A map of the inner solar system from my Golden Age timeline, set in 2210
Just getting this out there while I'm in the mood for creativity.

It uses pressure bars, what our normal Bar pressure, so we/I understand?

Earth's normal pressure is 1 bar at sea level

It's not to scale, of course

Is anyone going to attemt to reterraform Earth?

Well the technology is there - Venus' atmosphere has been reduced by around a third since the first landings - but the problem is the radiation. Earth's air, land and water will likely remaing poisonous for many hundreds of millennia. Currently Earth is seen as a tomb, to be either honoured or raided

isnt there some sort of radiation scrubber technology?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nothing much more advanced than we have today, and nothing applicable on an entire planetary scale

a shame. I hate seeing earth destroyed beyond repair

What would have been Earth's population when the FTL exploded? Just wondering.

Probably teetering around 10 billion

Good lordy thats a lot of people. How many managed to escape the planet?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Possibly two billion were evacuated, the rest died

Got to follow the muse whenever it grabs you, and whatever it tells you to do.
Does the Third (or Fourth) Empire control all of Mars or do they just have hegemony over the Planet?
And is earth really dead, or has nobody checked?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Technically it's now just called the Imperial Alliance
Earth is dead; atmosphere poisoned and three times thicker than ours, heavily radioactive, there's little down there but bacteria and bones. Salvage and scavenging operations are undetaken all the time, mostly under the auspices of the Conglomerate, but no survivors have been found for the past forty years
I've got a map of the outer system in the works too, showing the Imperial-controlled Jovian territory

Sounds good, looking forward to it.
Was I asleep for just 6 hours? I need to get to bed earlier.

So did humanity nuke the Earth in some war prior to this?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
50 years prior to this setting, at the end of the Solar War, the Earth was devestated when a prototype faster-than-light drive was activated in the south Pacific. It exploded, fractured the crust, and triggered massive earthquakes and tsunamis around the world. Radioactive debris also rained down over much of the planet, poisoning the air and water. A massive evacuation was led by the major powers of the day, but billions still died.

Oh. Why does that sound somewhat familiar?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Where from? It's my own storyline, although I guess it's a fair cliche to destroy the Earth

Cowboy Bebop had a similar premise, minus the Solar War bit.

Having just read the wiki about the series, I'd like to point out that my explosion happens *on* Earth, and also it comes a lot later, after the solar system is already colonised
