The Past of the Solar System

In the distant year of 2819, the vast expanse of the solar system found itself in the throes of a crisis. Humanity, numbering a staggering 300 billion souls, had spread its roots across Earth, the moon, Mars, Europa, and even within the orbital embrace of four majestic ring-shaped space cities encircling Earth. Overseeing this sprawling civilization was the Earth Interstellar Alliance Government, a formidable entity tasked with the intricate dance of population management, colony expansion, scientific exploration, and the delicate balance of resource allocation. Yet, despite their efforts, the specter of resource depletion loomed ominously, threatening the very fabric of human existence within the solar confines. Without intervention, the wellspring of life sustaining elements would dwindle to nothingness within a mere three centuries.
In the annals of governance, tensions simmered beneath the surface, fueled by early policies of stringent population control. These measures birthed a chasm between the Earth Interstellar Alliance Government and the various planetary factions, fostering an atmosphere of distrust and discord. On one side stood the champions of individual freedom, the Liberal Party, advocating for the unfettered growth of human potential. Opposing them were the zealous guardians of nature, the Environmental Party, whose cries for conservation clashed violently with the clamor of progress. Yet amidst this political maelstrom, clandestine alliances flourished, with many within the Environmental Party finding solace in the covert support of the very government they opposed.
In the dawn of 2820, a beacon of hope flickered across the cosmos as the scientists of the Earth Interstellar Alliance Government intercepted a transmission from the distant Urslan civilization. From the depths of their own Kepler-452 star system, the Urslan extended an invitation, revealing nine lush planets ripe for human habitation. Their once-thriving system, now facing a declining birth rate for a century, yearned for new settlers to breathe life into its celestial realms.
Fueled by the alliance of advanced Western countries and bolstered by the Earth Interstellar Alliance Government's support, the "Human Interstellar Commonwealth" was born. Crafted as a sanctuary amidst the encroaching shadows of resource depletion, this political entity emerged from the foresight of scientists who peered into the solar system's future, foreseeing the looming crisis. Six pioneering countries, driven by the prospect of interstellar migration, forged the Commonwealth, their eyes fixed on securing economic stability and equitable resource distribution for their citizens.
The birth of the Human Interstellar Commonwealth reverberated through the corridors of power, sending shockwaves across the solar system's political landscape. Outside its sanctum, countries stewed in a brew of disappointment and envy, while within its embrace, a nexus of brilliance coalesced. Laden with the finest minds, cutting-edge technology, and formidable military might, the Commonwealth cast a daunting shadow upon its rivals, igniting a frenzied scramble for survival.
Amidst whispers of impending conflict, a revelation dawned: the Commonwealth's true agenda lay not in territorial conquest, but in the meticulous execution of the "Human Optimization Program." This audacious scheme sought to sift humanity into hierarchies of worth, ferrying the chosen elite to the promised shores of Kepler-452, while consigning the solar system's remnants to an uncertain fate.
In the crucible of this epochal struggle, the Environmental Party emerged triumphant, their vision of sanctuary realized as they embarked on a voyage beyond the stars, guided by the wormhole coordinates bestowed by the Urslan civilization.
