Benevolent and Protective Order of Caribou

**Freemasonry** or **Masonry** refers to fraternal organisations that trace their origins to the local guilds of stonemasons that, from the end of the 13th century, regulated the qualifications of stonemasons and their interaction with authorities and clients. Modern Freemasonry broadly consists of two main recognition groups: Regular Freemasonry, which insists that a volume of scripture be open in a working lodge, that every member professes belief in a Supreme Being, that no women be admitted, and that the discussion of religion and politics do not take place within the lodge; and Continental Freemasonry, which consists of the jurisdictions that have removed some, or all, of these restrictions.

The basic, local organisational unit of Freemasonry is the Lodge. These private Lodges are usually supervised at the regional level (usually coterminous with a state, province, or national border) by a Grand Lodge or Grand Orient. There is no international, worldwide Grand Lodge that supervises all of Freemasonry; each Grand Lodge is independent, and they do not necessarily recognise each other as being legitimate.

The degrees of Freemasonry retain the three grades of medieval craft guilds, those of Entered Apprentice, Journeyman or fellow (now called Fellowcraft), and Master Mason. The candidate of these three degrees is progressively taught the meanings of the symbols of Freemasonry and entrusted with grips, signs, and words to signify to other members that he has been so initiated. The degrees are part allegorical morality play and part lecture. These three degrees form Craft (or Blue Lodge) Freemasonry, and members of any of these degrees are known as **Freemasons** or **Masons**. Once the Craft degrees have been conferred upon a Mason, he is qualified to join various “Concordant bodies” which offer additional degrees. These organisations are usually administered separately from the Grand Lodges who administer the Craft degrees. The extra degrees vary with locality and jurisdiction.

USMC Space Expeditionary Division

**United States Marine Corps Space Expeditionary Division** is an elite spaceborne light infantry combat formation within the United States Department of the Army. Due to the unexplored, lawless and borderless nature of the current settled Solar System, Rangers are often tasked with essentially being "part-explorer, part-law enforcement, and part-soldier." The Rangers follow in the long tradition of other U.S. Army Ranger battalions dating back to the 17th century, as well as, to three of the six battalions raised in World War II, and carry the official designation of "Ranger." They are the only Ranger unit that includes space training as part of their regimen and often trains alongside members of the United States Marine Corps Space Expeditionary Division in advanced space combat exercises.

Every member of the U.S. Space Command Ranger Corps attends basic training as enlisted personnel and officers will attend Basic Training and Officer Candidate School in Fort Benning, Georgia. Those that are assigned to become Rangers attend U.S. Army Ranger School at Fort Benning, Georgia while those designated for spaceflight operations will attend the U.S. Space Command Academy in Palmdale, California to begin advanced space training and education in space combat.

The U.S. Space Command Ranger Corps was established in 2000 shortly after the formation of the U.S. Space Command as a separate branch of the U.S. armed forces but still within the scope of the United States Army.

The United States Army Special Operations Command is commanded by a lieutenant general, while the U.S. Space Command is commanded by a single four-star general designated the Commandant of the Space Command, and the U.S. Space Command Ranger Corps is commanded by a single brigadier general. U.S. Space Command fleet operations are often managed by a single major general.
Treaty of Versailles

The **Treaty of Versailles** was a peace treaty signed on 28 June 1919. As the most important treaty of World War I, it ended the state of war between Germany and most of the Allied Powers. It was signed in the Palace of Versailles, exactly five years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, which led to the war. The other Central Powers on the German side signed separate treaties. The United States never ratified the Versailles treaty and made a separate peace treaty with Germany. Although the armistice of 11 November 1918 ended the actual fighting, it took six months of Allied negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference to conclude the peace treaty. Germany was not allowed to participate in the negotiations; it was forced to sign the final treaty.

The most critical and controversial provision in the treaty was: "The Allied and Associated Governments affirm and Germany accepts the responsibility of Germany and her allies for causing all the loss and damage to which the Allied and Associated Governments and their nationals have been subjected as a consequence of the war imposed upon them by the aggression of Germany and her allies." The other members of the Central Powers signed treaties containing similar articles. This article, Article 231, became known as the War Guilt clause. The treaty required Germany to disarm, make ample territorial concessions, and pay reparations to certain countries that had formed the Entente powers. In 1921 the total cost of these reparations was assessed at 132 billion gold marks (then $31.4 billion or £6.6 billion, roughly equivalent to US$442 billion or UK£284 billion in 2023).

