[QUOTE="Thomas Bowman, post: 7406451, member: 6925649"] well its more of a "subway map" the positions on the map don't correspond to positions in actual space. Two adjacent hexes might actually be hundreds of light years apart, and thousands of years separated in time. There are a lot of extraterrestrial humans and they all originated on Earth. The Earth on this map is the Earth in the 25th century, this is a Buck Rogers campaign after all. In this version, Buck Rogers is a United States Space Force Pilot, he is out in space on patrol when the forces of Sigma Draconis attack, the Earth Space Forces put up a brave defense, and the Draconians are ultimately thwarted, but the result is a cascade of satellite collisions in low Earth orbit produce a deadly junk belt around the planet. Captain William "Buck" Rogers us caught on the wrong side of that junk belt out in space. The Draconians retreat back through the wormhole from whence they came, as their is nothing else in the Solar System they are currently interested in, but they do eyeball Mars. Buck Rogers has no choice but to enter the low berth on his fighter, its an experimental emergency system so save on life support when travelling long distances in his space fighter. The humans are stuck on Earth for a century at least, as the junk in low Earth orbit slowly decay and reenter the Earth's atmosphere clearing out the space so ships can pass through that region once again. The Earth in the meantime builds arcologies on the Earth's surface. The Draconians have managed some limited nuclear strikes on the Earth's surface, cities have been devastated. The Draconians settle and terraform the planet Mars, by moving atmosphere from Titan to Mars using orbital rings and mass drivers. Mars is inhabited by Draconian colonists once Earth goes back into space once again. The Draconians own history comes from a different timeline, in that timeline the Earth doesn't discover those wormholes until much later, the planet Draconia in the Sigma Draconis system is settled by Earth colonists in slower than light generation ships and sleeper ships. Using a wormhole discovered in the Sigma Draconis system, the Draconians settle other neighboring worlds and get into conflicts with other human colonies in neighboring systems, over time they have build an empire through these wormholes, as they were the first ones to discover them. The wormhole in our Solar System was discovered by Earth Humans when Draconian forces invaded through it, this of course changes history as a Draconian invasion never occurred in the 21st century of the Draconian timeline, so basically by building its empire, the Draconians created a bunch of separate timelines parallel to their own, their empire has lasted subjectively for them a few thousand years since their home planet was colonized by Earth humans.
