There it is, the future of mankind on other planets. Embryonic space colonization and exoplanets always interested me since when I read about science fiction, this is the future history of man and exoplanets.

2050.

NASA plans on the creation of the Orbital and Lunar Colonies. Construction of Island 1 is opened in 23 February 2070. At that time, with the cooperation of other space agencies and the United Nations, they also begin the construction of the first Lunar Colony named Shackleton Colony.

2070.

By this moment, NASA have already constructed 8 Islands whose names are Island 1, New Hope, Yuri Gagarin, Asimov, Eisenhower, Apollo, Asgard and Paradise. Construction of more Lunar Colonies are commissioned around the world for the Crater Cities, a type of lunar outpost which is constructed in craters and domed biosphere which allows a breathable atmosphere which cities are built.

2079.

Millions are living in Orbital and Lunar Colonies. They live in peace because overpopulation and severe pollution crisis is averted on Earth. Inspired by the success of the Colonies, the United Nations and the Space Agencies form a new world government called the Global Federation.

A ionic propulsion system is designed by scientists, corporation, space agencies of the world known as the Particle Pulse Engine or R-NMAX is designed for faster space travel.

Sooner or later, the Global Federation and its space agency announces the construction of Project Ares and Project Aphrodite which are programs to terraform and colonize Mars and Venus respectively.

2081

Mars and Venus begin terraforming. Probes sent by GFSA are designed to launch robots and machines known as Terraformers which can terraform barren or uninhabitable planets into habitable planets for humans.

2083

Mars and Venus is fully terraformed. At that time, scientists discover a way to generate anomalies which can distort space to make shorter space travel. It is called the Alpha Spatial Distortion and it is a top-secret project.

2085

GFSA announces the Embryonic Seed Exoplanetary Colonization Program or ESECP Program for short. Its purpose is to colonize extrasolar planets by cryogenically freezing 144,000 human embryos and a database for a whole human genome in each seed ship known as the S-Ark which is assisted by the Particle Pulse Engine and the Alpha Spatial Distortion Generator.

The S-Arks are designed to carry the payload and the Terraformer to certain extrasolar planets or exoplanets which are inhabitable for human survival. They are commandeered by A.I.s which navigate the whole S-Ark and take care of life-support, in which is taken care by onboard computers which maintains the subsystems and the embryos.

The S-Arks are few kilometers long and are designed to survive the deepest and darkest reaches of space to arrive at the exoplanet. Shuttles the size of small spacecraft are launched from onboard factories similar to Von Neumann robots, to investigate the exoplanet environment for terraforming.

At exactly 7:30 am about as many as 151 S-Arks are launched from Earth, Moon, Orbital colonies and Mars are launched into space and goes under hyperjump of interplanetary distance is detected.

Planets

  1. Proxima Centauri b (Lapith)
  2. Gliese 667 Cc (Martyax)
  3. Kepler-442b (Hiraeth)
  4. Wolf 1061c (Orpheus)
  5. Kepler-22b (Namek)
  6. Gliese 832 c (Enigmaticus)
  7. Kepler-62e (Venetia)
  8. TRAPPIST-1e,f,g (Moirai)
  9. Kepler-452b
  10. Kepler-62f
  11. Kepler-186f
  12. HD 69830 d (Aurora Regalis and the Jewels)
  13. Gliese 581g (Zarmina)
  14. Epsilon Eridani b (Aegir)
  15. Fomalhaut b (Dagon)

And other unknown planets.

2089

Rebellions and corporate warfare break out in Mars and Venus. They want independence from the Global Federation, but the Federation demands resources from those planets for the economy.

The Global Federation renames itself the Sol Sphere and decides on preparing the colonization of Alpha Centauri, which planet’s name is Chiron. They use the hyperjump to get easy access on the planet in which they send the generation ships towards it.

Chiron is settled by the First Fleet. The Terraformer is deployed to the planet’s surface, which will take 2-3 years to terraform this planet.

2094

Tensions arrive. The Sol Sphere orders a lockdown on the colonists after a massive strike and violent riot occurs. The Sol Sphere also strengthens its military power upon Luna and the Orbital Colonies to defend itself from attacks.

June 14, 2094. The Martian and the Venusian colonists conspire an operation to force the Sol Sphere to surrender. It is called Operation Heaven's Gate which involved a orbital kinetic weapon via by dropping Asimov an Island aimed at the city of New York City.

They succeded. The event which is called Lucifer's Hammer cost over 10 million casualties and a massive scarring of the North American continent. The Sol Sphere declares war upon Mars and Venus kicking off the Ten-Year War which ended in the bombing of Earth, Mars, Venus and the complete desolation of Moon.

This also caused a massive cut-off for all communications from the Solar System to the S-Arks.

2099

The S-Arks heading for Proxima Centauri arrive at the planet named Lapith. The land and start to give a light terraforming process which made it habitable for the embryonic settlers and colonists to survive while incubated in the tanks.

2104

A mass-migration of over 5 million humans head for Alpha Centauri, specifically the planet Chiron. They invade and kill large amount of settlers before the army made its dictatorship.

2605

Most of the embryonic settlers have grown and made their mark on the planets. They do not know about the S-Arks and the Earth they come from, they all just assume they are native on the planet.

Okay, I have a few questions about this setting.

  • How would society and culture grow on the exoplanets settled by embryonic colonists. They worship the S-Arks' A.I.s and their maintenance towards them with their 'Robot' angels.
  • Evolution by adaptions on the exoplanet's environments. By that point of history when the S-Ark's launched, most human augmentations were cheap and held by the S-Ark's A.I.s. And also I will need to explain the exoplanet environments when you need to ask me about it.
  • Can a civilization evolve from a small group of embryonic colonists within 505 years?

First off, did the A.I.s command or commandeer the sleeper ships?

Second, who raised the first gen colonists? Children can't exactly care for themselves. An AI would be a dead giveaway that the embryo colonists weren't native to that planet.

Third, if you had to ship the first colonists out as embryos then how can you have mass exodus be economical?

I'll answer some of the questions.

  1. The A.I.s commanded the sleeper ships.
  2. The embryos are grown and raised in incubators where a virtual reality simulation is generated in their minds for training on exoplanets.
  3. The mass-exodus was forced by the complete destruction of Earth, Mars, Venus and the Moon to Chiron in the Alpha Centauri system, in which non-embryonic human colonists live here.

The planets' environments:

  • Venetia is a water planet which is completely consists of lagoons which were originally sunken continents a million years ago. The planet's atmosphere is similiar to Earth, except it has more water vapor and methane.
  • Martyax is a desert planet covered with canyons and gorges. It has rivers and lakes for water supply for the settlers. It has red-orange skies and often rains lightly. Life on the planet consists of photosynthesizing microorganisms evolvd to absorb the light of the red dwarf.
  • Namek: A ocean planet with many scattered islands and landmasses. The life on the planet cosists of fish-like creatures and sea monsters which often rely on eating the coral and stromalite biomes.
