| It is 500 years in our future, The Earth as we know it is “used up” ecologically
and resource wise the Earth is now gone. Humanity is now spread over 70 some worlds, terraformed. Some of these worlds were lush and vibrant offering humanity a haven the likes of which haven’t seen since the forgotten Earth. Other planets not so much. The core worlds began to form a powerful alliance, while the independent worlds intended to stay independent. And soon the league of independent worlds found themselves in a war with the better equipped and more numerous Alliance forces. History It was on the planet Hera that the Alliance finally delivered a crushing blow to the exhausted League forces. The surrender took place at the battle of Serenity Hill. The League’s Browncoats fought valiantly but were outgunned and out numbered. Since then the galaxy as we know it has been under the rule of the Alliance. Since this time, the alliance and it’s silent partner the Blue Sun corporation has had almost complete control of the Galaxy as we know it. Some folk however fall through the cracks of an Alliance that concerns itself with the welfare of a small percentage yet has dominion over 70 planets. |
| "After the Earth was used up, we found a new solar system and hundreds of new Earths were terraformed and colonized. The central planets formed the Alliance and decided all the planets had to join under their rule. There was some disagreement on that point. After the War, many of the Independents who had fought and lost drifted to the edges of the system, far from Alliance control. Out here, people struggled to get by with the most basic technologies; a ship would bring you work, a gun would help you keep it. A captain's goal was simple: find a crew, find a job, keep flying." -Shepard Book |

| When humanity left the Earth-That-Was, the Anglo-Sino Alliance was formed of the last two super powers on Earth. The United States and China.
As other worlds and moons were Terra formed, these two cultures blended along with all others. Predominant being the American old west style, and Chinese philosophies. It is not uncommon for a person the wear a turban with a leather jacket, or a gown adorned with a gypsy sash. The world merely blended. |
