The History of the Earth's future

The following is a work of fiction and is my intellectual property.... it a senario of how the earth and the solar system and much of the unknown galaxy might turn out to be in the very distant future. It is highly incomplete and is subject to change at all possible times... even now as I write this I have thought of many new additions to make to this... but since I know not when time will permit me next to update it next I am putting it up as it is... I must reassert that this is not a prediction but ' a work of fiction' done solely as my hobby. I have put it up so as to share my thoughts with others who might have (or might not have) thought about the same type of senario sometime in their lives. First off I have included a very incomplete sketching (briefing) of the characters and civilizations involved and then the history of our Earth's future !! ;-)

Stellar Alliance - Strategic alliance and peace keeping body comprising Earth, Mars, Moon, Pluto, Ins, Zaion, Usde, Vscx and the Capsck systems.

Evwnz - Neutral and the largest system in central sphere, de-militarized zone which marks the end of spears of influence of the Alliance and the other party. Divided into two parts, half controlled by each party. Exactly at center lies the planet Rqes which marks as the headquarters for the peace process. Equal delegations from both parties, only route for trade and heavily taxed.

About the time - It is the year 2802 in the reckoning of the Earth calendar, humans have evolved much and spilled over to many parts of the now chartered galaxy, The Moon, Mars, and Pluto have long been colonized and lost. The first to be colonized was Mars. Even though the Moon was much closer, it was later developed only to be used as a space hub. In the year 2030 A.D. With the combined efforts of over 75 nations and a decade long preparation after the first landing on Mars, the much delayed Inheritance mission was launched from the now aging International Space Station. With 335 people on board from all walks of life the Inheritance was a success and by the end of next decade Mars was swarming with a population of over two million people. Space travel became increasingly inexpensive but still for the huge requirements cheaper alternatives were being searched for. The Moon which had for ages been kept only for scientific and military purposes was now turned into a space port and like a transition stage to Mars. Soon it too was colonized. By the end of the year 2143 A.D, a hundred and thirteen years after the Inheritance, Mars and Moon were fully stable planets with huge populations and vast resources but they lacked self rule. They were governed by the leaders on Earth and were painfully neglected in most cases. The Martian Governing body on the Earth comprised of people who had never even been to the planet and hardly knew of its grievances. Sanctioned supplies were becoming lesser with each consignment and request from the colonies were met with deaf ears. Trouble was eminent, and the submission of yester years was soon to be lost. Civil disorder took place on Mars which reached the scale of a full fledged rebellion against the Earth. In the summer of 2203 self rule was demanded and complete autonomy. Not a colony of Earth but an independent, self governing planet. A hundred and seventy years under the mercy of the Earth had been enough. Forces were rushed to Mars. Earth was in no mood to have a new self ruling neighbor. Civil War broke out and it was only in the spring of the year 2209 with the assassination of the Senator, the representative of the Earth on Mars, that peace was restored with Ramz, the capital of Earth, accepting the new status of the planet. It had been a bloody and brutal war, a lot of blood had wet the soil on both planets but that wasn't the end. With the passing of the year the leaders on the Moon declared the same desires and the rebellion of the Moon followed in that summer. It was only in the winter of 2210 that the Moon was given the same status as Mars. Subsequently Pluto was colonized 13 years after that season and by the year 2313 it too was lost from under the govern ship of Earth. Great conflicts and issues took place in the years to come and after heaps of efforts in the year 2387, the Stellar Alliance was formed. Military and civil aid was promised to each other. All were signatories save except for Pluto which joined only after 15 years in the year 2402. The Alliance grew strong in power and status. Ships traveled far and wide seeking fortunes and knowledge. Soon the Alliance would establish itself as one of the supreme powers governing in the Galaxy.

