* ArtisticLicenseSpace: Sol isn't the kind of star that can go nova, and it certainly wouldn't be a [[ScifiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale mere million years from now]]. Background material[=/=]WordOfGod states this was artificially induced by someone opening jump points inside the sun to siphon off its mass and deliberately causing it to become unstable, ostensibly to prevent the curious from trying to retrieve technology from Earth after humanity moves on from it.

Added DiffLines:

** Background material [=/=]WordOfGod is that many Earth Colonies did survive the burn, but many were the IA loyal colonies Earth had just confessed to wanting to nuke flat. And so, feeling Earth had gotten exactly what it deserved, they washed their hands of what was left. Leaving it eventually to the Rangers to step in and slowly nudge Earth back to the stars.

Daniel runs off in a panic and the hologram gives him a Garibaldi trademark canary-eating cat smirk. That's what happens when you give a hologram the personality ''and skills'' of Michael Garibaldi. Danny-boy never stood a chance. As the base is engulfed in fire, the recording ends.

Daniel runs off in a panic and the hologram gives him a Garibaldi trademark canary-eating cat smirk. That's what happens when you give a hologram the personality ''and skills'' of Michael Garibaldi. Danny-boy never stood a chance. Holo-baldi, happy that he prevented a mass murder, says goodbye to the recreations of his friends and waits for the missiles to hit. As the base is engulfed in fire, the recording ends.

-->'''Holo-baldi''': This little lab of yours, this isn't by any chance located on military base, is it?
