Colonization



Humans have engaged in colonization for millennia, which has been one of the reasons for mankind's development. Colonies begin as small exclaves or purposeful settlements by a certain people, but may grow to become main areas of life and development.

Among the most prominent and most effective colonizers, we count the cultures of the Neolithic, the Indo-Europeans, Celts, ancient Greeks, Romans, Spanish, British, and Russians.

Space Colonization
A subject long discussed until the mid-21st Century, when the first asteroidal space stations were founded to host miners and personnel, which were the first de facto space colonies of man. Space stations eventually came to house thousands of persons affiliated to the space industries, some even becoming known as 'Station Cities'. In 2256, the first Exoplanet was colonized, named Terranova, New Earth. The UNSA - the United Nations Space Agency was responsible for the colonization and division of the land on the planet. Chinese settlers repudiated the treaties that bound them to a coordinated settlement, and began settling aggressively, pushing out other colonists, and the UN as such. Out of this came new treaties in space. The next world to be settled was Novaya Rossiya, nowadays Novaya Zemlya, also meaning New Earth. This time, the Russian Federation engaged in its colonization almost single-handedly, thus avoiding Un sanctions and resolutions. Next came the discovery of Lundheim and the Midguards.

The planet of Tangiers was settled autonomously by an unknown groupation of peoples, and subsequently the inhabitants of Tangiers settled Isthmus and Aurora.

New Britain, nowadays Gea, was terraformed during the 24th century, to offer habitability within around a century, and is now one of the most prosperous colonies of man. It controls the vast Gean Expanse and the micro-worlds Modon and Koron.
