The challenge is to have a believable timeline, including why certain technological progress has not been achieved. This lack of progress on several subjects is vital to keep the books about human nature and human experience. The largest setback in the history below was the Mercury Massacre of 2368.
Major Timeline:
- 2050 First humans on Mars, Moonbase
- 2056 Microbial life found on Mars
- 2060 Start of the “Heat century”, massive flooding, large setback. Energy crisis on Earth, the introduction of large scale nuclear energy, solar energy, wind energy, to counteract the Carbon Dioxide crisis.
- 2100 Moonbase >100.000 people
- 2100 First Jupiter bases
- 2107 Ocean life found at Jupiter moons (fish size, no intelligence)
- 2150 Mars colony >1b
- 2164 Ocean life found at Saturn moons
- 2175 Jupiter moons >100.000
- 2180 First Saturn bases
- 2200 Venus cities created >50.000 people
- 2200+ Earth temperature back to normal, oceans receding. Several large cities emerge, are rebuilt.
- 2226 Proclamation of independence of outer colonies
- 2290 Mercury research station created ~50000
- 2300 Earth hit 15b people, Mars 5b, Venus 750m
- 2368 Mercury AI starts its attack, Mercury itself had 60.000 people, all killed. Massive destruction on all inner colonies and earth, massive food poisoning (nuclear waste based)
- 2373 Humanity won (quickly), Mercury destroyed, huge humanitarian effort to save as many of the population of the inner colonies as possible, 2b refugees to Mars!
- 2379 Most technical infrastructure restored, start of the science restoration project, declaration on AI acceptance(limiting allowed levels of AI)
- 2400+ Some knowledge still lost, but society recovered mostly. Earth society stays relatively small. Mars grows back to old numbers, largely due to refugees.
- 2450 First human stellar colony ship (slow)
- 2445-75 Golden age of piracy, mostly around outer moons of Saturn.
- 2461 Mercury’s Child
- 2468 Revolution on Earth, getting rid of technocratic government, nature/green government with relative democratic structure, growing towards a dictatorship by the head shaman.
- 2474 Second stellar colony ship leaves, lost contact in 2527.
- 2500 Science levels back to pre-massacre level, ideas service about technology enhancements to get to Fast than Light travel, Conference about this at Jupiter.
- 2503 Shadow upon Saturn’s Rings
- 2510 Civil war at Saturn moons, old piracy nature still there
- 2517 Technology brings peace at Saturn, mostly through better living standards for outer moons. Society more open democracy compared to the more technocratic juvian rulers.
- 2525 First stellar probe that is FTL (unmanned)
- 2532 Saturn overtakes Jupiter in wealth/size, Mars overcrowded at ~8b
- 2535 First manned stellar ships
- 2542 Jenny’s Dream
- 2546 Life found at other star systems
- 2547 Human mission sent to 2450 colony ship, bringing them a FTL probe, scouting capability
- 2553 Introduction of first on board artificial gravity fields
- 2559 First colony at other star system (Second colony ship)
- 2584 FTL stellar colony ship sent to new colony, mostly from Mars
- ~2600 Colonies on smaller bodies introduce artificial gravity for better general health
- 2650 10 Colonies founded at various stars, ongoing trade. Mars back to 5b.
- ~2650 Earth population starts growing again, gravity technology allows for easier access to space
- 2673 Intelligent life found at star system, at very early bronze age levels.
- 2679-2693 Civil war at a star colony
- 2750 Earth back on 7b people
- 2753 Advanced intelligence found, peaceful interaction
- 2884 First war with intelligent aliens
