| The universe is old, so endlessly old that you might be persuaded to think it has existed forever, but it has not. 13 billion years have passed since the universe was born in an explosion. In one single moment, all time and matter and energy was spat out, spat out into utter darkness. | The universe is so old that you might be persuaded to think it has existed forever, but it has not. |
| |
| The universe mixed the elements into a multitude of star spinning galaxies, millions and millions of them each one unique in it's own spinning correography. Among the many millions of these busy spirals, 5 billion years ago, the innocent galaxy of the Milky Way was born as one of them. | 13 billion years ago the universe was born: In an explosion all of //time// and //matter// and //energy// was spat out. |
| |
| This was an insignificant galaxy, but it's own dawn only took half a Billion years, and among the new stars a orbiting planet of rolling iron was born. The ball of iron had a moon in the sky, a perculiar giant moon, able to protect it perhaps from the billions of tonnes of orbiting debris that constantly threatened to crash in and expunge the newborn atmosphere. | The universe mixed into a multitude of star spun galaxies, and 8 billion years after the big bang, the galaxy of the [[Milky Way Galaxy|Milky Way]] was born. |

| 1 billion years later the crust had cooled on this particular rock, and something began: It was life. | The [[Milky Way Galaxy|Milky Way]] was an insignificant galaxy, but after only half a Billion years, as a new star was born, an orbiting planet of rolling iron was born.

| Life inhabited this world and for 3 and a half billion years the metranome of space had plodded this planet forward it is development, until finally one planet became more peculiar, and life jumped a gap. Now the pace quickened and after barely 0.2 Billion years ago even more complex life appeared. Now the universe watched this little rusted crusted ball of molten iron was now thick with a warm cloak of gases. First life, then complex independant life, and then powerful freakishly life. What could be next the ether wondered and as if that wasn't shock enough barely a tick had happened when something happened that simply blew everything before it away. | The universe watched this little rusted crusted ball of molten iron was now thick with a warm cloak of gases. 1 billion years later the crust had cooled on this particular rock, and something totally new began: |

| The collpase Universe is set in a possible future of the [[Humans|human race]]. The basic premise is that [[Humans|humans]] have been around for a very long time and have travelled extensively throughout the [[Milky Way Galaxy]] [[Inhabited galaxies| and beyond]] over many millenia. [[Humans|humans]] broadly conduct this growth in a cyclical manner, expanding and contracting in phases of growth. This growth always occurs according to the rules of the technological time frame available to them: in a sense the [[Technological age|technological ages]] seperate the types of expansion and contraction across [[Pattern arcs|arcs of time and repidity]].

| | The collapse Universe is set in a possible future of the [[Humans|human race]].

| At the right [[technological age|technological ages]], [[Humans|human]] settlement of planets and their terraforming occurs (during an arc of expansion). Afterwards retraction is usually (but not always) cyclical too, due to the inherant processes of [[Pattern arcs|the arc the expansion was in]]. Inevitably [[Humans|human]] colonies on planets become isolated and lost potentially even eventually totally seperated. Unable to support themselves technologically, [[humans|humans]] will become seperated by huge amounts of time and distance, and generations eventually revert to a more primitive [[feral humans|feral]] [[technological age|technological ages]] and then re-assert themselves slowly over millenia as a independant unique society un aware of it's ancestral origins. | At the right [[technological age|technological ages]], [[Humans|human]] settlement of planets and their terraforming occurs (during an arc of expansion).

| Because the [[Milky Way Galaxy]] is so large and the [[Pattern arcs|arcs of time]] so long, all colonised planets are always effectively doomed. Sooner or later planets will be the victim of expansion, colonisation, retraction, and finally then [[feral humans|feral]] reversion. This is a fundamental of [[pattern state law|pattern law]]. the irony being that this once reverted, feral planet can regain space mastery and populate a new world of itself and then go into a cycle of retraction and then isolation for the newly new world. | Because the [[Milky Way Galaxy]] is so large and the [[Pattern arcs|arcs of time]] so long, all colonised planets are always effectively doomed.
