So, let me get this straight. Since it's after 3000 AD now, you've been working on the Ark for more than a thousand years (roughly). Damn. That's cool. So how did no harm come to it during the FIW? And how did you even have the resources to start when mankind was mostly late PMT... especially if you hadn't split from the URE yet (the URE wasn't even formed until 2160, and we didn't even have interstellar colonies until 2118. That is, unless you changed the history, which I'm totally fine with, after all, you can't be expected to abide by the historical base of a player that wasn't around for the better part of a year.)
As you can tell, I set up a pretty in-depth history of the URE. I'd link you my Microsoft Word document about the 'history' of the future, but I wrote it when I was 11, so... yeah. Grammar, accuracy n'stuff. Plus I've augmented it since, and I'm considering this one of several 'main' fictional universes in which the URE exists/did exist. It certainly is the most interesting, thanks to you guys.
If you have any interest about the original fictional universe I created to house the URE and several other star nations, just TG me and I'll be happy to waste your time with multi-paragraph responses.
I have changed the history yes, since we needed something to fit what we did in the original thread. You can find a chronology and a complete history in my factbooks.
According to what I wrote, Mankind mainly lost the FTL travel during the night, and most of the technology that was lost was civilian, for obvious reasons. The people on Thylium, who would later become the capital of the S.C., had the plans as the work was started before the Great War. With pretty much nothing else important to do, they worked at it. It was thought that the new ship might have some sort of FTL travel when completed.
Then it wasn't affected in the IW's since the Keltakens never reached Tau Volantis, that planet is hidden deep into Colonial territory.
