BAC: DotP-Comments.

[Lonestar]

Just what it says guys. I posted the Prologue today, I'll begin the story proper tomorrow.

[Frankychan]

sounds pretty good so far,

if its related to the BAC storyline (as it should) it should be consistent with Kass' timeline. Maybe checking w/Kass would be good.

Well, everything from here on out is going to take place Isolated from Earth. I think the Prologue is consistant with Kass's timeline...

[Kassiopeia]

I read it, and it seems to turn out good. I have been thinking of a BAC-short story myself, actually.
On quick reference, I have kept the history of the 21st century in my timeline very vague, as I didn't bother to put it in on detail. Just try to avoid stretching the Earth-related stuff further to the next century when the story starts , and all will be fine.

Hey guys, real quick question. In the Alpha Centauri Unity Story, was the name of the survivalist group Santiago belonged to The Spartans?

Yep, it was the Spartan Coalition.

[Mr. President]

Do you mean on the ship, or on Earth? The good General mentioned the shipbound one; in Mexico and Los Angeles, Santiago ran with the Jade Falcons.

Alrighty, here's some discussion and a brief overview of DotP so far.


As you can tell, the Ian McDiarmid is not the cold, calculating Lord Protector in the BAC thread. Obviously, something dramatic will happen to change that.

I believe that the Spartan Coalition was the name of a Earthside Survivalist group as well, the Jade Falcons were a gang in Los Angeles. Again, the SC will some into play, some years down the road. A prize to those who can guess who's the resident member of the SC.

That's all for now...just thought I'd toss that stuff in.

Santiego looks like a mexican and i am sure she knows spanish, even i she was born in Los Angelas..... she could of been part of the Jade Falcon gang there, then later on joined the Spartan Coalition....but i don't think she was incharge of the Spartan Coalition.

USA was about to fall apart, and the militaristic Mexicans at the time took advantage of it by trying to invade USA. Mexicans got repelled, USA falls apart into various independent states...... Mexican gov also gets overthrown soon afterwards due to the lost and the military shortage to prevent it Spartan Coalition somehow got formed involving northern mexico, south california, new mexico, arizona and etc....in that general area. there could have been some conflicts between the Spartan Coalition, Republic of California, Texas Republic and so on.

I know that the Russian Federation must of at some point in thr early 21st became the Russian Commonwealth....which was falling apart by the 2060s, along with other bigger nations. European Union seem to have been one nation, but were having problems themselves. I say Canada was still unified and strong

Pakistan and India may have some minor nuke exchange in the 2040s or 2050s. Africa is in a big mess, having their Sahara Burst Wars and so on. communist China became a imperial nation early in the 21st, and then that falled apart and became the Chinese Republic by the 2050s

Atleast after WW3, and when they started colonizing Sol, there several strong nations..... the European Union, Russia, China, Japan, Australia, Canada, Middle East, new United States or not, or under some other name, and so on... which causes colonial friction between nations and corporations, causing the War for Sol between two or three major alliances bloc like the Western Alliance, Eastern Coalition, and so on. that ended and Luna rebels, trying to gain independence... Earth nations unites and retakes Luna while Mars declares independence. after retaking Luna and repair, Earth fleet sent to Mars, trying to get it back but looses. soon after that, there was the belt war. there was mars civil war, and becomes the Mars Combine... and earth forms as the coalition... eventual friction between Earth and Mars, causing the Second War for Sol.. which ends after discovering the Scion ship and destroying it.... so starts the Scion War right after WFS2. during the Second War for Sol, there was the tempory Venus blockade by Earth ships, causing famine on venus. blockade eliminated by various venus ships, with the help from the combine.... after scion war, was discovery of FTL and then discovery of Elerium 85 used to power FTl drives in the Asteroid belt.... soon causing another belt war., but ends with some treaties. after the Gaian contact, the terran alliance in form in the early 2500s.

If you recall Centauri Dawn, both India and Pakistan wiped each other out in the 'Seven-Minute War'.

[Mellian]

Yes i guess it wasn't minor then

Nah, it's split into four nations, Quebec, Canada, the Western Union, and Nunuvat.

Well that's a cheap way to get rid of two big nations, while India has over 1, 000, 000, 000 (1b) citizens today. Couldn't they be more imaginative? Or ethical?

[Cybergod]

Or what about Eastern Europe, including the troubled and economically collapsed Balkans? Or the Middle East? And what about the global warming?

Too politically sensitive, I'm guessing. With the former two, if you say one side won, the other will never buy the games and books. With the latter, well, I've heard both that the Earth is warming up and that we're entering a new ice age, and neither argument can convince a majority of the population.