Prominent economists such as John Maynard Keynes declared the treaty too harsh, styling it as a "Carthaginian peace", and saying the reparations were excessive and counterproductive. On the other hand, prominent Allied figures such as French Marshal Ferdinand Foch criticized the treaty for treating Germany too leniently. This is still the subject of ongoing debate by historians and economists.

The result of these competing and sometimes conflicting goals among the victors was a compromise that left no one satisfied. In particular, Germany was neither pacified nor conciliated, nor was it permanently weakened. The problems that arose from the treaty would lead to the Locarno Treaties, which improved relations between Germany and the other European powers. The reparation system was reorganized resulting in the Dawes Plan, the Young Plan, and the indefinite postponement of reparations at the Lausanne Conference of 1932. The treaty's terms against Germany resulted in economic collapse and bitter resentment which powered the rise of the Nazi Party, and eventually the outbreak of a second World War.

Although it is often referred to as the "Versailles Conference", only the actual signing of the treaty took place at the historic palace. Most of the negotiations were in Paris, with the "Big Four" meetings taking place generally at the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the Quai d'Orsay.

Arcadia

The following is a list of exoplanets near Earth which have been claimed by different factions of the human race that originated from Earth.

Arcadia- **Arcadia** (Greek: Αρκαδία) refers to a vision of pastoralism and harmony with nature. Arcadia was one of the initial first three colonies of humanity beyond the Solar System.

**Vesta** is a planet in the Epsilon Eridani system.

## Background

Vesta is a ringed planet in the Epsilon Eridani system. Its rotation is such that a Vesta day is 30.5 hours long. The planet has one Satellite moon, which is a misshapen oval. It has an elliptical orbit around the planet.

## Vesta Colony

This planet was selected as the first Human colony world and an expedition to colonize the planet was launched in 2063. After successfully transiting a wormhole to reach the planet, the colony ship landed and the colonization effort began. The colony was attacked and destroyed by Chig fighters and ground troops.

The **Vesta Colony** was Earth's first attempt to colonize a planet.

## Background

The Vesta Mission was to colonize Vesta, a planet in the Epsilon Eridani system. Funded by AeroTech Industries, the mission launched from the Frances R. Scobee Colonial Launch Center, Corpus Christi, Texas in 2063.

250 humans from Earth established a settlement located in a clearing of a lush tropical rain forest. The colony ship was converted into a storage warehouse and a group of pre-fab Quonset huts were arrayed around it, partially buried to provide stability and protection. The colony has sixteen rovers, one of which was non-functional and used for parts.

The **Tellus Colony** was Earth's second attempt to colonize a planet.

## Background

The Tellus Mission was to colonize Tellus, a planet in the Epsilon Indi system. Funded by AeroTech Industries, the mission launched from the Frances R. Scobee Colonial Launch Center, Corpus Christi, Texas in 2063. Just prior to mission launch the United States Senate issued a directive to the Tellus Board of Governors regarding affirmative action for In Vitroes. The directive removed ten colonists and replaced them with ten In Vitroes for political reasons.

**Tellus** is a planet in the Epsilon Indi system.

## Background

Tellus is a green and blue planet with eight moons. The planet’s atmosphere creates a hazy golden halo around it when viewed from space.

## Tellus Colony

This planet was selected as the second Human colony world and an expedition to colonize the planet was launched in 2063. After successfully transiting a wormhole to reach the planet, the colony ship had just completed its orbital insertion when it was attacked and destroyed by Chig fighters.
Space Shuttle Orbiter

**Space Shuttle orbiters** are a type of spaceplane component for partially and fully reusable orbital spacecraft systems that have been apart of the discontinued U.S. Space Shuttle program, and still active, Soviet Buran orbiter program, and the Chinese orbiter program. There have been nineteen total first generation space shuttle orbiters since 1979.