Of Earth since time of Inheritance :

After the Inheritance mission was dispatched a great sense of oneness overcame the vast people of the Earth. The feeling would grow with time and would take the shape of a movement. A movement for unification but the idea seemed too far stretched, for there were numerous differences between the various power lobbies ruling their respective countries. Meanwhile Mars was established as a single unit under the control of a single government. It flourished well and the whole planet was caught in a state of equal and complete development. During the Martian Rebellion a greater need for unification was felt as huge burdens of death and destructions were to be beard. But with one party veto-ing the move of the other, much was stalled and finally Mars was lost. Greater stress was put on the issue but still some resisted and it was only after the loss of the Moon the following year, that most gave in and with a strong membership under the banner of the United Nations the treaty was formed. The first to be united was Europe followed closely by the Americas, Africa, Central Asia and the Gulf, Australia and then with much trouble and compromise, South-East Asia. The last country to join was China in the year 2222 A.D. A good nine years after the treaty was first formed. The Secretary General gave way to a new more powerful position as the head of the UN, The President of the Earth. A new Senate was created with each member country having representation. The former countries were now treated as states of the new order. Each state would have a chief who would be the member of the United Nations Senate. The United Army that had been raised during the Martian crisis was retained and re-christened as the Peace Keepers. Subdivisions as the Air-Force, Navy, Space Force and the Intelligence were created. It soon turned out to be a grand and admired force in the system. The President of the Earth was the commander in chief of the Earth forces, chief representative of the planet in the Stellar Alliance and a member of its governing body.

Of the period - 2802 A.D. - Trouble was brewing in the far western sectors of the Galaxy. Civilizations were being terrorized, talks told of a new power that had emerged and claimed to be the lordship of the entire region. Swarms of refugee were spilling over in the Central bulge. An emergency meet was called of all the high powers of the galaxy. Delegates from all the regions came to the Planet Suaq, home to Headquarters of the Galactic Accord ( The treaty of goodwill, trade and alliance declaring unity and friendship among the various signatories civilizations, which included almost all save perhaps one or two rouge ones). No concrete decision was made. The civilizations closer to the threat were pressing for action, the others like those of the Alliance did not heed. Meanwhile the power behind the dark veil grew stronger and started taking much of the galaxy for its own. It was only later that the Alliance and the other forces grew concerned of the menace and a word was issued. The Mauls, the creatures behind the evil laughed at the empty threat. Their forces moved over till half the Central bulge was theirs and it was only then that the Alliance along with the other remaining free civilizations declared war on them. It lasted for fifteen long years and it was in the year 2836 that peace was ensured with both sides wanting to recover from heavy loses. Thats when the Evwnz system was established. It was the largest solar system of the central sphere and was quite strategically situated in the middle of the galaxy. Its core planet the Rqes was marked as the headquarters for the peace process. The whole system starting from this very planet was divided equally among both the warring parties. Now half the galaxy belonged to the free people and the other half to the dark powers. It was to be the only legal trade route between the two sides and hence was heavily taxed. Time grew old and the new system was now accepted as the only path to peace. There was much disorder for all the refugees and the losses of the great war, acceptance was the only choice. And while development was being seeked (if thats a word) in the free space of the Alliance, in the dark realms of the new evil order efforts were being made to regain the strength of old. No treaty, they deemed powerful enough, the Maul Lords, to keep them from claiming the galaxy as their own. Peace was just a break till the power was gained again to uproot who ever remained and dared to resist. But even the Mauls were just pawns for the real evil had not yet revealed itself. Years passed on swiftly but the troubles still remained. All the time of peace was much needed and the Alliance for once chose not to sleep through it. Spies traveled far and deep into the dark space, all that could tell about the motives of the Mauls was seeked. Over the years much was learned. For one thing, the fact that the Mauls were not the ones really running the show was now known. Older civilizations and often wondered after the war, as to where the Mauls had found the courage to suddenly challenge all, fight a battle and then capture half the galaxy. Later it was found that indeed higher powers were at work behind the veil. The Mauls were just soldiers, but the soldiers of whom, only time would tell. The dark half was now called the Froj, the dark state of death. All feared it for it brought back the memories of old, the bitter days of war, when hope was none and terror about, when peace was just a concept and death a reality. Those days had passed, hope was renewed and for the time there was peace, for the time. But little did anyone know that gloom would return, for evil cannot be controlled, not by making peace and giving away half a galaxy. It would have to be destroyed and soon the time would come once again that darkness would spread about, that the free people would have to take stand, either to submit to the shadow or fight till the bitter end. All would have a part to play, as would Aeo.
