Colonies and Outposts of the SMC

Colonies and Outposts of the SMC 



In 4800 during the annual Astrographic Conference on Para Para, Union scientists and scholars came to the conclusion that the Union should put more effort into a general survey of the entire Local group. Some argued it that the Y'All could have come from any of the local galaxies. While others pointed to the Leedei, the Attikans and Union Andromeda Members to illustrate how much the Union was enriched by these members. The idea that there are other advanced societies in nearby Galaxies should be worth exploring.

Military voices suggested that it would be a benefit to expand outposts to create an early warning network against potetnial trans galactic threats.

The Conference prepared a report for the Assembly, the Science Council agreed that increased interest in the Galaxies neighborhood would be beneficial and so the Assembly voted and the Local Group Assessment Project was born. Long Range Expeditions were planned and sent over the next 50 years to all Galaxies of the local group.

One of the closest Galactic neighbors was the Small Magellanic Cloud.

While contact was made with another space faring society that arrived from the Sculptor Galaxy a few decades before the Union Expedition arrived. No sentient space faring society was found that is native to the SMC until 5040.

In 5040 contact with the Upto was made, a TL 2 society that just send its first chemical rockets into space and encountered HALD-Explorers in their system.



 Today there are 38 Colonies, Outposts and Bases in the SMC :