American Iron Front

The **Iron Front** (German: *Eiserne Front*) was a German paramilitary organization in the Weimar Republic which consisted of social democrats, trade unionists, and democratic socialists. Its main goal was to defend democratic socialism and liberal democracy against what was viewed as totalitarian ideologies on the far-right and far-left. The Iron Front chiefly opposed the Sturmabteilung (SA) wing of the Nazi Party and the *Antifaschistische Aktion* wing of the Communist Party of Germany. Formally independent, it was intimately associated with the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). The Three Arrows, originally designed for the Iron Front, became a well-known social democratic symbol representing resistance against monarchism, Nazism, and Marxism-Leninism during the parliamentary elections in November 1932. The Three Arrows were later adopted by the SPD itself.
The Dice

**The Dice** is a pair of small, throwable objects with marked sides that can rest in multiple positions. They are used for generating random values, commonly as part of tabletop games, including dice games, board games, role-playing games, and games of chance. These are a pair of red dice that were found miraculously floating in deep space.
United States Antarctic Program

**Western Antarctica** was an Antarctic nation located on the planet Earth's south polar region established from the former territories of the Argentine Antarctic, the British Antarctic, the Chilean Antarctic, the Norwegian settlement on Peter I Island, and the Ross Dependency of New Zealand in 2054.

## History

A ban on the mining of coal, hydrocarbons, iron ore, platinum, copper, chromium, nickel, gold and other minerals was in effect from 1998 to 2048, however, due to increased climate change, a referendum was held and the ban was repealed. However, a ban on fishing was initiated to prevent contamination of the local ecosystems, many relocated animal life had been taken to many zoos and aquariums, some in Hope City and Port Williams. Tourism was the number one industry in the country. Research bases are plentiful and some have even opened their doors to tourists as museums.

In 2051, the signing and ratification of the Port Williams Bill of Rights and Duties of the Antarctic Territory, led to the colonization of the Antarctic continent.

Russian Refugee Convoy

The **Soviet Refugee Convoy (SRC)** is a convoy of spacecraft sheltering the human survivors of the 2025 Phobos Incident which resulted in the cutting off of Earth from the rest of the human infrastructure throughout the Solar System as a result of a terrorist initiated Kessler syndrome. The SRC is one of seven refugee fleets that are making their way toward previously considered potentially habitable worlds in other star systems.
The Body

**The Body** is a series of monolithic structures resembling parts of the human anatomy that were discovered at the edge of the Solar System. There are five known objects: The Head, The Left Hand, The Right Hand, The Left Foot, and the Right Foot, seemingly representing aspects of a human-like figure missing its torso and most of its limbs. The objects are carved features etched into small irregular asteroids. The creators of the objects are currently unknown and their purpose is still subject to speculation. Their discovery drew comparisons to the Maoi figures of Easter Island on Earth, as well as, the sculptures of former US presidents on Mount Rushmore.
New Hampshire Militia

The **New Hampshire Militia** was first organized in 1631 and lasted until 1641, when the area came under the jurisdiction of Massachusetts. After New Hampshire became an separate colony again in 1679, New Hampshire Colonial Governor John Cutt reorganized the militia on March 16, 1680, with one foot company apiece for the four major settlements in Portsmouth, Dover, Exeter and Hampton, and an artillery and cavalry company in Portsmouth. The King of England authorized the Provincial Governor to give commissions to persons who shall be best qualified for regulating and discipline of the militia. President Cutt placed Major Richard Waldron of Dover in command of the Militia. In 1879, the Militia was designated by the state as the **New Hampshire National Guard**.

This group is an amalgam of the Proud Boys, Three Percenters, and QAnon.
Apocrypha

**The Great Interdimensional War** is a clandestine military conflict that took place in the mid-late 2000s and concluded in the year 2012. The conflict was fought by the United States government and its allies on one side and the Saurians on the other. The war ended with a peace armistice between both powers.
ANRV Guardian

Enceladus

**Enceladus** is the sixth-largest moon of Saturn (19th largest in the Solar System). It is about 500 kilometers (310 miles) in diameter, about a tenth of that of Saturn's largest moon, Titan. Enceladus is mostly covered by fresh, clean ice, making it one of the most reflective bodies of the Solar System. Consequently, its surface temperature at noon only reaches −198 °C (75.1 K; −324.4 °F), far colder than a light-absorbing body would be. Despite its small size, Enceladus has a wide range of surface features, ranging from old, heavily cratered regions to young, tectonically deformed terrain.

