Infovariant of the standard sci-fi history, which is outlined below.
WinEach of the eras can be considered a setting of it's own, even if they're interconnected through history.
0 Pre-history
Our World Ends ( 5'000BC - 2150AD)
This is an ultra-hard sci-fi and post apocalyptic setting.
WarningLittle is known of this time period. Circa 2150AD rising tensions lead to global conflict. The who and why is unknown. What is known is the resulting social, financial and ecological catastrophes lead to a significant societal shift.
DangerMost of historical records from this time are lost. Some relics still remain scattered across the Shards.
1 Development and Exploration of the Solar System
The Second Cold War Period (2200AD - 3000AD)
This is a hard sci-if, solarpunk & cyberpunk setting.
In the aftermath of the previous conflict the world divides into two large blocks, though fully independent groups do exist and form throughout. The earlier, the harder the science requirement. The Dive Drive is developed between 2800-2900.
The Confederacy is born. It's the only form of human governing that survives until past The Shattering. It's largely a oversight, relief and security compact between nations. While the rules are strict and ruthlessly enforced, they are limited to the scope of the Universal Declaration of Sapient Rights (2151). By and large nation states, tribes, local groups are left alone so long as they follow the UDSR.
The Confederacy is the solarpunk side of the coin. The economic and social systems are nigh incompatible with free capitalism, thus the clear divide.
The United Corporations are the cyberpunk side of this era. Hyper capitalist, corporate-feudal states run a highly stratified, highly controlled society. Social order is enforced by each state and their interactions are limited and highly bureaucratic. Due to the exploitative nature of the UC, both towards their resources and people, there is virtually no contact between Confed and UC.
