So, given the galactic history and the state of technology, what year would you say it is?
To sum up galactic history:
- Earth obtained sustainable spaceflight and discovered warp drive
- Earth began expanding its borders, pushing into nearby systems
- Humanity found aliens, and fought the aliens; humanity won and pushed the aliens out of their worlds so humanity could have them
- Humanity continued this trend for a while
- Humanity made a beeline for the center of the galaxy, expanding and pushing their way around as they went
- New Earth was founded near the galactic center; the original Earth became known as Old Earth
- Most alien species encountered have been forced into Sanctuary Worlds, some of which are not part of their original territory; many alien ecologies are forced into the same state if deemed safe enough to move; many are wiped out and cleared in preparation for an Earthlike ecology
- Earth's flora and fauna mostly died out, with a large portion carried to the stars and spread among new planets
- Humanity took over the galactic center and spread outwards between planets, rapidly colonizing worlds and increasing the galactic population by a significant amount
- More wars took place; by this time most alien species are forced into Sanctuary Worlds which may not even be part of their original territory
- Humanity grows and divides the galaxy in half between the inner and outer worlds; the inner worlds are rich with trade while the outer worlds are mostly abandoned
- Humanity fills its colonies and grows stagnant; crime, specism and hatred fester
We've never really pinned it down, and I suppose we should at some point, so, how about a poll to see what people think is most likely?
