These were the Association of Antares Nations, the Antares Community and the Ariko Pact. Within a decade of Reunion Day, the Assembly's three largest nations, the Federation of Jut Fareed, the Republic of Retiva, and the Republic of Chengatai, had each established their own supranational unions. Mutually beneficial trade, spiraled into opportunism and the establishment of rival trade blocs. However, political friction grew almost immediately with several of the system's most powerful nations began manoeuvring to assume the mantle of leadership. In an attempt to remedy this in 152 AL on the 3rd Annual Reunion Day, a new institution was created, the Antares Assembly. ĭespite their common heritage, the sense of fellowship that had existed across the Earhart Flotilla, had been greatly eroded within the nations of Antares. Others had developed into one or sometimes several nation states. A few nations had just barely managed to survive and would be reliant on outside help to truly thrive. Among the surviving sites, the level of success varied considerably. Of the fallen 8: 2 had starved, 4 had succumbed to disease, 1 had frozen, 1 had flooded, while the fate of the last was sealed. The reunification was bittersweet, as not every colony had prospered, of the 19 original settlements, only 11 had survived. In 149 AL the pioneers of Antares established regular contact with one another, marking the first Reunion Day - a holiday celebrated annually across the Confederacy. Slowly the first satellites were sent back into orbit, and contact was reestablished. Others had to fight for decades simply to get their crops to grow, or find clean water. Some, in time managed to overcome their new environment, transforming their colony ships into the centres of new, emergent nations. For decades, each colony struggled in isolation, hoping that some day, they or their descendants might be reunited with each other. Goodbyes were said, and power reallocated to where it was better spent. Īt first, several of the nineteen sites remained in contact with one another, Gradually however, the effort required to overcome the system's unique stellar interference and maintain the connection grew too strenuous. In the final meeting of the Earhart leadership, representatives from each of the 19 sites made a pledge: While it was not the home they had expected, it was the one they had been given, in a unanimous decision they declared that the star system would be named Antares, in honor of their original destination and no matter how long it might take to overcome the fate wrested upon them, one day, the pioneers of Antares would find one another, and together head once more into the unknown. While these settlements remained in contact at first, eventually their dwindling power reserves were better spent fueling agriculture or nascent industry. The flotilla colonized Dakarai, Ariane, Lindiwe, Hai, Nakiska, Alhaji, Vinh and Ziva. Without the means to sustain their population in a single settlement, and fearful of alien diseases, natural disasters, potential hostile life or other calamities the flotilla spread itself across 19 sites in the Antares system, in the hopes that some, if not all, would survive. This reorganization efforts was an almost unprecedented logistics effort. Everything aboard each ship, from the enormous next-generation atmospheric processors and gravitational tethers, to the farming equipment and industrial machinery, all the way down to individual colonists, seeds and gallons of water, had been the result of decades of planning. Before these probes had even returned the Earhart Flotilla frantically moved to reorganize itself. The Settlement of Antares began with Operation Longshot, in which thousands of automated probes were sent across the Antares System to identify potential locations for human settlement. This system, while completely unknown, contained several worlds that appeared capable of supporting human life. However, the Earhart Flotilla had not been destroyed in the transition but had instead arrived in an unknown star system. However, when the scheduled check-ins were missed and 30 months passed with no sign of the flotilla, Earth declared the flotilla lost, mourning the largest loss of life in the modern era. The colonization flotilla entered the artificial wormhole without incident. These colonists were intended to become the second wave of settlers in the newly sufficient Antares Colonies. On the 1st March 2159 CE, 6 million colonists departed Earth's orbit as part of the Earhart Colonization Program.