Enceladus was discovered on August 28, 1789, by William Herschel, but little was known about it until the two Voyager spacecraft, *Voyager 1* and *Voyager 2*, flew by Saturn in 1980 and 1981. In 2005, the spacecraft *Cassini* started multiple close flybys of Enceladus, revealing its surface and environment in greater detail. In particular, *Cassini* discovered water-rich plumes venting from the south polar region. Cryovolcanoes near the south pole shoot geyser-like jets of water vapor, molecular hydrogen, other volatiles, and solid material, including sodium chloride crystals and ice particles, into space, totaling about 200 kilograms (440 pounds) per second. More than 100 geysers have been identified. Some of the water vapor falls back as "snow"; the rest escapes and supplies most of the material making up Saturn's E ring. According to NASA scientists, the plumes are similar in composition to comets. In 2014, NASA reported that *Cassini* had found evidence for a large south polar subsurface ocean of liquid water with a thickness of around 10 km (6 mi). The existence of Enceladus' subsurface ocean has since been mathematically modelled and replicated.

These geyser observations, along with the finding of escaping internal heat and very few (if any) impact craters in the south polar region, show that Enceladus is currently geologically active. Like many other satellites in the extensive systems of the giant planets, Enceladus is trapped in an orbital resonance. Its resonance with Dione excites its orbital eccentricity, which is damped by tidal forces, tidally heating its interior and driving the geological activity.

*Cassini* performed chemical analysis of Enceladus's plumes, finding evidence for hydrothermal activity, possibly driving complex chemistry. Ongoing research on *Cassini* data suggests that Enceladus's hydrothermal environment could be habitable to some of Earth's hydrothermal vent's microorganisms, and that plume-found methane could be produced by such organisms.
United Kingdom Space Command

**United Kingdom Space Command** (**UKSC**) is a joint command of the British Armed Forces organised under the Royal Air Force, and staffed by personnel from the Royal Navy, British Army, Royal Air Force and the British Civil Service. The UKSC has three functions: space operations, space workforce generation, and space capability.

UK Space Command was established on 1 April 2021 under the command of Air Vice-Marshal Paul Godfrey. Godfrey is of equal rank to the commanders of the RAF's Groups. The new command has "responsibility for not just operations, but also generating, training and growing the force, and also owning the money and putting all the programmatic rigour into delivering new ... capabilities." UKSC headquarters is at RAF High Wycombe co-located with Air Command.

When fully operationally capable, UK Space Command will "provide command and control of all of Defence’s space capabilities, including [the] UK Space Operations Centre, Skynet (satellite) communications, RAF Fylingdales, and other enabling capabilities." The command was initially planned to grow to about 650 personnel.
Stellar Corps

The **Stellar Corps (STELCOR/SCOR/S-COR)** is the branch of the Solarian Governance Council responsible for maintaining the Solarian space program and conducts deep space exploration, defense, law enforcement, peacekeeping and research. It is a descendant successor entity to the US Space Command and NASA of previous eras. It is a uniformed paramilitary organization similar to the NOAA Commissioned Officer Corps.

It is an organization that was formed after the arrival of the Korolev in Home Star System in order to facilitate both interplanetary and interstellar activities while simultaneously handling law enforcement. It is an all volunteer service, a majority of its members are non-descended humans from 22nd century humans with a minority of descended humans as members.

Members of the Corps are briefed on the possibility of a first contact scenario, therefore personnel are official representatives of the Solarian Governance Council and frequently ferry ambassadors for possible diplomatic missions.

The logo of the S-COR is based on the Unisphere logo showcased at the 1964 New York World's Fair, the image evokes the early spaceflight attempts made by humanity in the mid-20th century. The organization's feel is very much like the US Coast Guard in its portrayal, a small but impactful unit of Solarian culture.
Star Doctrine

The **Star Doctrine** was the central guiding doctrine of the Church of the Eight-Pointed Star which set forth three founding principles: 1) the preservation and restoration of the Earth's environment, 2) the settlement of nearby inhabitable worlds, and 3) preserving, facilitating and spreading the miracle of life throughout the multiverse.
United Kingdom Space Programme

The **British space programme** is the British government's work to develop British space capabilities. The objectives of the current civil programme are to "win sustainable economic growth, secure new scientific knowledge and provide benefits to all citizens."

