For those I left behind - the memoirs of Colonel Jason Myers

[Jansen]

At first I should tell you about the Colonial history, most of it can be found in history books all over the Republic, but you do have to understand it in order to understand me and my actions.


Mankind’s first interstellar endeavor has brought people from all nations to a place far away from their home, the Earth. They were a large group of individuals diverse as life can be, children, men, women, scientists, engineers, farmers, politicians and many more. A diversity that would be necessary for what was planned for them, they had volunteered to be the first humans travelling further away then anyone else before them, they had been chosen to find a new place to live, they had been chosen to be the founders of a new civilization. A new civilization somewhere out there.


Their destination was a sector spotted only a few years before their departure, it was a place unlike all the other uninhabitable worlds humanity could find out there, scans indicated that at least 6 of the planets in this area were able to be colonized by humans, most even supported life without the need of terraforming and could be settled within a short amount of time. Many years later the two prototype ships Gemini and Orion reached this place, the Crayter sector. The birth of the Crayterian nation began at a time when the humans on earth had been splited into two groups fighting each other, the Alliance and the Coalition.
