OOC: Since my first Factbook is pretty much a pile of shit, i may as well do it again. Second time's the charm?
Imperial Colonies report on the state of affairs as of 22/4/2892
Part one: History of The Colonies...
The origins of the Colonies is disputed and often unclear. However, one thing is sure: Humans as we know them did not evolve on any of the Colonies. At some point of our history, we arrived on Terrva at some point in our past. How is not known. However, it is safe to assume that everything past that point is well known. All that follows is a rough timeline of our history