The first official British space programme began in 1952. In 1959, the first satellite programme was started, with the Ariel series of British satellites, built in the United States and the UK and launched using American rockets. The first British satellite, Ariel 1, was launched in 1962. The British space programme has always emphasized uncrewed space research and commercial initiatives. It has never been government policy to create a British astronaut corps. The British government did not provide funding for the International Space Station until 2011.

During the 1960s and 1970s, a number of efforts were made to develop a British satellite launch capability. A British rocket named Black Arrow did succeed in placing a single British satellite, Prospero, into orbit from a launch site in Australia in 1971. Prospero remains the only British satellite to be put into orbit using a British vehicle.

The British National Space Centre was established in 1985 to co-ordinate British government agencies and other interested bodies in the promotion of British participation in the international market for satellite launches, satellite construction and other space endeavours.

In 2010, many of the various separate sources of space-related funding were combined and allocated to the centre's replacement, the UK Space Agency. Among other projects, the agency is funding a single-stage-to-orbit spaceplane concept called Skylon.

The **British National Space Centre** (**BNSC**) was an agency of the Government of the United Kingdom, organised in 1985, that coordinated civil space activities for the United Kingdom. It was replaced on 1 April 2010 by the UK Space Agency.

The **United Kingdom Space Agency** (**UKSA**) is an executive agency of the Government of the United Kingdom, responsible for the United Kingdom's civil space programme. It was established on 1 April 2010 to replace the British National Space Centre (BNSC) and took over responsibility for government policy and key budgets for space exploration; it represents the United Kingdom in all negotiations on space matters. The Agency "[brings] together all UK civil space activities under one single management". It is based at the former BNSC headquarters in Swindon, Wiltshire.
Hank Harm

**Hank Harm** is an American statesman. He served as Senate Majority Leader during a majority of the 2010s before being dismissed by U.S. President Luke Nichols in 2018 upon his dissolving of Congress. He was picked as a temporary Speaker of the House of Representatives in the wake of the 2021 attack on Washington, D.C. by Nichols supporters. He oversaw the selection of a new temporary Congress that laid the groundwork for the restoration of the United States government. He received a rare unanimous confirmation under the conditions of the 25th amendment to become 47th president of the United States as a "caretaker" until a new election was held. He served in the role from July 20, 2021 to January 20, 2023.
Project Odyssey

**Project Odyssey** was a joint US government and Vega Aerospace project to recover, investigate, and analyze anomalous objects and material tied to the Firstlife or Crosans anywhere in the Solar System and outside of it. Beginning shortly after the 1998 Asteroid Crisis, mysterious objects and material had continually been discovered in or near the Solar System. Project Odyssey was commissioned in 2001 to investigate these anomalies.

In 2392, an unidentified celestial object briefly designated **2391 PL21.**

* 4The Final Reveal

## History

In July 2391, a blueshifted object moving at 10% of the speed of light toward the general direction of the solar system was detected by advanced telescopes located in the vacinity of the planet Neptune.
The object was thought to be a high-velocity interstellar comet but upon closer examination from a satellite launced from Triton. The object was largely metallic in makeup and capsular in shape.
A month later in late February 2392, the object passed within the orbit of Mars and clearly imaged to be, by some experts accounts. A vessel of alien origin. It's ultimate destination was redefined as being, the Earth.
Five days had passed and 2391 PL21 stalled in Low-Earth orbit.

## Naming

The starship is named after the Middle Eastern explorer *Ibn Battuta.*

## *The Final Reveal*

*It is revealed at the end of the sixth season, that the Ibn Battuta, long thought to have been an ancient alien starship is actually a human starship from several millenia in the future. The ship and its crew were catapulted into the past via a space-time anamoly, the ship was left adrift near the Solar System. The ship's crew had been dead for thousands of years as the biotech FTL engines finally healed and restarted an emergency jump to Earth. The ship was classified as being an Out-of-Place-Object and its origin point was discovered via a "recall" button. Hence the mission getting underway and the ship being launched and much of modern tech being derived from the ship. The ship is also discovered to be a* **planet killer** *weapon capable of destroying whole solar systems or even creating proto-planetary conditions. As the mission continued to the Library, tons of shattered planets were discovered and the remnants of long dead civilizations.*
Presidency of Luke Nichols

