History in VESS

Here is a rough history of the universe of Void of Earth's Solar System

FIRST ERA

This was the prehistoric time of humanity before the exodus into space and the formation of Earth's first world government. It occurs over 3000 years ago.

SECOND ERA

This era begins around 3000 years ago with the organization of the first world government on Earth. Lasting until around 1500 years before the present time. It is the time where the invention of many of the various types of intelligent beings (basically anyone other than humans born by natural, traditional, non-cloning methods; see races in VESS) and the invention of many of the current technologies currently in use (see technology in VESS). The terraforming of the planets Mars and Venus to Earth-like conditions (see Mars in VESS and Venus in VESS), the construction of the near-Earth orbital cities (see near-Earth orbital cities in VESS), and the colonization of all the above places as well as, Earth's moon Luna (see Luna in VESS), the planet Mercury (see Mercury in VESS and the asteroid belt (see asteroid belt in VESS) between Mars and Jupiter orbits.

THIRD ERA

This era lasts from 1500 years ago to 1000 years ago. This saw corruption and crime, as regional nationalist sentiment that saw the development of independent governments in North America, Africa, and Australia. Some of the politicians, bureaucrats, and military and law-enforcement units of the original world regime form a new political party, the United Earth Union, which promoted a policy of world unity and racial equality, unlike the rival governments which promoted the notion that natural-born humans were morally and racially superior to human clones, felinoids, canoids, intelligent apes and dolphins, and artificial-intelligence personalities in some robots and computers. The Political Union won the wars to reunite the native planet of humanity and form the current United Earth Regime. Meanwhile, colonization of the moons of the gas giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune (see Outer planets in VESS) and even the Kuiper Belt (see Kuiper Belt in VESS pick up pace.

FOURTH ERA

This era lasts from 1000 years ago to about 500 years ago. It sees the Uited Earth Regime and it's ruling Earth Political Union begin a military and political campaign to unite the entire solar system under it's banner. It completely takes over the near-Earth orbital cities and gains control of parts of Luna, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the asteroid belt, but the local governments unite as the League of Planets to stop the Regime's advances. Meanwhile, the various member states in the outer solar system federate in a loose Outworld Alliance to promote some semblance of law and order. The independent spaceship owners who specialize in interplanetary trade and various religious leaders form the Free Trade and Religious Guilds respectively (see politically neutral guilds) at this time.
