Most settings throw in an FTL system very early on. I wanted to create an expansion not based on finding some technology or having it given to us. I am going to have a Gravitic Age after the Fusion Age as a logical extension of the same setting. Basically the Main Belt will have most of the population of humanity in it by that point. Each sector will have 8 to 10 asteroid cities the population of New York or greater. There are 360 sector radii and each sector is one AU deep. The Main Belt starts at about 2 AU and goes out to 4 AU so you are talking about 720 sectors just in the Main Belt of people. Then Earth and Mars will be terraformed (Well Earth will be repaired) and Venus will be close to terraformed (stripped of the extra atmosphere). Jupiter by that point will have a major population as well as ones around Saturn and the other outer planets. The ships will have have accelerations of up to 300 gravities and we will have serious mining of the Kupier Belt. Plus I would have large gardens and antimatter generators around the Sun. I would also have gravitic pulse communications for high speed but limited information signals. But I need to finish the Fusion Age first.</blockquote>