The **presidency of Luke Nichols** began at noon EST (17:00 UTC) on January 20, 2015, when Luke Nichols was inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States, and ended his first non-consecutive term on January 20, 2019. His victory during the 2014 presidential election against incumbent Republican Vice President John Boyer is seen as an unprecedented upset. His first term ended following his defeat in the 2018 presidential election by Republican Mike McCullough. He ran for a second non-consecutive term in 2022, and was inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States on January 20, 2023, and went on to win every subsequent election until his death by assassination in 2044.
Catalog of Not Fully Assessed Species

A **data deficient** (**DD**) species is one which has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as offering insufficient information for a proper assessment of conservation status to be made. This does not necessarily indicate that the species has not been extensively studied; but it does indicate that little or no information is available on the abundance and distribution of the species.

The IUCN recommends that care be taken to avoid classing species as "data deficient" when the absence of records may indicate dangerously low abundance: "If the range of a taxon is suspected to be relatively circumscribed, if a considerable period of time has elapsed since the last record of the taxon, threatened status may well be justified" (see also precautionary principle).

A **not evaluated** (NE) species is one which has been categorized under the IUCN Red List of threatened species as not yet having been assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

This conservation category is one of nine IUCN threat assessment categories for species to indicate their risk of global extinction. The categories range from 'extinct' (EX) at one end of the spectrum, to 'least concern' (LC) at the other. The categories 'data deficient' and 'not evaluated' (NE) are not on the spectrum, because they indicate species that have not been reviewed enough to assign to a category.

The category of 'not evaluated' does not indicate that a species is not at risk of extinction, but simply that the species has not yet been studied for any risk to be quantified and published. The IUCN advises that species categorised as 'not evaluated' "...should not be treated as if they were non-threatened. It may be appropriate ... to give them the same degree of attention as threatened taxa, at least until their status can be assessed."

By 2015, the IUCN had assessed and allocated conservation statuses to over 76,000 species worldwide. From these it had categorised some 24,000 species as globally threatened at one conservation level or another. However, despite estimates varying widely as to the number of species existing on Earth (ranging from 3 million up to 30 million), this means the IUCN's 'not evaluated' (NE) category is by far the largest of all nine extinction risk categories.
Stellar Crusade

**Stellar Crusade** is an American epic space opera media franchise created by Henry Walton, which began with the eponymous 1977 film and quickly became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon.

***Star Wars*** is an American epic space opera media franchise created by George Lucas, which began with the eponymous 1977 film and quickly became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon. The franchise has been expanded into various films and other media, including television series, video games, novels, comic books, theme park attractions, and themed areas, comprising an all-encompassing fictional universe. *Star Wars* is one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time.

The original 1977 film, retroactively subtitled *Episode IV: A New Hope*, was followed by the sequels *Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back* (1980) and *Episode VI: Return of the Jedi* (1983), forming the original *Star Wars* trilogy. Lucas later returned to the series to write and direct a prequel trilogy, consisting of *Episode I: The Phantom Menace* (1999), *Episode II: Attack of the Clones* (2002), and *Episode III: Revenge of the Sith* (2005). In 2012, Lucas sold his production company to Disney, relinquishing his ownership of the franchise. This led to a sequel trilogy, consisting of *Episode VII: The Force Awakens* (2015), *Episode VIII: The Last Jedi* (2017), and *Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker* (2019).

All nine films, collectively referred to as the "Skywalker Saga", were nominated for Academy Awards, with wins going to the first two releases. Together with the theatrical live action "anthology" films *Rogue One* (2016) and *Solo* (2018), the combined box office revenue of the films equated to over US$10 billion, making *Star Wars* the third-highest-grossing film franchise of all time.
Human

**Homo Sapiens** or Humans, are a race of beings originally from the planet Earth. Humanity has since fled its homeworld to inhabit the stars.

## History

### 22nd century

The Earth was destroyed by the war between the West and the East which reduced the population of humans to somewhere around 30 million, down from 9.5 billion.

Prior to the war, an eccentric billionnaire constructed four interstellar colony ships that were meant to serve as humanity's last chance of survival. Approximately 20,000 people per ship, roughly 80,000 total.

### 23rd century

After the destruction of the Earth, the spacefaring humans of Free Space, Luna and Mars banded together to render assistance to any survivors on Earth. When no survivors were found, a council was formed and the construction of the twelve interstellar colony ships was undertaken. Approximately 40,000 people per ship, roughly 480,000 total. Though many chose to remain in the Solar System, another group decided to construct a Cityship to take the rest of humanity to the stars.

