It's 2170. About 100 years since founding, and hundreds of light years from Earth. You don't really care. They've never spoken to you. All you have are second-hand tales from trade caravans, about FTL failures and killer drones. They call it 'the Rim', but you just call it home.

History Paths

A1) Origins

Pioneers
Some people petitioned the posthumans with the pure spirit of adventure. With no frontiers left on Earth, only longshots could satisfy the human drive for exploration and discovery.
Seperatists
Others left to escape persecution, real or imagined. Distance from Earth would shield them and let them start anew.
Idealists
Still others held in their minds an ideal for society. By travelling to a new land with like-minded people, they could make a better life, on sound principles.
