Science Fiction – A universe setting
History:
After the mass exodus of Sol III in the late 2100’s, human life began to revolve around a basic ‘triglobal’ system: Earth, Ganymede, and Mars; and was stable there in the Sol system for nearly 1000 years more, with technical advances allowing small scale colonisations and large-scale mining on nearly every rock lump orbiting Sol Primary.
With the year 3000 came great inter-planetary strife once more, and the resultant explosion in research, and the much-vaunted technology allowing interstellar travel, came just a bit too late to prevent mass extinctions of the military corps of both Earth and Mars.
Faced with the much-reduced population of humans, and the possibility of expansion beyond the Sol system, the Ganymede central government began a mass-regeneration phase project, whereby communities were ‘bred’ for the purpose of colonising new worlds. Having found suitable planets in the relatively near space, humans settled, grew, expanded, and gradually forgot their humble beginnings.
Technology:
The first technology that allowed humans to break the constraints of realtime travel was that of boson manipulation, or ‘freefall’, which, by use of specific ultra-high-speed rotors or fans, altered the gravitational field around a ship so that it ‘fell’ in the indicated direction, and with no huge resistance, very high speeds could be attained. By the early 4000’s, boson technology had advanced to the point where bosons could easily be ‘manufactured’ leading to a kind of ultra-dense liquid. But by that point, other types of transport had been devised, such as singularity navigation, impulse fields, ion ramjets, radiation sails, and electron twist pairings.
