 **2111** - First Contact:  The message from extrasolar space, once decrypted, proves to be working plans for a hyperspace jumpgate.  Human engineers are stymied, however.  How do they build a jumpgate to allow escape from Sol System without announcing their presence to the Inner Planets worlds? **2111** - First Contact:  The message from extrasolar space, once decrypted, proves to be working plans for a hyperspace jumpgate.  Human engineers are stymied, however.  How do they build a jumpgate to allow escape from Sol System without announcing their presence to the Inner Planets worlds?
    
-**2125** - Engineers, studying scans from the recom jumpgate, gain insight into how the realspace/hyperspace barrier works, and believe they can build a functional, single-use jumpgate.  After several months, Project Exodus is announced: suitable planet will be chosen and a ship carrying the last of humanity will depart with that planet as its ultimate destination, provided the untested jumpgate actually functions.+**2125** - Engineers, studying scans from the recom jumpgate, gain insight into how the realspace/hyperspace barrier works, and believe they can build a functional, single-use jumpgate.  After several months, Project Exodus is announced: fleet of ships will depart Sol System with the last of humanity as its cargo, provided the untested jumpgate actually functions.
    
 **2130** - The human 'mothership' departs Sol System, taking with it the vast majority of the human population, and has not been heard from since.  A small handful of humans refuse to concede what they feel would be defeat, and elect to stay in Sol System.   **2130** - The human 'mothership' departs Sol System, taking with it the vast majority of the human population, and has not been heard from since.  A small handful of humans refuse to concede what they feel would be defeat, and elect to stay in Sol System.

 While the few remaining human colonies have retained use of some advanced technologies, including medical nanotechnology and genetic engineering, they have suffered from a lack of Terran-specific resources in the same way Luna and Mars did, and much like Luna and Mars, have experienced a similar technological backslide in the years following the Apocalypse War.  Most humans have taken advantage of several gengineering techniques, such as Katsuki's microgravity tolerance genemod and the 'Tennin' physiological genemod, enabling their offspring to live anywhere in space without suffering debilitating effects. While the few remaining human colonies have retained use of some advanced technologies, including medical nanotechnology and genetic engineering, they have suffered from a lack of Terran-specific resources in the same way Luna and Mars did, and much like Luna and Mars, have experienced a similar technological backslide in the years following the Apocalypse War.  Most humans have taken advantage of several gengineering techniques, such as Katsuki's microgravity tolerance genemod and the 'Tennin' physiological genemod, enabling their offspring to live anywhere in space without suffering debilitating effects.
    
-The 'Lost Fleet' that departed for trans-Neptunian space arrived at their destinations largely intact, and have set up jumpgates that remain powered down the majority of the time, except for pre-arranged, scheduled transits, effectively minimizing the threat of invasion while still allowing for emergency resupply runs.+The 'Lost Fleet' that departed for trans-Neptunian space arrived at their destinations largely intact, and have set up jumpgates that remain powered down the majority of the time, except for pre-arranged, scheduled transits, effectively minimizing the threat of invasion while still allowing for emergency resupply runs.  As a general rule, these transport ships use remotely-controlled robots to handle all transactions with recoms, disguising their true nature.  On the rare occasion face-to-face interaction with an organic entity is required, elaborate encounter suits are used, under the guise of 'quarantine protocols' to prevent the possible spread of infectious diseases between worlds.
