revolution. The Gasans, Lunars and Martians of that generation fought in it. As for the Lunars, this generation endured the bombing of Argerive. The Lunars of who were abroad fighting in the war were resented by the survivors of Argerive.
* **The survivors' generation (2632-2654):** This generation was born into the time in history where the colonization of the frontier was at it's greatest momentum. Those who lived on Venusia or Earth enjoyed a good economical setting. For the Lunars, Gasans and Martians, the oldest of them fought in the Martian Revolution. The Lunars born in that generation endured the bombing of Argerive. The younger ones from the Gas Giants and Mars did face the horrors of war. The Gasans who were too young to fight in the war saw the fall of democracy happen as they reached teenagehood or adulthood. By that time, democracy was becoming unpopular in the Giants, so this did not bother them.
* **The shift generation (2655-2671):** The generation born after the Martian war of independence. They were brought into this world in a time of great change and uncertainty, marked by great shifts in the power structure within the system, like the collapse of Lunar society, the dismantlement of the Interplanetary Federation, the shift of Gasan authority from Saturn to Jupiter and the founding of the Martian republic. The shift generation became adults in a time of stability and prosperity. They were born too late to fight in the war of independence and too early to fight in the War Against the Red Light. By the time of that war, some of them had started to retire, and if not, were part of the establishment. If they ever did fight in the war, they were up in the chain of command. As for the Lunars, this generation was the one that fought much of the Empires colonial wars. They were born and raised in the worse era of Lunar history. Notable members: Natalia Martins, Domo Arsian, Iyderan Thirdleg.
* **The antebellum generation (2672-2683):** Born in a peaceful and stable time, at least for the Gasans and Martians. Their upbringing was uneventful, and enjoyed the same prosperous economy as the earlier generation, for the most part. The antebellum generation become adults and joined the workforce before the major political and economic unrest that shook the system. They might have fought in the War Against the Red Light and the rebellion against the Lunaregnum empire. The Lunars of that generation had it much, much easier than the previous two generations. They were raised in a time of great prosperity for the Lunaregnum Empire. This generation was mostly spared the colonial wars, save for the war against the Gempi. Although the older ones might have fought against the Gempi and the Trenth and the younger ones might have fought in Lunaregnum's final involvement in the War Against the Red Light. However, by then, Lunaregnum's military relied mostly on robotic infantry, so Lunars of that generation hardly faced war. Notable members: Adam Lance, Marianne Mellena, Frederick, Samyll, Caroline Thirdleg, Jordan.
* **Iyderan's generation (2684-2697):** Born in a peacefull time, known for having reached adulthood or teenagehood roughly at the same time as Iyderan's rise to power. Their teenage-hood and early adulthood was marked by the swallowing of the Armstrong and Explorer system, the growing authoritarianism in the Gas Giants, the growing political tension between Mars and the Gas Giants, and the economic recession that it caused. This generation was involved in social movements like the nationalistic movement on Mars and the Cold movement on the Gas Giants. They are the generation that fought the War against the Red Light and the rebellion against the Lunaregnum Empire. The Diaporic Lunars of that generation were known for their skimpy clothes. Notable members: Florence, Alex, Beryl, Hellen, Radley, Ally, Niall, Chloe, Max, Emily, Octavia
* **The broken generation (2698-2716):** Generation whose childhood and teenagehood was marked by the War Against the Red Light, the period of Lunar occupation for non Gasans, the simultaneous horrible economic downfall and famine in the Gas Giants, and the rebellion against the Lunaregnum empire. The younger members of that generation also fought the war against the Central empire. Although they became adults after the collapse of the Lunaregnum empire, during a time of peace and prosperity, their horrible childhoods made them cynical and depressed. Notable members: the Children of Neptune, Olivia
* **New world generation (2717-2730):** Born in a peaceful prosperous time after the collapse of the Lunaregnum empire. This generation is an optimistic and carefree one. They have seen the best the universe had to offer, and were greatly indulged in the cultures and way of lives of the many cultures that had been under Lunar dominion. They were hence less ethno-centered and traditional as the previous generations and embraced the cultures and viewpoints of the alien species which they had contacted. Notable member: Octavian, Sylvia