### 25th century

The survivors of the destruction had retreated into subterranean refuges to wait out the wars. Perhaps 20 million people lived in dozens of underground cities by this point in time.

By this time, the Cityship had been completed carrying ten million of the rest of humanity on its way out of the Solar System.

### Hundreds of thousands of years in the future

* **SERAPH-DERIVED TECHNOLOGIES,** technology of those that came before is very difficult to acquire, but the breakthroughs in propulsion and anti-gravity through reverse-engineered tech have led to greater expansion of humanity throughout the stars.
* **GENECTIC THERAPY,** fully biological humans as of the present day, are 198 cm tall on average, muscular, highly athletic and almost entirely maintain a 21st century meditteranean physical look.
* **HUMAN LONGEVITY,** fully biological humans can live up to 150 years old and it is not unheard to have encountered humans who have lived for over 500 years via artificial bodies.
Superluminal travel

**Superluminal travel** is the term used to describe faster-than-light transportation through space. It was developed out of a breakthrough in teleportation experiments during the 1990s. This development ultimately resulted in the discovery of faster-than-light travel and time travel. Though both have proven in some cases to be prohibitively expensive to maintain over long periods of time.
TransOrbital

* **TransOrbital** is one of the largest conglomerates in space but chooses to remain largely neutral in the affairs of the ANR and IDC. TransOrbital is made up of Australian and some Asian and American interests, essentially any Pacific Rim nation actively participate with them. Much of their survival is dependent on resources acquired by ANR, making them an enemy of the IDC. But privately, TransOrbital shares the ideology of the IDC in that it supports humanity's exploration and colonization of interstellar space.
Bernhard Toth

**Bernhard Toth** (1920-1966) was a German astronaut, military officer, and pilot who, aboard the second successful crewed spaceflight, became the first human to journey into outer space. Though this achievement has been called into question with the claim that Nambezi mwanaanga Oyana Boro nearly reached the Kaman line six weeks prior in January 1961. Traveling on Menschliche Trägerrakete 1 or MT-1, Toth completed one orbit of Earth in March 1961. By achieving this major milestone for fascist Germany amid the Space Race, he became an international celebrity and was awarded many medals and titles, including the nation's highest distinction.
Frank O. Lowden

**Frank Orren Lowden** (January 26, 1861 – March 20, 1943) was an American Republican Party politician who served as the 25th Governor of Illinois and as a United States Representative from Illinois. He was also a candidate for the Republican presidential nominations in 1920 and 1928.

In this alternate timeline, Frank O. Lowden served as the 30th president of the United States from 1929 to 1933.

Born in Sunrise Township, Minnesota, Lowden practiced law in Chicago after graduating from the University of Iowa. He emerged as a local Republican leader and served in the House of Representatives from 1906 to 1911. He served as Governor of Illinois from 1917 to 1921, earning wide notice for his reorganization of state government and his handling of the Chicago race riot of 1919.

At the 1920 Republican National Convention, Lowden was the preferred candidate of many of the party's conservatives. His supporters coalesced behind Warren G. Harding as a compromise candidate, and Harding won both the nomination and the 1920 presidential election. Lowden was nominated for vice president at the 1924 Republican National Convention, but he declined the nomination. Lowden was a candidate for president at the 1928 Republican National Convention, but Herbert Hoover won the nomination on the first ballot.
The Cabal

**The Cabal** is a name given to a secret society that is purportedly responsible for controlling the world.

The **Equinox Group** was a secret society sometimes associated with what was once termed the elites, which included the top members of banking firms, corporations, governments and even the richest families on Earth. The Equinox Group is inspired by many notable secret societies that are discussed in conspiracy theorist circles from a combination of the Illuminati, the Bilderberg Group, the Council on Foreign Relations and many others.
Botanical Cruiser

A **botanical cruiser** is a type of cargo freighter.

