In 2030 the scientific communities interest was peaked by the IRSOs discovery of a anomalous rogue planet moving at eight percent light speed fifteen light years away expected to pass within four light years of the solar system within the next century public opinion was that the event was of alien origin and SETI began transmitting in the direction. When the trajectory of the planet was re-plotted years later after a special team was set to observe the phenomenon. It was found that the planet would pass within two light years of the solar system. Four separate independent groups along with SETI and the UN team proposed that its original trajectory had not been miscalculated but rather altered. The Hawking Telescope and Hubble telescopes had independently photographed the planet and five moons had been discovered the upper limit of two exceeded earth. Many independent missions were developed to observe and Space-X, NASA, ESA, and IRSO formed an unprecedented coalition to put together a mission to intercept the rogue. The latter threes budgets were independently nearly quadrupled by their respective governments. Many multilateral agreements were made between most of the world states planning for joint economic, military, and scientific projects unofficially regarding the rogue. During the 40s the ears of the earth began picking up on radio waves coming from the new rogue. The Internet screamed alien and many wondered why the secrecy, postulating the end of the world. And by the 50s it was widely accepted that the Super Earth was not natural in origin. It was during this decade that the earth experience WW3. Unexpected relations between the PRC and ROC heated after decades of work towards peace. The PRC was the head of the Peking Pact which saw many Asian countries gradually grow closer to China most notably North Korea, Kazakhstan, Bangladesh, and Cambodia. A rivaling India which had engaged in a limited nuclear war with Pakistan in the 20s leading to the great disarmament. Sought to overcome China and become the World Super power. The west especially Europe as well as North Africa greatly sympathized with India. A weakened Russia also had beef with China. The ensuing war would end with Taiwanese independence, The fall of North Korea, The great Asian massacre, and the fall of Turkey, and most importantly the UN reform. Germany, Japan, Korea, and a weakened India would gain secondary permanent security council seats, with China being demoted to secondary and would alternate with Taiwan every four years. The Security council would be expanded to twenty-one seats as well as a major redistricting of Africa especially in the northern parts. The planet was named Skari after the Norse god of war. And was accepted as having the first example of Alien life the species was to be named Un-Extris, Terrestries. The planet was observed to have two rings forming an “X”, Flashes of light could often be seen from the rings and communications would be made. The Hawking telescope would provide more detailed information. Its primary moon Hela was calculated to weigh 7.2 x 10^24 kgs nearly 20% larger than earth with a margin of error less than a percent and effectively making it a double planet system.

Earths first permanent colonies were sent to the Moon and to Deimos and in the 60s Brazil and Argentina saw themselves emerging on a larger and larger regional scale. The US had been greatly weakened in the 20s and 30s saw a rebound in the 40s and plateaued in the 50s. Japan had a booming economy but never saw itself reach a militarily significant status it developed close ties with the ROC in the late 50s but saw a drastic change beginning with the 60s, Russia remained a regional power and its economy grew gradually. The EU become less federated but did see significant expansion around the Mediterranean. The Asia-Pacific 3 (AP3); Korea, Japan, and the ROC would develop an economic bloc and become the main power of the far east as India and Indonesia each suffered from internal disputes. It was also during this time that a mad group from the US started the creation of an Island off the coast of South America. The AP3 on the moon was named Yeu-Ki’nu. Meanwhile the Western collaborators base was named point. The UN privately approved the arming of four orbital defense satellites, three would house large asteroid lasers as well as a stockpile of conventional missiles. The fourth would be a full fledged station twelve times the size of the ISS overseen by a command representing the Security Council. A series of communications breakthroughs identified Extra Terrestries as a species and a civilization named the Vondunke. The Vondunke informed them that they were on a thousand year mission to the Alpha Centuari System which housed four times the mass of the solar system and that they wished to open a diplomatic embassy on Eris. They waited to open communications with us do to not being able to decipher our language reasonably mixed with cultural and political reasons as they had to inform “Ganorth” of their success and wait for their approval also during the “bluff” it was viewed as unconventional for “Siber” (Their Gas Giant) to open communications in such and such a way during such and such a time. According to their law Eris orbit remained inside the solar wind and is thus counted as part of the system. The native species Chiliœn (Humans) had exceeded their solar wind thus promoting them to an Extra Solar species giving them claim to all objects within the wind. However because the US a nation state and not the highest planetary government held sovereignty over the craft and because no settlement of permanent or temporary nature had been made Eris had remained untouched and thus unclaimed and entitled the first come to all bodies outside the orbit of the outermost planet. Thus it is customary that any settlement made on Eris be under system law. In exchange the Vondunke offered to work with Humanity until natural life expectancy had been doubled. In 2064 the UN debated these terms and accepted proposing to work out the conditions in person on Deimos the message was sent and they expected to hear a reply in 2082. Lights were seen the following year and it was determined that spacecraft had been launched from the system in the thousands. These craft began accelerating and capped out in speed by mid 2065 at eighteen percent light speed. By 2070 AP3 and EU had established Martian colonies and efforts were made to reach Ceres and Vesta by 2090, Russia split during a very heated rivalry with lots of drama and international intervention into Yakust-Siberia and North Russia and the Caucus states. Europe support East Georgia as the successor and AP3 supported Yakust-Siberia it was agreed that both were better than North Russia however these states were unable to unite on one or the other and North Russia became the successor. By 2080 The US, India, and a project by Brazil, South Africa, and Australia would put colonies on the moon, deimos, phobos, and or mars. North Russia successfully landed a craft on Ganymede. East Georgia joined the EU and the US finally collapsed under cultural pressure into the United Atlantic States, State of Texas, and a number of smaller polities to the west dominated by what used to be North and South California. The UN headquarters would be moved to Tokyo with a proposals of Point Colony and Brussels also being considered. In 2082 the reply came back The Vondunke would send delegations from each of their five worlds and a delegation to represent the habitats forming the X around the planet a seventh would represent the Glanorth entity. They would prefer not to make negotiations in orbit of a planet named after war and would prefer to base their delegations on the Earth Trojan.
