History of the 'Verse

The good Lord said, "Be Fruitful and Multiply. And that's just what folk did. Centuries and Ages passed and good people had more good people. They spread out, found new lands and developed new ways.

And for a mighty long time, Earth-That-Was found a way to keep the people thrivin'. First it was the trees for fire and building homes, pastures for farmers, fields for rancher. Then came stone for quarries, precious minerals and the natural resources. As time went on, people just needed more and more, whether it be fuel, power, land, or even the air.

Humanity sucked the life out of the Earth-That-Was until she had no more to give.

Not willing to give up, the smartest of those folk looked outward, hoping it wasn't too late. They sent out huge machines to a likely system that had dozens of planets and hundreds of moons. More than enough for those that would take their chances elsewhere. So began the terraforming process that would take decades. Those on Earth-That-Was waited, hoping to survive long enough to make the difference elsewhere.
