Standard Sci-Fi History: Difference between revisions

* Most ''[[Gundam]]'' series are typically set at Stage 1...and sadly jump into Stage 2.

* ''[[Legend of the Galactic Heroes]]'' takes place during the end of the Second Empire and the birth of the Third.

* ''[[Traveller]]'' follows this with several cultures. At the default time of the [[GURPS]] version, the Imperium is old and seemingly stable but the frontiers are chaotic and incompletely explored.

** Though the history of Humaniti is a bit different due to the [[Precursors|Ancients]] [[Transplanted Humans|seeding them]] all across the galaxy. The Vilani discovered Jump drive first and founded the First Imperium, as it was just starting it's decline the expanding Terran Federation encountered them, went to war, and took over turning it into the Second Imperium. The Second collapsed into interregnum quickly, and a thousand years later the Third (and current) Imperium emerged.

* ''[[Eclipse Phase]]'' takes place ten years [[After the End|after "The Fall"]], a combination [[Robot War]] and [[The Singularity|Singularity]] that left earth a radioactive wasteland patrolled by killer robots. Most of the <1 billion survivors are scattered across the solar system. A couple years after the Fall the [[Portal Network|Pandora Gates]] were discovered and used to explore and colonize a few extrasolar planets, shortly after [[Starfish Aliens|The Factors]] made contact. Transhumanity is too fragmented for any sort of "empire" and if the Anarchists have their way it's unlikely there ever will be one.