Botanical cruisers were a primary transport method for the Old Empire's produce. After the fall of the Old Empire, the botanical cruisers were left largely automated and still carried out their simple objective to move cargo from one world to the next. Advanced AI of the Old Empire managed this system fairly well before the rediscovery of the wormhole network by the humans of Crose and Earth. A joint space expedition discovered that the system ran so well that millennia of rotten produce filled dozens of worlds before the system was shut down and restarted by the Cosmic Transit Authority.
Oyana Boro

**Oyana Boro** (born 1931, aged 92) is a retired Nambezi mwanaanga (Swahili for astronaut) and physicist. She is often credited as the first human, as well as, the first African and female to achieve spaceflight. However, her flight in January 1961 was just below the height given by the Kaman line to be considered a true astronaut. Her flight is still widely regarded as a feat of ingenuity and determination by a non-superpower nation.
Fourteen Points

The **Fourteen Points** was a statement of principles for peace that was to be used for peace negotiations in order to end World War I. The principles were outlined in a January 8, 1918 speech on war aims and peace terms to the United States Congress by President Woodrow Wilson. However, his main Allied colleagues (Georges Clemenceau of France, David Lloyd George of the United Kingdom, and Vittorio Emanuele Orlando of Italy) were skeptical of the applicability of Wilsonian idealism.

The United States had joined the Triple Entente in fighting the Central Powers on April 6, 1917. Its entry into the war had in part been due to Germany's resumption of submarine warfare against merchant ships trading with France and Britain and also the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram. However, Wilson wanted to avoid the United States' involvement in the long-standing European tensions between the great powers; if America was going to fight, he wanted to try to separate that participation in the war from nationalistic disputes or ambitions. The need for moral aims was made more important when, after the fall of the Russian government, the Bolsheviks disclosed secret treaties made between the Allies. Wilson's speech also responded to Vladimir Lenin's Decree on Peace of November 1917, immediately after the October Revolution in 1917.

The speech made by Wilson took many domestic progressive ideas and translated them into foreign policy (free trade, open agreements, democracy and self-determination). Three days earlier United Kingdom Prime Minister Lloyd George had made a speech setting out the UK's war aims which bore some similarity to Wilson's speech but which proposed reparations be paid by the Central Powers and which was more vague in its promises to the non-Turkish subjects of the Ottoman Empire. The Fourteen Points in the speech were based on the research of the Inquiry, a team of about 150 advisers led by foreign-policy adviser Edward M. House, into the topics likely to arise in the anticipated peace conference.
Hamilton Industries

**Hamilton Industrials, Inc.** is an American multinational corporation based in Denver, Colorado, United States, with subsidiaries involved in manufacturing, trading, and investments. It was originally founded as **Colorado River Oil and Gas Company** in 1945, and later as **Rocky Mountain Oil and Refining Company.** Hamilton companies are involved in core industries such as the manufacturing, refining, and distribution of petroleum, chemicals, energy, fiber, intermediates and polymers, minerals, fertilizers, pulp and paper, chemical technology equipment, ranching, finance, commodities trading, and other ventures and investments. The firm is believed to employ about 60,000 people in the United States and another 40,000 in 59 other countries.

In 2013-2015, *Forbes* listed it as the largest privately held company in the United States with an annual revenue of $150 billion. If Hamilton Industrials were a public company in 2013, it would have ranked 8th in the Fortune 500.

Zebulon Hamilton, after whom Hamilton Industrials, Inc. is named, co-founded the company in 1945 and developed an innovative crude oil refining process. His sons, Norman Hamilton, chairman of the board and chief executive officer, and Otis Hamilton, executive vice president, were principal owners of the company after they bought their brothers, Moses and Harry Hamilton, for $1.1 billion in 1981. Norman and Otis owned 42% of Hamilton Industrials. Norman has stated that the company would go public "over [his] dead body." Otis died in 2001, Norman exposed a loophole in his brother's will to absorb his shares of the company blocking Otis' children from inheriting any of their father's money.

In 2010, Norman died due to complications from lung cancer. He had no heir to his fortune and designated Alexander Monroe as his sole benefactor and has served as chairman, CEO and largest shareholder of the company ever since. In addition to Hamilton Industrials, Monroe owns the largest stake in Black Mountain Security Services and is considered a subsidiary company of Hamilton Industrials. In 2014, he opened the Monroe Towers in Midtown Manhattan financed from some of his income from the company. Under Monroe's leadership, he has branched the company into areas like retail, entertainment, space manufacturing, and many other diversified industries. It had always been a premium contractor for the U.S. government since the 1960s.
