The Solar Age
Synopsis
The Solar Age was characterized by humanity’s first steps in exploring and subduing its home system – the infancy of its attempts at terraforming, and learning to cope with long-term space travel. Propulsion technology was relatively primitive, though its saw several innovations that would lay the groundwork for later development.
Politically, the Solar Age saw the weakening of sovereign national powers. In their place international entities arose to fill the void, and corporations took the first steps toward becoming powerful global entities in their own right.
